also animation lock was here from the beginning, but the beginning was with the old dev team, this is Yosh-P if he wants to change it let him, because in the end we agreed to it, at least the majority did.
There are other proven strategies for beating Ifrit with arcs. (My FIRST Ifrit win was as an arc) not my problem if you are too "leet" to try them. Second, Arc are only "useless" because we have nothing but damage to offer, damage that was heavily nerfed by player request, and will likely be fixed when they release jobs, and arc gets something else they can offer. Third, if Yoshi-p was going to remove animation lock on arc, he would have done it along with the other DoW. As for my "panties in a bunch" checked yours lately?
