not true I live in Korea and play on American servers. I always have 180 ping I have hit the boss many times.
Ive also tanked with 500+ ping its doable. Will you push keys with it? No but it can be done
As have I.
But I also have missed many times. The point isn’t that you can never hit Devos. The point is that you can’t reliably hit her with that latency.
And missing even once bricks your key, after 40 minutes getting there. It’s not an acceptable risk.

500 is doable. 800 is not. Input lag at that latency would make your character basically unplayable, let alone reacting to game mechanics on top of that.
I have posted about the devos spear bugs previously here: Devos Spear is bugged in 3 different ways and only 1 of them was fixed
There are 3 bugs associated with the spear on the final boss encounter in Spires Of Ascension.
The first bug (spear not working on far left or far right), which was fixed last reset, can be seen here:

The 2nd bug is inherent in the targeting reticule system that is used in this encounter and a bunch of awful world quests. The targeting reticule will magnetically attach to the closest object in its path. On the spires fight, this is often the bubble that is cast by the friendly Kyrian, which is invisible to the person operating the spear. This will cause the spear to fail completely and just fall to the ground.
There is a video of this bug here:

The third bug I believe to be latency related and the spear will just fail even though obviously hitting Devos. A video of this can be found here:

and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx7KkahqEj0&ab_channel=Gretel
Nothing has been done to address the 2nd two bugs on Devos which are still wrecking otherwise timed keys by wiping groups due to a buggy vehicle mechanic which has no place in serious play.

I had this issue on a 13 yesterday, and failed to time the key because of it. Not sure if it was ping related or not, as I’ve done US groups before (as someone from OCE) and never had trouble with the spear. But yesterday I ‘missed’ Devos twice, and we wiped twice, even though the spear clearly hit her.
Whether or not ping is a factor, there’s definitely a problem with the hit detection on this fight, and Blizzard need to fix it.
