This is the first boss btw, not the 2nd. Thought I'd just mention that. 1st mob is just a warm up mob.
Lots of fun raging in this thread =)
At least a couple of times we got fried by the flame instantly upon initial attack and according to the reports here that also happened to others.
Regarding the nuke/flame issue, there were a couple of occasions in which I looked at my DMG log after death and died from the flame even though I was not standing on a (large) flame. That this also applied to others was by inference, observation, or them stating that it was so.
I think your idea about there being some lag/sync issues may be at least partially correct unless you came across some major insight since we did this earlier.

Fun stuff, if not aggravating
It's mostly the first boss. After that it tends to be less aggravating.

"Run here, click this, jump here, buff statue, strip naked, bend over"
What happend to "Go there, kill that, don't die"?
First room was ok, but instakill is so fu.. annoying.
Seams to me that you forgot about Ping delay or something, because sometimes we get warned. Others times i find myself standing in the middle of the flames, with no miniflame to warn.
You should stay away from Nano or attack buff at the start it seams.
Specialist Rafael Dietmart shouts: Cowards, you are next! (guess this is nano. 15%heal = coward? Or it's Attack)
Survived. Had crit buff up
Specialist Rafael Dietmart shouts: Cylinder of Speed, give me your swiftness! (speed ofc...)
survived. Had attack buff up
See you in a couple of days when they hopefully nerf it.
So what i have observed is dont have the buff he calls to avoid dot, have great internet that directly connects to AO server, and runn like hell!
In all seriousness a bit more time seems needed
The buffs called you totally want to avoid just keep em running.
Increase time on flames before they insta kill....
Sometimes we just jump to one warning to another...
it CAN be done as it is... but its not worth doing it.
Problem is:
He doesn't shout....... and then you die.
HESHOUTSANDYOUDIE!WOAwtfjusthappend?
You need to know what he's gonna shout.
1. avoid nano
2. avoid speed
3. ....i never got this far because either doc dies on 1. random flame. Or i get hit by instant nonwarned flames(lag? Sometimes i get warned like 2-3sec before. Others, none).
Someone help me fill that list, it seams to be static, so it should work.
I doubt this is working as intended... tomorrow will be a patch fixing that instance, not worth it thinking in solving it as it is...
Hint:
You can stand in the flames an not get hitt by them.
SPOILER:
If you stand exactly in the middle of 4 flames AKA on the the cross between the spawn places you dont get hitt.. This might help people not die on the initial flame.
My team just stod at one of the buff boxes (on one of these crosses) the whole fight. Keep your buff up at all time as the DoT/nuke you get hitt by when he shouts is higher if you have no buff than if you have the wrong buff. IIRC its about 6k with the buff he shouts and 8-13k without any buff.
Hope this helps. oh and we had 2 docs, so that enabled us to stand still the whole kill (not getting other buffs)
Got my infuser, but no clue how to use it!
As for the 2nd boss PROTECT the crates at all cost :P Root / calm the bombers.
I thought it was amusing to die so much
Got it figured out in the end, but it was so late I had to go to bed. Hopefully more time to try this weekend.

The issue is small flames damage you instantly if you are standing on them when they flare. If FC can sort that out the rest is doable.

You can get away from the flames, small ones too, without taking any noticable damage, you just have to move fast. Very twitchy encounter.
