Yeah latency was my biggest nemesis even while on EU servers. Titan EX used to do me over when the plumes came up. On my end I was out with a good 1.5seconds to spare but server side I must've been just standing still because I kept taking the full force. I ended up actually playing with a timer noting down when AOE's would take place and predict my movements all in advance - it was a total nightmare. Pingzapper only worked for a short while too so I'm looking for alternatives. Till then I'm restricted as to the servers I can play
