I know Ifrit HM struggles are gonna make people 'lawl nub' but with the stun resistance building much faster now and the LB build nerf on unfortunately randomized DF parties, it's kinda hard now to do with the people gear range it's aimed for. =/ The LB nerf makes getting a LB3 that much harder and since the stun resistance builds faster, there are less successful stuns to jumpstart the gauge. You don't need LB3 sure, but when you've got people queuing in basic AF like was normally accepted, it's not a walk in the park.
