Yes, things happen.
I'm a squishy mage and last night I used Sentinel to survive when getting caught between 2 eruptions -- then Hellfire came with 15 seconds left on my Sentinel cooldown. I was really glad we had taken down 2 nails and I was able to survive with Sanguine Rite alone. ^^;
Oooh you are lucky!
I have done Ifrit at least 30 times now and only have 1 totem plus the Harpoon -- and I'm still at R18 for Lancer. ><;
