[dev1080] Ifrit battle

[Teknoman]

They are completely changing all the combat skill efficiency, possibly how the skills function, equipment stats, as well as adding jobs...and i'm sure the ifrit battle will end up taking advantage of that...so the assumptions about archers and thaumaturge ruling are shaky at best.

I really doubt you'll see anyone trying to take on the Ifrit battle with the normal classes, unless they already have them to 50 and just want to test the waters (fires?) with the battle.

Not to mention the boss will probably have elemental weaknesses, so you'd want anything that could cast water/ice spells in the first place. Also just because there is an "easy" or a "widely used" way to do something, doesnt mean everyone will adhere to that.

Lots of people told me as a Blue Mage I wouldn't be able to participate in alot of fights. Guess what, we found a way (Thief included).
