Sorry SE, but endgame won't work if you don't fix something.

I'd be interested to see how many of those complaining are playing on servers halfway across the world. I'm only level 37 but I have no problem dodging quick timers at all. For one thing I'm a maraduer who never stops moving, but still. I can't see it being that difficult as long as your in the right region and don't have horrible Internet.

Whether AOEs CAN be dodged or not is irrelevant at this point. The fact that what you see on screen does not accurately represent whats going on is the problem.

Imagine your boss told you to come to work at 8am. You show up promptly at 7:50am, only to be reprimanded for being 5 minutes late.
You'd complain, not because you are incapable of getting to work 15 minutes early, but because if he wanted you there at 7:45, he should have said 7:45.

That's all we're saying. If the AOE circle and casting bar REALLY end a second before the screen says they do, then SE has failed. Case closed

(By the way... that was the best FFXIV delay analogy you'll ever see)

Agreed. Everyone saying they learned to preempt his abilities are verifying the fact that the animations are off by a small length of time of anywhere from 0.5 to upwards of 2.0 seconds.

When I finally completed Titan Story mode just a few minutes ago, the thing I had to do was heal, then move, heal, then move so that I was ready if he faced me. Otherwise, I would get hit all the time. There was one time where I got hit and went sliding the complete opposite direction to his ground attack(don't know the name) where he faces you. If that isn't animation lag, then I must really have it bad
