In any other fight any other DPS class could keep up and or rival our DPS, MRD has the highest hitting attack in the game Main but that doesn't change the fact that their attack range is shorter and they will take 300ish damage every few second in the Ifrit fight.
yes i know this i have seen the videos. so to the question why won't ppl take any class other than lancer. what do you think the solution will be? you can't increase the range of the other classes or reduce the range of lance, so one idea is. you can give arch back their multi shot and make their pierce moves work, and increase damage done by other dps classes. or another idea is make lancer less appealing by reducing the damage they do or increase there miss rate. also don't forget 1.20 is going to be the biggest rebalancing patch we have had yet. i think mages ar going to be the prefered choice for ifrit after 1.20 but that is just a thought

P.S. i'm sure i heard the dev's are looking into the problem with other classes not being invited to ifrit. i'm not blamig lancers or saying it your fault you can't blame ppl for using the best tool for the job. but i can see why SE would want to change this
