As an offtank (which only happens in duty finder as this can be solo tanked), PLD's are on stun duty. No one but the paladin should be stunning. The times that DPS "helped" with stuns it generally lead to more deaths, as I can generally shout out to the party which eruptions will go through or not.

I won't just say to "just dodge" eruptions as I've never played the fight as a dps or healer, but I will say that it's easier to manage if you count how many stuns have gone through (you'll hear the LB bar chime) and prepare to dodge after three stuns. Dodge two eruptions and continue to carry on.


Note: this is just what I observed from a week of farming Ifrit HM
So, roughly, three stuns will work followed by two that miss? That's really useful to know. Have all my likes.
