in defense of the OP, sometimes even with proper ability timing (and sometimes doing nothing but auto-attacks between eruptions) i've still been hit... when i ran straight back after seeing 'ifrit readies eruption' in my battle log (which i've found shows up a full second before the spell effect on the ground) and still get nailed by it all the way against the far side.

...although i've killed ifrit several times, and most of my kills i was never hit by plumes/eruptions.

i can sympathize with the guy, latency shouldn't be a factor in content, at least until they get their server structure figured out..

although i'm fairly hopeful they will come up with a more interesting mechanic than 'dodge this voidzone' for the next fight.. otherwise they'll see 1 tank, 2-3 conjurers, and 4-5 of whichever DD they make OP again.. no reason to bring different classes when the only role is doing damage and moving out of fire.
