    You are using AMD cards, and the're 6800's at that. This game has been proven many times over to prefer Nvidia cards atm. AMD guys are pretty much screwed atm. Get a 660GTX or better (preferably a 760) and it will run a TON better.

    I had the exact same card but I had two of them and they were in CrossFire and the game ran like shit. Get an Nvidia card like a 760 and you won't have any issues.

    Now I'm not saying the AOE thing is a non issue for me, but its significantly better than others I see. I can run out of AOE at the last second and make it. The only time I get hit is if he's casting it as I'm running out of the red. Which is fine.

    People rely on the red areas to much, they are not exact. They are more there to get you to react to something, not to exactly represent the window of the AOE attack. What that means is if you watch the casting bar on some fights with Red Areas on the ground the casting bar ends before the red area disappears. If your in the red when the casting bar ends your getting hit.

    However some mobs don't cast, they just shoot something off but there is still red there. For such encounters you have to watch the boss animations and learn what the trigger is for the landing of the attack and you need to be out before that animation drops. Some of these fights require people to watch the boss and just use the red circle/aoe areas as a kind of visual que.

    It's not the rigs... You sound very unintelligible about whats going on in game... There are clear and obvious server side lag issues skipping etc in duty finders and in high populated areas that are not a fps issue... Anyways titan is a pointless fight with no rewards that's just a gate from real endgame with real rewards...

    So because the game is designed like shit I have to go out and drop 200-300 on a video card when I already have run that plays other games maxed out?

    I have no idea what she's talking about lol, also the game is designed for AMD. At first people blamed PS3 players for the overall issues with the game, then people blame the fact someone is using an AMD card...

    What next?

    The game runs like crap for us AMD card users.. check out the tech support.. Long threads with a ton of us getting like 10 fps and crashes for no reason we can find.

    Wow you really do not know anything about PC's according to your posts.
    IF my FPS is sitting at 60-120 constant then My PC specs have absolutely nothing to do with the delay.

    Please quite pretending to be knowledgeable in a subject you apparently know nothing about. Your posts just scream Troll Fanboism.
