Standing out of the red, and still getting hit

[Stamar]

Honestly..

Dying a meter to the left of a boss cause you get hit by his 1 foot wide frontal attack when you're meters away is very annoying

This will likely prevent me from staying in the long term..

Anyone else copping this issue day in, day out?

Haha that's awesome. Saves me time clicking the back button.

It means you are getting out too late. The damage isn't calculated when the animation starts, instead it is calculated the moment the cast bar above the monster's life finishes. The center of your body needs to be completely out before red area underneath you disappears, which is right AFTER the cast time of the animation. You cannot wait until you SEE the attack animations, you must get out before.

Yep...like it or not you are just not getting out in time...watch the cast bar above the mobs head or play it safe and get out of the circle earlier than you have been.

Of course it's not unreasonable to make a link between giant red circle's appearance/disappearance and the AOE attack is it? If this isn't a lag issue then it appears to be an animation issue (as it would surely mean that the red target area *isn't* linked to the attack) and needs to be addressed ASAP. It's not fair to have fights rely on this mechanic if it doesn't correlate to what's actually happening.

What I like the most about this game is avoidance, you have to act just as quick as real life scenario. Take for example when you drive, you see someone jumping on the road... you stop as soon as possible or risk hitting them, you don't hit the breaks and try to stop when they are near you but instead as soon as you see them.

Act faster people! I like how tanks get pissed when I tell them to move much faster and they get so dam rude and as a healer I get pissed because they tanks sometimes think oh hold on I don't need to move out because I'm a tank and I can take it.... then bang he/she either dies and blame me for it or just get away with 1 HP and I have to spam heals asap and risk going out of mana :/

There are some mobs where it is delayed and not right.

There are aothers where it is right, the cast finishes and the mob can stil turn and hit you with it, or arc it over to you. By that time the ability already built.

I'd say in most cases this is simply down to latency, where you appear on your screen and where the server thinks you are can be different, especially if you're not playing from Canada or Japan where the servers are
