    Sounds easier than the Naxx dance if there's only fire! I'll have to check it out once I hit 50.

    lol......I will.

    I got a lot of catching up to do. Been with the game a bit less than a year but crap was boring so I chose not to play.

    There should be a masochist achievement for people who have more than 3 50s before the patch xD

    ...shiiiit lol, 150? ;\ That is a little daunting number, I knew my group hasn't done as many attempts as you guys, but damn, we haven't even reached 1/3 that number ((( Going to be a long week....

    Or you could be better and get it done sooner? You won't magically get it at 150.

    Congrats to you guys!

    But i'm curious about something.
    Is LNC better than ARC now or something? I see you used a lot of LNC lol.
    It's been almost 2 months since i played, so i dunno if there were changes made to it.

    I'm aware of that, but just trying to put some things into perspective with number comparisons. I'm sure BG was at the point where we are at for the longest time with most of their attempts trying to finish rather then getting to P4.

    Which I can completely believe, because P4 right now is proving to be a bit of a challenge and a wall, we come so close, but end up just shy of the victory.

    Defeating Ifrit in under 10 minutes grants the achievement:

    We personally hit a wall with the phase 4 -> phase 5 transition. The bulk of our attempts were spent getting that transition, and then phase 5 itself, down. I think Rich is working on something to accompany the eventual video (we're not going to rush Peng on uploading the first kill, since we destroyed his sleep schedule this past week), but basically you have 60 seconds in phase 4 to figure out how you're going to survive phase 5.

    A lot of linkshells probably will kill it well before our ~150 attempt count once we release the how-to guide. Tons of things became clear after so many attempts.

    This encounter is by far one of the hardest I've ever done in any MMO period. I can only think of maybe 1-2 WoW bosses that took anywhere even remotely near the number of attempts to bring down. A large part of this is due to how the game is designed (animation lock) but that's just the way the game is so really you cannot blame it, and there is a way to get around and minimize the lock.
