TIL Ifrit's Infernal Howl is Line of Sight

[AdvancedWind]

To be honest I really hope this doesn't catch on as the prefered way of doing the fight (just as solo heal Garuda already kinda became the norm for farms). It's already a pain to get into Garuda EX farm groups because I never tried solo heal (and no one wants to be the first group where I try it, hah), and this solo heal strat sounds like a recipe for disaster (failing to do it properly = almost sure wipe). And it's not like there's a distinct advantage to adding another DPS due to the enrage, and most groups already just go full ranged to null howl anyways. >:

Give it a try, it's easy. I made like 3 other healers give it go and they ended up doing it in 1-3 tries.

No it's not. It's easy to get swiped by ifrit in the process as well, and if you screw up it's wipe. And you can't do it 100% as certain times you can't do it, such as plume stage, which you have to get seared anyway. So it becomes as scripted as regular ifrit ex.

Basically it's even harder then sear normal on the healer with no really change in output.

It all comes down to phase 3 in the end. Reaching phase 1 and 2 with or without sear is easy. If you can't do with 100% effectiveness in phase 3, screw it. You're just going to wipe and waste 10minutes of everyone's time. No different from regular searing winds.

It's something to attempt in a last ditch move, but the risk is pretty high as of current set up.

Eh, give it a try, Garuda Exe is a joke, especially on SCH. A manually controlled Eos can easily heal alone any phase without the sisters. Just be sure to save Eye/Virus for sisters phase and to stay away from DPS (Garuda ranged attack only targets the healer, therefor if they stay away from you they'll never get hit) You can stay alone and away from DPS during tornado phase too, they'll never get hit.
