I have the bad feeling, that we still have server lag...running out of the aoe circles and getting hit anyway, feels like an Ifrit fight dejavu...
Pretty much i am pissed about that...
The distance from here to Montreal is about half the distance from Montreal to parts of Europe (I used Paris for my distance calculations). As such my observations may not apply to Europe. I noticed that if I ran when I saw the circle appear and stopped a little beyond the circle whether I got hit or not was pretty random. If I ran when I saw the circle and ran a ways beyond the circle, I wouldn't get hit most of the time. If I ran when the enemy's casting bar appeared, I would never get hit even if I stopped just a little out of range. Being healer in Ifrit (so I didn't see his casting bar) as long as I ran right after the ground effects showed up I didn't get hit at all. The only 1.0 Ifrit fight that I did was the low level one where Ifrit was defeated by the people that skipped the scene before I was even done the scene (I never got around to doing the hard primal fights for some reason), so my experience is as a noob to Ifrit who has only read about what you had to do.
