Ifrit Fight: Lag Issues Preventing The Average Player From Completing It.

[Treach]

Worst statement about this fight you can make.

Beating Ifrit is all about doing nothing. Yes thats right.

When he is about to use a weaponskill, everyone besides the tank, must sit there and do nothing. This allows you enough time to react to anything he does and avoid it. Then you can use a WS/Buffs/Other stuff until Ifrit has his timer up to use a WS again.

Phase 2: Timer is 15s
Phase 3: Timer is 10s
Phase 4: Timer is 15s
Phase 5: Timer is 5s

(well I might be off but Phase 5 you don't even have enough time to buff + WS before you must wait... 3 buffs is all I'd attempt to lock myself before watching for Ifrit or 1 WS no buffs)

Also to note, breath and explosion can be used immediately after Voids / Plume but the next WS after them will follow this pattern.


Ifrit fight, again, is not luck. Its about doing nothing.

Standing on rocks doing nothing and waiting, all it is. Oh, and standing outside of sear range with mrd or lnc, but not for pug lol.

Yeah, it's just doing something different than the normal FFXIV up to now. I think people having trouble with the fight are merely having trouble adjusting to doing something different than "MAX DPS ALL THE TIME".

@Blair: Doesn't seem to do anything. We average 1 weapon per 8 people it seems. We've had 3 times with 0 drops, 1 time with 3, 2-3 times with 2, and most with 1.
