The problem that some of us are experiencing is that the mechanics are not the same window of safety when dodging the same way.

When I pre-run into an area that is immediately becoming safe, sometimes I get hit, and sometimes I don't. It's not predictable due to networking issues to the FFXIV servers. From where I'm located in the United States, I have to use a VPN to go around two NTT bad nodes - Ashburn, VA and San Jose, CA. FFXIV users have complained for years about these nodes to their ISP and the FFXIV forums and nothing has changed after all of these years. With the VPN, the issue is reduced, but not eliminated entirely.

It's easy in retrospect to say "skill issue" and "this is where you got snapshot" but it's infuriating because FFXIV is the only game that I experience networking issues with.
