Bowl of Embers (Hyper) THANK YOU SE

[Jinko]

Making it this far and dieing so much has made me really think if these weapons are really worth it or not lol

Of course they aren't they will just be like any other NM drop used to display an epeen in Ul'dah.

Heh, probably ;\

Still, pretty amazing fight, such a refreshing thing to see come out of SE. It's a little sad though that no "regular player" is going to experience this fully. Its not super duper hard, but it's pretty tough. I'm sure though, after sometime when people are completely decked out in gear + materia it'll become that much easier. Though, they don't make a materia that makes your situational awareness increase, so....iunno

They are going to nerf this fight for sure soon, because like Keftenk said: no "regular" players will ever be able to accomplish it at it's current stage. In the very very very very low off chance that we don't manage to get that last 5~10% down before that happens we will all personally take embarrassing nude photos for the community.

I have a question richardd. I just did the rank 50 quest where you have to kill the NM to get the inferno lamp. Do i have to kill the NM before each attempt on level 50 ifrit?

It doesn't and you don't even need an inferno lamp aside from your first kill. I think patch notes says if you kill w.o lamp you just can't loot chest.

Unless his regen is insane in P4 (we don't live long enough to see really) the fight is beatable in its current state with pretty much a flawless execution.

P4 only increases the "area" of his skills, theres still room to be safe. P4 is just like P3 but with less room to manuever and you still need steady consistent DPS on ifrit to push him through regen to death.

If they ever nerf Ifrit in any manner, I hope its only that they remove his Regen and keep the rest of the fight the same.

the regen slows when you hit P3~P4. Also note that in P4 Eruption is larger/faster and it pops twice underneath 2 separate people. Plumes is larger but just as easy to avoid if you are within sear range of ifrit.

And yes the fight is definitely beatable in it's current state (obv) as we've been @ 5~10% numerous times. The execution has to be nothing but flawless indeed.

Doubtful. Yoshida said that his idea for endgame was to make the new content where only hardcores can beat it, then when the next patch hits nerf said content for regular/casuals, then replace that with another hard fight.

Either way, have you guys noticed a difference using Fire Resist Materia? Debating if I should use that for survival or just go nuts on offensive materia where I can put it.
