1. Many classes stuck in overly long WS animations that make it too hard or near impossible to get out of range of Ifrits abilities.
2. Server Lag issues which are causing a large chunk of the issues. One moment I will be directly in line with Ifrits shoulder dash and take 0 damage, or right in the center of a lava pool and take 0 damage or right in the middle of a triple crack explosion and take 0 damage. Other times I will be several body lengths out of range of all these abilities and get hit. This needs to be addressed.
3. LNC becoming the default DD of choice. Congratulations on making the Darkhold mistake for the second time SE. /Golfclap. While it may be less of an issue for me because I have a LNC at 50 there are those who dont and have Archer, Pug and MRD are feeling left out. Yes there are parties that are not only trying it with this setup but those are much fewer than you would like to think. Once you add in Issues 1 & 2 into the mix I can't blame people for just wanting the lancer setup, at least it gives you fair odds when your dealing with lag that should have been fixed a year ago and all the damn animation locks.
4. Sentinel. Ahh yes now we have groups requiring people have Sentinel, fun times. Why work on figuring out how to take take multiple spikes out when we can just use Sentinel? What you don't have Sentinel? LOLZ GOODBYE N00B! (No one should have to feel the need to level a class for a single ability for one battle, its sours people on GLA in general)
I am sure there will be plenty of Find a good end game linkshell comments... Join like minded people! Blah blah friggin blah. Even people who are your friends and in the same linkshell will eventually fall into this routine, not because they are bad people, but because after awhile being screwed over for the umpteeth time over stuff that should not be causing an issue is frustrating.
The community should not have to adjust their playing to poorly implemented battle routines and bad optimization. The devs need to spend their time fixing this asap. Fix the problem, no community band-aid solutions.
You're very clueless.
The Ifrit Fight is Dangerous to the Community.

That is not SE's fault, it is yours. We have non-Lancers join the party all the time and they are fine because they take the time to learn how to fight as a close ranged melee. Only thing SE should be responsible for is giving less incentive to make cookie cutters. Ultimately however, it is our fault. Blame other people for not keeping an open mind.Quote:

In my personal opinion, everyone should have Sentinel for all situations. It is one of the most useful abilities in the game. I said it in a earlier post and I will say it again, this is a game where you are heavily influenced to explore other classes, a kind of "deal with it" kind of situation. Who knows how this concept will be 1.20 and beyond, but for now, that is how it works. Also, you can survive without Sentinel if you gear yourself right and keep yourself healed before Hellfire. Again, not SE's fault, the community's fault.Quote:

So easy to blame the Dev's on everything. Only thing they can do is make less incentive for cookie cutter parties, but it is "you" and everyone else who makes the call. SE is not denying you anything, every fight and event in this game can be accomplished by a normal, diverse party group. It is the community's fault they don't explore beyond cookie cutter.Quote:

I don't like cookie cutter parties as much as the next person, but that is how it is for now. -
