    I keep avoiding Aoe(s) from Boss(es) but still get hit.

    I have got fiber and my ping is 15ms.

    This has happened to me multiple times in different occasions in different times and days where I was out of sight aka not inside the shape of the enemy's Aoe but I still get damage and/or dots on me.

    Basically I am talking about the last second escape and somehow this issue pinpoints to me as there is this "lag-input" from the game and from my side I need to be 1 second faster so that lag input does not effect me. What that means is that I will not be able to avoid anything the last second due to that.

    Anyone else has noticed this?

    It's a common issue that has been around since beta, they have fixed it to a better state, but in order to avoid the dmg of a monster AoE attack you have to be out of the AoE zone before the casting bar reaches 50%, I remember reading something like that around here but in order to be sure don't wait to the last second before moving away from the boss AoE zone and you shouldn't have any problems.

    In this game you cannot dodge reactively, you have to predict when to dodge and start moving before it starts casting. The outcome of a terrible design choice :P

    Fortunately most notorious battles are scripted so once you learn or get a hint of the rotation you can act before stuff happens.

    This is a blatant lie, though. To this day, I have not encountered a single boss that required me to dodge pre-emptively.

    Same. There is always enough time to react. You must react very quickly though.

    the biggest thing I have found is if I'm getting a little on the slow side, Stop attacking when you dodge. if you try to squeeze an
    attack in while your moving out, the server is recording your position inside the aoe. So if I notice I got hit moving out, I stop swinging
    on dodges afterward. If I get out, then I know i'm lagging a little and pay attention a little more.

    Titan EX plumes cannot be outrun based on visual ques if you have at least a tiny bit of lag.

    The only time I had to predict the AoEs was when I was playing on a Japanese server from US. Now that I am on a US server I can usually wait a second or two after the AoE shows up and still make it out. Running 10MBPS DSL. Average ping to server is around 200ms.
