Ifrit Hard Mode Patch?

[KyteStones]

Did they patch Ifrit where the stuns dont work back to back? 5 groups so far in the DF and there are no stuns. Each PLD that comes in says there was a stealth patch. Someone confirm please? I'm working on my 4th relic and it's either all these groups are god awful, or something is wrong here.

Yes he resists stun more quickly now. I recommend stunning every other eruption.

[Abriael]

I can confirm this.

I fail to see the point in this "update" but thanks for the info.

This new change has made Ifrit hard somewhat challenging. Now you have to be able to avoid eruptions because not all can be interrupted. Before it was easymode where you could interrupt every single one.

[LiadansWhisper]

I was in a group for this a about a week ago, and our PLD was unable to stun the eruptions consistently, even though he was hitting the button. This makes me wonder.

[synaesthetic]

The point was to make Ifrit HM less faceroll easy (though honestly it's a bit too late for that now).

Oh, and it's still faceroll easy if you know how to use the W, A, S and D keys. GG Squee.

It's not specific to Ifrit. It's diminishing returns on status afflictions (like stun) in general. The timer for resistance reset starts with the last effect now, instead of the first one.

From the patch notes:

Status affliction resistances will now begin counting after the last corresponding status affliction is received.

From the patch notes:

Seems you and I are the only ones that actually read the patch notes, not just the new battles added

They didn't change ifrit, they changed the stun
