Ifrit EX and future content

[Taei]

This is the problem with DPS mentality nowadays, the concept of restraining yourself for strategic reasons is a foreign concept to them.

No, it's not a mentality issue. There are certain fights that yes you should restrain you DPS. But for this particular instance, Ifrit SHOULD NOT ENRAGE just because you are doing damage to him + the nails at the same time.

To restrain dps in this manner really ruins the game and it ruins it for people that are trying maximize their gameplay and skill. Basically what you are suggesting is that we should all just do mediocre damage and not try to strive for better gameplay and skills then by simply putting in a mechanic that disallows this. (a seemingly broken mechanic IMO). LOOK AT THE FIGHT, ITS NOT FOR STRATEGIC REASONS LOL.

See this is the problem, for you maximizing skill as a DPS is doing max amount of damage, so obviously a mechanic that prevents you from doing it is considered a broken mechanic.

I disagree. For me maximizing skill as a DPS is doing max amount of damage without killing the party.
