Ifrit Archer positioning tips.

[Seyra]

They are happy to share their experience. Winning or losing isn't what's important. We can discuss about this strategy, say what we think is good or what they do wrong. This thread is far more interesting than all the complaints ones because it's constructive. Not just a rage cry one minute after the patch release saying everything is wrong without testing further.

My Linkshell tried with Archer too this week-end.

So Quick Nock without buffs was better than Chaos Thrust with buffs. First problem, it's 3 minutes recast against 1.33 minute for Chaos Thrust so it's mandatory to use it with Keen Flurry.
We were sticking with the other DD's, move a bit back to start combo then return near the DD's to lauch Quick Nock.
Second problem, Light Shot animation lock needs more timing.

I'm sure it's worth using Archer but we need to try again because it takes time to get used to another class playstyle on Ifrit runs. But once I master it I'm 100% sure it's really a good DD for this. Only tried once then switched back to Lancers. Took a few runs to relearn everything and time combos then it went all wins again.

EDIT: By the way, Raging Strike + Blood for Blood + Barrage is an extra Quick Nock while waiting for recast.
