Titan issues that need addressing.

So the answer is no, you didn't read the OP. This is not about standing in stuff too long and getting hit. This is about how the cast bar starts ticking down before the indicators on the ground appear. This means that you literally have less time to get out of the way seeing as there is a period of time in the beginning where you don't know where the safe zones are. This is clearly indicative of a problem. The cast bar and the indicators, which the OP calls a telegraph, should start simultaneously.

Sigh, never had the "problem" when I was on my potato laptop. I knew guys who bootcamped on macs to play and still managed to dodge the plumes and never complained about how difficult it was to deal with weights.

Even if they don't happen at the same time the window between the ground effect and the cast bar isn't as significant as you're implying. If it was such an issue then the fights would be almost unclearable to average players which is absolutely not the case.

This of course bars people who suffer from legitimate latency problems (EU, Aus, etc).
