Ifirt Eruptions and Diminishing returns

Did they change the way stun DR works?

My guild did Ifrit HM last night, and it seemed that I could stun the first 3 eruptions and then the next 2 I could not stun. I remember i could usually get all of them reliably when I did it previously. We tried it with the other pally tank, and it was the same for him.

any ideas? I didnt see anything regarding this in the patch notes, although it may be buried somewhere.

they changed the resistance mechanic a bit, was written somehow somewhere in the nodes

Someone else was stunning.

Did you have a Dragoon in your group?

As an aside, you do occasionally have to put up with one resist per run but its rare.

Status affliction resistances will now begin counting after the last corresponding status affliction is received.
From patch notes.

Eruptions have also been nerfed a little as they now do less damage according to patch notes.

It could also be a SCH pet. I was off tanking Ifrit and a SCH in the group said that Selene could silence Ifrit.

...so did everyone miss this?

Resistance timers used to start after the FIRST skill was applied in the series. Before, this meant that you could space them out enough to never get the resistance. If the timer starts after the LAST status affliction, then you're going to have issues.

BEFORE:
3 stuns within 1 min = resistance.
1st stun: timer starts
2nd stun
3rd stun: if still within the 1 minute timer, all corresponding stuns would be resisted until the minute timer is up.

NOW:
3 stuns within one minute STARTs the timer.
1st stun
2nd stun
3rd stun: 1 minute resistance timer starts.



This is how it should have been from the beginning as it makes more sense. You can't rely on a stun bot anymore...you'l actually have to dodge mechanics now (eruptions are so easy to dodge), or choose wisely about what you actually DO stun (you really only need to stun the eruptions past nail phase).

Someone pls correct me if any of the info I posted is inaccurate.

I'm still like 99% sure Silences do not affect stun DR.

SO basically, if we want to avoid being resistant at all, before patch we can stun 3 times in 1 minute, now we can only stun 2 times?
Wander if this will slow the LB charge for ifrit HM.

It does and it makes it really hard for a random duty finder group to do this fight now.
