Stunbot is NOT fun

[ReiszRie]

You're not the first to say this, but I've yet to see anyone prove it. If you have a link to a video that shows yourself or some other PLD tanking HM Ifrit and interrupting him, pleas add it as I'm sure everyone would like to see it.

I don't doubt your claim, but the "stun bot" mechanic has been so prevalent since launch that I feel the only way to banish it from the current meta is to provide hard evidence disproving its necessity.

I could easily do so,

Phase 1 - Eruption after Dash, Eruption shortly after Vulcan
Phase 2 - Eruption after Radiant Plume (Exterior) Eruption after Radiant Plume (Interior) Eruption shortly after Infernal Nails spawns
Phase 3 - Eruption after Radiant Plume (Exterior) and (Interior) Eruption shortly after Radiant Plume (Entire Map)

Its rather simple once you've got the patterns down

I could easily do so

Read the post you quoted: I never say "It can't be done." In fact my exact wording is "I don't doubt your claim"

I am MTing and interrupting Ifrit the whole time, why waste another Tank spot in a premade group if I can take care of both...his pattern is super easy and all you have to do is hold off on your GCD abilities when you know Eruption is coming in the next 5seconds~

Phase 1 Eruption (first one) is easier to predict though if you see him using his flame breath and then the push back move. That's when he is gonna use Eruption for the very first time.
