this is a good point you have here, i would suggest that they make this AoE a cone effect, PGL has to be right beside ifrit so is a natural thing ending dead or healing more than attacking, i think they should change that, more like the ogre with the elbow drop, you dont have any problem being near him but you have to evade a few time his ws.

i hope the dev team takes this type of suggestion to improve the battles for all classes.
