I don't think no one noticed this but....

Ifrit imo was made to make people plan there moves, not nonstop WS. he only has like 50k hp which if everyone is doing aound 8-10k damage wont take more then 7-10 mins to beat, If you could attack faster it would only be like a 3 min fight every time.

There is plenty of tie for long animation skill in ifrit.

Either way you look at this Syn doesn't mean it's NOT broken. lol Sure, 90% or more of us have learned how to beat Ifrit. But just because we CAN doesn't mean the way we do it is correct. This isn't a 'feature' and it's NOT 'working as intended' it's broke and as I said before, SE knows it's broke so regardless of how it should be done now and what most of the population does to win Ifrit, it's still broke dude.

I like this PLD WS. It looks cool to me how he flipped the sword with his wrist and catches it before the back hand stab. Very cool and stylish in my book.



BTW WS like Requiescat etc = Over exaggerated. I tend to dislike over exaggerated stuff. thats my opinion so deal with it :P

This...kind of like something a real swordsman would do lol, but I guess it's not flashy or "FANTASY ENOUGH" for some >.>;

That's what I don't get about most of the people on here's opinion of this weapon skill. Because this game's graphics are so amazing and real, it can make legitimate weapon skills that still look crazy even though they fit the realism the game has while still squeezing in some pizzazz. (See: Simian Thrash, Doomspike II, Arrow Helix, Rage of Halone)

Most of the tacky tricks other lower-quality (graphically) MMOs use to make the game look better wouldn't work here. I'm also kind of surprised how much the forums flips back and forth on certain topics. First there's a general (although well deserved) disappointment in the blandness of current skills/weapons/etc. The forum cries for more "fantasy feel". A flood of nerdrage threads emerge about how <insert various negative adjectives> the Ifrit weapons were. Then it happened again with the moogle weapons. New weapon skills come out? Oh wait, they aren't flashy enough. Too bad the "flashy enough" line is so thin we'll never see it. lol

Personally, I'm really excited to see it with particle effects, I'm excited =D. What I'm not excited about is only being able to use it once in a blue moon because blocking proc rate is garbage. When I do miraculously block (usually only thanks to Aegis Boon), War Drum is up. Phalanx, my favorite skill, depressingly sits unused on the end of the action bar... likely never to see a Spirits Within combo in any real fight.

Come on guys....
Do you REALLY wanna get stuck in animation lock for some stupid flashy move? REALLY?

I think not.

No..but I want to be able to do my stupid flashy move and move around at the same time. Like Dante in DMC. inb4 compares to other vidya games lol. I've played plenty of other "MMO" that allow me to do WS and move around at the same time. and these are OLD MMO! That is why I keep saying..I wish SE keep up with the times! There is so much cool stuff out there they can add but idk..
