The slightly slower run was a lot cleaner, and instance timer time on astral differs by ~40sec. I really need to level up other jobs as well, LNC is my only 50 ^^

Does the parser start it's parse time based off first hit or timer on the instance? I know we have to engage quicker and probably stop screwing around with Collusions, I think the tank first aggro'd @ 29:33.

Parser times are unreliable because they can only see the time every 60 lines when a new log file is written, meaning there's a somewhat random amount of delay at the beginning and the end.

From personally watching the timing in the fight and checking the time on the parser the times listed on my parses are generally only a few seconds off at max, i also use a /echo . macro when ifrit dies to force an update which makes the timing more accurate.

And the parser is started just before the first auto attack hits the boss so yeah we would have started the fight around 29:35ish on the timer making our best with 4 lancers 5minutes 7 seconds or so, we also buff inside the bowl of embers most of the time mainly due to lazyness and force of habit.

As for the front Ifrit's horns can be incapped but you need to hit him from the front. hey were using their buffs even when they didn't have TP to get the maximum number of uses out of it throughout the battle. The sooner you use it the sooner recast will be up.

this!
these are tactics i had to adopt to survive in solo battle as well post 1.19

Echo solution is pretty decent, but the extra hassle sucks. I can't wait until we get addon support and don't have to access and parse the logs like this.

I haven't seen a memory-reading parser yet, can you point me in the right direction?

Don't really see why its crappy, the timing of the fight is usually accurate enough if done correctly and this has been proven by checking the parsers time to the actual fight length using fraps and the timer counter.

And damage done/taken is also perfectly accurate and has been proven by watching combat logs through fraps and tallying up the damage than comparing it to the parse.

It may not be the best way to do it but it works well and has helped me and several players in my LS improve our damage by alot and helped find the best way to do maximum damage during the fight.

I am interested in seeing parses from other LS's if people have found a better dps rotation on him but so far our highest has been 29.18 dps and we are pretty sure you can hit 33 dps if done perfectly and a little luck from full thrust.

Edit: Also the damage numbers on that parse only show damage done to ifrit and not to the nail aswell, you can easily do an extra 1k onto the nail with a fully buffed doomspike + auto's which means if you count nail damage aswell a lancer should be able to hit 36-37 dps, we don't count nail damage simply because aoe inflates damage a bit too much.

Peng may be British, but he has a piece of my heart.

nevermind~

This video made me smile.

Besaid was designated the role playing server by the gaming community wasn't it? It just puts a smile on my face when people enjoy the game and do silly things.

And the comments on YouTube FTW!!! Seriously, people don't know the up and down arrows let you move between your 3 action bars. O.o. Shudders...

This a joke or something? Most of us have been doing it within this time for awhile now.
