Zoning and spell didn't land but I died...

[Kelsar]

Somehow I died to Flip's nuke that hadn't even landed yet I was already at the zoning screen. I had 45% HP left when gate went off. -was tricked into porting one of his guildmates... and it was a trap...

This makes me wonder if there is a delay from a player seeing the zoning/please wait message, to the time they actually leave the zone and are still vulnerable.

Maybe that is similar? Pretty sure I didn't have a DoT on me...

There is a delay, much in the same way noobs used to AE zonelines on vztz while people weren't even able to control their characters. Characters spawned long before they were controllable but still able to be killed.

I don't know if this is the case here, but it is possible it works on both sides of zoning, before and after.
