One eruption won't kill you
One plume won't kill you (you shouldn't get hit by plumes anyway, if your tank has him in the right spot)

If they increased the time before eruptions blew up, it would be way too easy. Sometimes I'm already waiting 2-3 seconds for the eruptions blow up just to run back to him if the path is blocked. Other times I'm full out nuking on him while he's casting eruption. Being able to put in 2 WS before he finishes a set of 3 eruptions is a lot of damage... so increasing the timing on eruptions would be too easy.

I don't know what the solution is, we know the lag exists, it's not game breaking. It does give Ifrit a challenge and sometimes you do get hit by things (we know) but 1 eruption won't kill you.

The only true solution is for the new servers and stuff to be done...
