TIL Ifrit's Infernal Howl is Line of Sight

[Noahlimits]

I'm guessing you have never healed ifrit because I'm not sure why dodging infernal howl would make him any easier to solo heal? Cure III can be cast at a range. It makes no difference where the WHM is standing. The actual amount of healing required in the fight is what makes it difficult to solo heal.

I guess the fact that I have every EX weapon and am currently wearing the ifrit bangles on my lodestone means I've never beaten it. Nice assumption there. With no infernal howl you don't to rely on your DPS stacking so you can cure III from range during nail phases. It's also less damage to heal on yourself, or worrying about staying away from your party. If you don't understand why not having to deal with a damaging mechanic makes something easier, I'm not sure what to tell you. I'm not saying it's ground breaking, but it's something that allows you to bypass a mechanic that deals otherwise unavoidable damage. Why would that ever not help with solo healing or healing in general?

Being able to Medica I / II the group in solo heals during nails instead of having to repeatedly cast Cure III from range is much better on the MP as well since it's constant damage (from each nail breaking). That's not even accounting for if a SCH is solo healing it.

Billzey guessed you had never healed Ifrit, it's right there in the quote you posted. I have all primal weapons too but I sure never healed there.

You're just arguing semantics. Regardless, since it apparently isn't clear to you or Billzey; I earned every one of those EX weapons on my WHM class specifically.
