Ifrit Strategy?

[Felis]

Hmm, we tank him where we players spawns.

[Fear]

Why?......

Heya!

Here is a guide on how to tank Ifrit where he spawns, plus many tricks on how to avoid his skills and whatnot:
Owning Ifrit 1.2
Hope it helps, and forgive me about the crappy English!

See ya!

Also, something a lot of guides don't put in but I should warn you about (speaking from experience):

When Ifrit uses Hellfire, assuming you survive, he will start to walk back to you (assuming you still have enmity.) If you're still standing in the spot you were originally tanking him, his pathing will be messed up and he'll move to your left, causing positioning to be off.

When Ifrit jumps to use Hellfire, after you pop sentinel, move a little bit to your right. This will correct his pathing and when he approaches you, he'll move back into proper position. Then all you need to do is move directly in front of him again and continue tanking.
