NA relic weapon

"But you wouldn't have wiped if latency problems didn't exist at all!"

So far we're getting stuck around 25-45% personally and yes it's purely because of latency issues!

(Realistically though, it's mostly because of animation lock with poor timing on the WHM's part because she starts panicking.)

Way to throw your WHM under the bus on a public forum!

Damn Ifirt Hard? I am owned sir...

lol

In fairness the occasional latency issue arises, if that is what it is. I have been hit by an eruption that was almost 3/4's of the way on the other side of the arena. In my experience, though, these are pretty isolated incidents. Most of the time I can avoid eruptions and don't need to clear them by hundreds of feet to escape.

It might be fair to blame the occasional death or even wipe on this but I think it's bogus to blame a lasting, eternal inability to beat it on latency issues. Groups good enough to beat it will beat it, they might just get trolled by phantom explosions once every 10 fights or so along the way.

Wait another week or two this topic will have more significance!

I'm sorry, but your statement is so full of crap.
There definitely is a difference in latency, but that difference isn't gonna make or break you really.
And if you don't get yours hits off in time it's your fault really, gotta have a feeling for when to stop too.

Ontopic:
So far on Gungnir only ALCA and I think Moonlight Dance beat it, no NA LS yet.
The only NA LS fighting Ifrit so far appears to be Blizzard..
13 Nails are kinda nasty, but I feel like we got that down pretty soon.
Other than that it's basicly easy, I'd be surprised if really no NA LS beat it yet :O

Another JP LS called "diluca" has them as well. Took this screenshot last Thursday. It could very well just be the Moonlight Dance group though since I've seen a couple of them hopping between the two LS, but I'm too lazy to look into it right now.

Its significance was clear before its creation to the higher intellects.

yet there were still many skills there that would have been evadable with just 200 ms less ping. Gaze attacks with really fast startups, for example.

Oh come on if you couldn't dodge gaze attacks in XI there is something wrong on your end. My situation in Canada may not be as bad as EU but it was childsplay to avoid unless you were caught in animation lock.

Blizzard LS on Gungnir just defeatd Ifrit (Extreme) a few hours ago. (7 NA 1 EU) We completed 8 relics (2 PLD, 2 WHM, BLM, DRG, WAR, BRD). Also have 4 more people on that stage (2 DRG, WHM, WAR) that we are rotating in now.

The fight is about knowing what & when Ifrit is going to do. Latency does not prevent you from winning this fight. If you are A) in the right position before he does a WS and B) do not get caught in animation lock when he does do that WS, then any reasonably skilled group should be able to avoid everything.

From that point it is taking down his horns ASAP or else get caught by some less avoidable WS's and having the DPS to burn through the nail phases. Practice makes perfect.
