    Ifrit drops down into linebacker stance = Eruption = MOVE OUT
    Ifrit raises his right arm in the air = Plume = MOVE IN
    Ifrit uses "WS red animation" = Incinerate or Burst = DONT DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT
    Ifrit jumps = Cyclone = MOVE TO THE TANK
    Ifrit glows red = the start of Sear = MAX AA RANGE

    this isn't rocket surgery people
    you also gotta realize that for melee and mage, where u look for (signs) whether is actions or log may be diff. As a mage i react way faster with log than with actions cause my eyes are more centered on the tanks HP + ground, as opposed to watching ifrits body + ground unlike the melee.

    it was written for Ren, who is not doing this fight as a DoM but as a LNC. Everyone has their own style of play and if it works for you then it works for you. I try and make everything as efficient as possible i.e. instead of watching raid frames and the ground and being tunnel visioned I'll put HP Bars on everyone and make sure I have a view of the entire battlefield.

    i was speaking in general since Ren looked like he was gathering data not only for himself but for his/her group

    Absolutely correct. The more data we accumulate to share with our party members, the better our chances.
