I've only ever (at most) had 1 ARC & 1 PGL in a party (2 LNC, Glad tank), but I guess we could try. Do you play ARC and can you dodge? I don't really know 2 ARC that are geared at the moment due to the great ARC nerf of 2011. I'd need someone to video capture it, too.Quote:

I guess I could think about it if my guy who video's fights is on board.
Why do Archers suck so bad against Ifrit?

If anything PGL needs some attention. Not saying other jobs don't, just saying I can't recall PGL ever getting a break.
Kinda sad I <3 PGL. I didn't even get to do Darkhold yet cause no one ever wanted PGL only ARC.
So yea think PGL needs some love too ; ; -

Problem is, SE keeps wanting PUG to tank, but the playerbase doesn't see them that way. :\

They could fix Pug by giving it the ability to evade seer (in the same way Thief could evade AoEs). Even if it came at reduced TP generation. (IE give the ability to dodge AoEs, and get less TP per hit or less damage, there has to be some tradeoff). Of course make it a pug only skill :D
They could fix archer by removing animation lock. Even if Archer deals less damage, it's still safer to bring if they had no lock. Because they could draw a lot of hate for eruptions, and have the eruptions not near the mages or the melee, able to easily sidestep.
Of course they should remove animation lock for all classes period. Even for spells. Just add Interuptions if a mage moves and the problem is solved. Almost no other MMO freezes your character if they use abilities except maybe Guild Wars or FF11 (and even then most people used a JA0Wait) -

Isn't there a tactic using archers out there to defeat Ifrit? I swore I heard one. Anyway, really any class can be in that fight as long as they know what to do. Archers can stay at the distance lancers do and work the same way to avoid all of Ifrit's ridiculousness. I'm sure bloodletter would be welcomed and their larger mp pools to raise or heal other melee that may need it is an added benefit as well.

It's less of a sore in the eyes if the numbers are low when you want to make calculations. -
