TIL Ifrit's Infernal Howl is Line of Sight

[Ehayte]

I think SE might agree that it is an exploit, but the funny thing is that this "exploit" has been removed from other dungeons. Haukke NM comes to mind, you used to be able to run through almost all the damage from the main boss as a tank, and they changed it so that LoS wasn't affecting mob spell success.

They left it in-tact in WP though, you can run through the fire spells of the 2nd boss.

Now that I'm talking through it I feel like it may have been intentional, as it would have to have been an oversight if it wasn't.

That's like saying it's an exploit for tanks to run through slip stream on Garuda to avoid it. . .

Another great example of the somewhat inconsistent stance on this.

But who knows, they might ninja patch it. . .

I think that's unfair - Yoshi posted a week ago or so that the only time they do not let the player-base know what's going to happen ahead of time is when the changes might affect current play with lasting consequences (i.e. changing the buy-back price on vendors). I don't mean to White Knight but you gotta give credit to the dev/PR team where credit is due.
