    Well gave it another half dozen tries... sitting in the center helped a lot BUT there were still times when I was totally in the clear and still lost something like three quarters of my health from a single hit. I mean I was standing right next to Graha and he took zero damage. Doubt there's any official way, but I used a ping mod and see I am running around 80ms in game. My recollection is that is the figure I have always in the past gotten... matter of fact I just ran a ping test to 204.2.29.82 and got back 77ms to 92ms for 10 pings averaging around 81ms (data below). I know it's not my usual 20-30ms (just pinged google, got 11ms to 19ms, average around 13ish), but is that 80ms not good enough? MY internet connection is not in any way an issue here, it's on SE.

    I very much have seen this issue in other combat content. I make the move at the right time and still take a hit. Sometimes there's no other telegraphing but the target marker on the ground. I move out of the target marker, am on clean ground, and I still take damage. But now I recall someone I knew was with me and they said I did not move out of the targeted area. Maybe I need to video record it...

    Question I haven't seen anyone else ask is did you have trouble when fighting the last boss of Holmister Switch? As that boss shares its model and a few of its attacks. You can also try to make sure G'raha is in-between you and the boss for the fist slams.

    Your ping is definitely not the issue. I play with a ping at 150-300ms. That boss gives you well advanced notice of everything. This game works on snapshots btw. Look for at the cast bar an other movements (like the raised arm).

    Well, after almost 2 dozen tries I gave up. Was chatting with some FC folks and they ended up taking me through it. Much the same thing happened, I did avoid the smashes but even if clear and standing right by a teammate, I got hit for three quarters of my health and they took zero damage. Died 3-4 times. The next 2 bosses (which I had never seen before) I got through with I think only one death. Hopefully this is an outlier...
