What's with the AOE indicators?

[CyrilLucifer]

This happens all the time to me, still, to be honest, and my connection is above-average.

It's better than it was before the changes, but last night I still got hit with an AOE I was 5 steps away from. There's no excuse for that.

This is wrong. To test I have moved out of the circle and then moved back in while the circle was still red and do not get hit sometimes. There seems to be something very wrong with the way this works on some encounters/enemies.

There was a gif on the beta forums I saw that demonstrated exactly what you're saying.

To me I feel like this is the worst aspect of the combat system in ARR. What's worse is that it's designed this way intentionally. If I see a telegraph of a skill, and react properly and get out of the way in time (via my screen, as in what the game is programmed to show me), I should not be hit by a skill that should have missed. All they really need to do is sync the skill progress bar with the aoe display, instead of having one offset from the other.
