Stunning Ifrit Hard Mode

[Kamek]

If you have DRGs using Spineshatter dive, it causes stun DR.

ill keep an eye out for that. thanks.

i was also wondering if perhaps the accuracy stat might have something to do with it. can shield bash miss? i have 395 accuracy. but how do i know if thats enough?

So it all comes down to this, its nothing fancy really.

If the stun says "Fully resisted" - Someone failed and put him on Dimishing returns.
If the stun says "+Stun", and he finishes the cast anyway - You didnt cast it fast enough.

This can be due to delay (which we have no way of seeing what our acutall delay to the server is, but my guess is that its quite high. Seeing as you sometimes get hit so damn far away from aoes its ridiculus.

My tip? Make certain you land the stun before more than half his cast is done, other wise its proned to not get registred by the server in time.


Been doing Ifrit bout 20-22 times, and ive had around 10 perfect stun-runs out of those, if im not 100% concentrated and instantly stun him when he cast, it will not register even tho it says "+Stun" well before the cast is finished (on my client, but not neccessarily on the server side.)


Well i hope this helps, and yes i finally got my weapon! \o/

*Edit: Worth noting is that if you're playing on the european servers. Well you are fucked. Because the European servers arent actually located in Europe. They are located in NA.

Not true. If you stun perfectly, boss will be immune to one around 66%. You might not notice it because eruption doesn't do a ton of dmg yet, but since every spell he casts at the beginning of the fight is erruption, the boss will go immune once.

[Armleg]

Not true tho, cause it depends on how quickly you push him into the next phase, the eruption is time based at the start, enough dmg onto him and you wont have that immunity.

If you in the later stages get plume - eruption - plume, youve got bad dps. If you get Plume - Plume - eruption, you are on track, and ive seen em both

From what ive heard and can tell, in a full party you have 100% hit chance with all your abilities. Atleast ive never seen em miss in neither 4man or 8man dungeons. So im calling the rumor correct.

Is this something that's now confirmed, with any sources? A Dragoon friend of mine said she was ignoring Accuracy because she'd never seen a single ability miss, yet it feels like a lot of mine miss as a tank... I may just be considering solo though. If that rumour is true... does that mean that Accuracy is a totally useless stat for anything outside of solo play?
