Ifrit Hard Mode Patch?

[ispano]

There have been a bunch of times i've run this in the past few days, where right before the "get under his butt" plumes, eruptions covering the spot where you have to go and either not being stunned or not able to be stunned. So many wipes have been caused by this lately. Doesn't matter if you can avoid them, if they are placed bad, you won't make it to the spot in time or eat too many eruptions to survive.

This is a player issue. Like Titan, Ifrit has a pretty set rotation. Before those set of plumes, people can be on the outer edge, ready for eruptions. They they rotate on the outside circle til they finish and then run in. Stun is most certainly not needed.

I've pugged Ifrit so many times that tanks not interrupting was common. Dodging the eruptions isn't difficult, and even if you do get hit by one, it's not going to kill you. HM Ifrit is a joke without interrupts and an even bigger joke with them.

Honestly, if this was about anything but Ifrit, maybe I'd be a little more sympathetic but not being able to interrupt him is hardly worth complaining about.

Paladin stun goes 6-3-1-nothing, until you don't stun for about a min or so then it resets.

I had so many issues and frustrations with this right as the patch came out. Lol a lot of the other party members would put the blame on me even thou I knew I was hitting every eruption and it kept popping up resist. I was surprised I never got kicked for the false blame. I did realize majority of the time your able to stun 3 eruptions then it will generally be 3 stun resist. But sometimes this is not the case, there were a few times I also had it only stunning 2 times and resist 3+ after which was frustrating being the ot.

It counts ANY stun. It's not linked to the ability you use. Meaning any 3 stuns, from any player/class/job will trigger it.

its a rightful change to a mechanic that was OP in PvE (idk/c about the pvp). I think they even reduced his eruption damage a little to make up for it though

[Arkista]

Ya I've done 2 relics since the patch and Ifrit is now even harder than he was pre 2.1 its pretty stupid. Why Reduce the damage from eruption but up the resist rate? I could see if the ilvl was high enough to where players have to be geared but people can enter with AF/AK gear and it makes it harder.

[ispano]

They didn't buff his resist rate, they fixed the timer for Diminishing returns. ie it's how it was supposed to be now.

The only issue I have with the stun resist change is Chimera. The damage Ram's Voice is still pretty insane and the majority of people trying that fight are really undergeared. Not to mention the huge amount of people who constantly tell the PLD to stun it all the time... (there was also a PLD telling the 2 BLM to cycle silences, but let's not go there...).

The change makes complete sense. I shouldn't be able to completely shut down every Ifrit Eruption, especially when it's extremely easy to dodge. Hell, Ifrit EX Eruptions are easy to avoid. Run out before it explodes and then run back and repeat until all the eruptions are done. There isn't even a need to run around and endanger anyone.Can even run in a smallish triangle.

Seriously, Eruption shouldn't even have needed to be interrupted in the first place.

Wow, all you guys worried about this woulda had a hard time in 1.0 ifrit lol. 0 stuns, many eruptions for you to dodge.
