Drop Fracture.

Stop thinking in terms of rotations for MNK. You're simply alternating between 2 core combos with proper substitution of Demolish and injection of ToD when applicable.

better off Droping facture and ToD at the begining in favor of getting Gl3 faster. the longer you take to reach GL3 the more DPS u lose. getting Gl3 should be your first prioirty.

Btw what do you experienced monks do in Ifrit EX during the plume phase (after nails, before dashes) and how do you open at the start of the second and third phase when the chain eruptions start soon after Ifrit lands?

The plume phase seems so short that prioritising GL3 seems a waste since it'd drop during the dashes anyway. Does he still take dot damage during dashes? And what would be the best skill sequence after that, just before the first chain eruptions? If unlucky during eruptions I may end up dropping my combo and GL - usually not, because Shoulder Tackle ♥, but unlucky timing happens.

During Plume phase you should just do standard from scratch rotations unless it's the final plume phase and DPS is high enough that you'll kill him before race cars. Ignore ToD here completely.

He does not take DoT damage during race cars. Checking the battle logs, looking at his HP bar, he doesn't take any damage. Tonight in a sell we took him down between 1 and 0% before race cars, with DoTs on him, and sure enough we had to wait until he came back for him to die.

Once Ifrit comes back, either PB if you have it or regular rotations. You have time to ToD with PB, but without, you must ignore it until you come back.

Thanks for the tips Sleigh! I'll just focus on high-potency attacks during the plume bit then and ignore dots.

If you (the DPS) stand shoulder-to-shoulder before Eruptions, you can easily spot who has been marked. If it's not you, dodge to the side of Ifrit instead of doing the about-face retreat.

If done correctly, you'll screw up Ifrit's script through excessive DPS, forcing him to Hellfire before he spawns the nails. Everyone will proceed to yell at you.

[Remn]

had that happen to me, we were on P3 nail, 30 sec in Iffit does hellfire and wipe the group....LOL. I think our SMN and blm keep the DoT on him

[Sleigh]

Well ... one time we pushed Ifrit right after all the nails in the final phase were destroyed, then after he jumped up and came back down, he respawned the entire final nail phase again. That was trippy.

Ring and Cuirass dropped tonight - finally!

MNK BiS complete.
