Ifrit/Moogle King and Jobs

Yea I don't know if we have been very lucky or not but Totems and Weapons dropped. I got my 4th Ifrit's Cudgel (>.>) and some others got Totems. If many have noticed that it could mean they have increased the drop rate.

Yes did a few test runs like the day after AF came out.

Tried it with PLD, x4 DRG, x2 WHM and BRD

PLD was a nice tank, and the WHM abilities helped greatly, BRD also seemed to hold it's own but DRG... doesn't seem to put out as much Damage as Lancer. We also couldn't get the nails down as fast as normal, plus with DRg not having Sentinal it was wipe city at Hellfire.

Tried it with PLD, x3 MNK, DRG, x2 WHM and BRD

Other classes as stated above, but OMG MNK put out the damage. Only issues was it was crack city... non stop crack crack crack... plus since it was close range damage, yeah MPK the tank much? >.<

Also with the fact that not every job can have raise it was a MUCH longer recovery time to get people up, especially when a healer went down on accident.

In the end we went back to classes except for the PLD/WHM and did much better.

This was only one test, some have come up with different ways to try it so I am sure we will test it again.

So what exactly do you mean by AoE Sentinel?

NO my bad I thought Paladin got AoE sentinel but its Rampart :(

It's really too bad because party wide sentinel would have been a nice ability for paladin to have :(

One thing that helped us during Ifrit was using Battle Voice about 10 or so seconds before Hellfire went off. This requires someone to use a timer for when spikes pop out. When the timer goes down, people gather, bard uses Battle Voice, HP goes up, and survivability increases.

war owns. you get a lot of hp and a lot of attack.

and you can get like 900 hp back using certain combinations of skills. Who needs cure when we've got bloodthirst and steel cyclone?

Exactly what I said ; ;

But yea this strategy works perfectly fine! I really thing if everyone does everything right it's 100% survivability. And with the Benediction that can come after Hellfire you have full HP in less than a second.

Anavi ; ; People never think about including Bard in their strategies. We are only range attackers and a bit enhancers now for one song... "WHERE IS MY MAGI?!" "O.o yes Sir!!... but I can do other stuff and increase TP for example" "I DON'T CARE MAGI ME!!!"

My bad, Seyra. Totally missed that part in your post. But yeah, nobody thinks about bards and battle voice. Most likely it's because this is pretty much a new concept in the current battle system. Until now we had no jobs that could do what bards do.

Hehe yes, I really like how the Jobs complete eachothers. I like the team work that is needed now. Honestly, for me, Ifrit has never been as fun as it is now, but this is subjective. It does not only require DD's do be badass in their own corners but everyone can enhance and help eachother in a way or another.

I couldn't agree more. ^_^
