Well tbh we are mostly stuck in having everyone live the Hellfire transition point (we can get 4th nail down to 35% before Hellfire... so a little more DPS and we can avoid it all together right?)

Ppl missing Sentinel and such has messed up any real serious attempts at the end of the fight.

This is... untrue.

1.18 gear: Blindside + RS2 + Fer2 = 670-700 top end Doomspikes, ~350 low end (2000%-2500% no buffs)
1.19 gear 0 materia: Same buffs = 760 top end Doomspikes, ~375 low end
1.19 Materia gear (50 atk, 9 str, 9 dex) = 870 top end Doomspikes, ~450 low end.

1 attack is roughly giving 2 damage on doomspikes average, if the materia you socket on body gives +ATK to crits instead of crit rate (don't know... don't have one yet), and you dual socket ATK to gloves, weapon, and dual socket that +Crit Attack to chest you'll be seeing top end Doomspikes of 1100 damage, which is nearly double what a 1.18 geared LNC can do and 1.5x what you do with no materia socketed.


What attack doesn't seem to be affecting is normal hits on Ifrit. Murderous Intent seems to be the best way of increasing damage done during that time, too bad it has a long CD.
