[NA] Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It (Hyper): COMPLETE

[EmeraldHill]

The spiritbond grind is neverending because it's a dice roll. You can't get good roll Tier IV's of everything you need for everyone in 1 day. You have to bond over and over and over again amassing huge piles of junk materia to get to what you want.

What are the standards here though? Decent materia or over-kill materia?

you must be new here.

It was 5 days, 20 hours a day spread over roughly 150 attempts. Yes the skill requirement on the first major boss is this high and yes materia farming is required and No what people were talking about was a damage parser to compare dps.

We're all new here. =D

HP/MP materia are important for the fight and our core kill group wasn't even fully slotted. You will not win on materia alone because the fight has a high skill ceiling. It is get out of the fire, get correct positioning and dps balls to the wall 24/7 or you will lose. A single death means curtains on any attempt pre 10%. If it's a healer the group will sponge up MP. If it's a DPS Ifrit's auto-regen will negate dps progression. Snowball effect at it's finest.

Sounds easier than the Naxx dance if there's only fire! I'll have to check it out once I hit 50.

lol......I will.

I got a lot of catching up to do. Been with the game a bit less than a year but crap was boring so I chose not to play.

There should be a masochist achievement for people who have more than 3 50s before the patch xD
