Hi everyone

I think this subject has already been debated a lot but I wanted to add my own experience as healer (45 WHM). I played FFXI for 8 years, I'm used to avoid AoE before castbar reaches 75% completion

As a healer, I cast 90% of the time on boss fight, I look at my feet to avoid facing boss/standing in AoE and I focus HP bars and ailments. Therefore :

1) I mainly don't see the mob castbar since I don't target it
2) I move as soon as I see the red lines, most of the time interrupting a spell I was casting and go far away, I think way before the cast bar is at 75%

I STILL GET HIT BY THE AOE

After testing, it seems that the game records the position when you start casting but it doesn't take into account the fact that you interrupt and move. If you want it to be registered, you have to start another action when you done moving, which is hard when boss starts spamming AoE

This needs to be corrected or some healers won't help in dungeon anymore

Take care
