Stunbot is NOT fun

[Abbycat]

People need to stop this bullshit.
I have killed Ifrit many times with party where there was no PLD and no BLM/SMN. It requires a bit more attention and a little bit more skill but it is not that hard at all. With a PLD and a BLM/SMN, this fight is brain dead easy, without them there's actually a bit of challenge, what's the problem with that ?

You don't even have to do anything wrong while on stun duty.
All it needs is some stupid dps that spams their stun too and triggers DR.

This is the thing that kills me, there are far too many people that just assume when an eruption goes off that it's the PLD on stun duty's fault. Even if the dps know not to use their stun, there's still a chance for an eruption to go off with only one person that's just focusing on stuns.

I don't mind the fight necessarily, I just really hate the childish people that call others out when something goes wrong during the fight. It's one thing to tell them what they did wrong, but it's not necessary to try and make them feel bad.

Yay! You mean I don't have to tank with my paladin!?! I can just stun-bot?! Great! Thanks, this is much more my style.

What are you saying ?

The problem with the ifriti fight is that you have to run so god damn many times. I am sick and tired of running it for a weapon that i never seen drop to just stun every time....... it is the most boring fight i have even been forced to do and if you want the weapon you are forced to do it.

Your not forced to do it, you don't need the weapon you want the weapon, the level 50 GC weapon is only 1 or 2 points behind the Ifrit weapon so it is not needed. I completely understand the grind on this fight its an ascetic weapon getting it is actually an accomplishment because of the low drop rate and having to roll against others, my biggest complaint is that it should not drop weapons for classes that are not in the party because at that point nobody wins.

I am so sick and tired of shoving my shield up Ifrit's ass its ridiculous... 22 runs and 0 pld swords. I have seen at least two of every class drop already. SMN and SCH books are dropping like freaking candy.

I do have to say though, i would much rather stunbot and have about an 85% success rate with pugs then to put the fight into someone else's hands for a different mechanic. Of the few runs that did fail it was either due to pugs not getting out of things like charge or there was no BLK/SMN to aoe the nails and the ST dps just sucked.

I still have to gear the rest of my FC when they start going through this. So even when i do get my sword ill be shoving me shield up Ifrit's ass for the next two weeks regardless.

60 plus runs and have NEVER seen the thing drop, i would love to know the number system they have, as you said i see more blk/smn, monk, scholar drop more then anything. I think something is broken.

Correct me if I'm wrong; Diminishing Returns is not a hard "stun x number of times within x number of seconds and it will be resisted" but rather a "for every time you stun the % chance of resist goes up" right?

When I first started running Ifrit HM I got raged at for missing interrupts but I swear at least a few of my "misses" were resists. Stun would go on CD and while it was hard to see through all the spell effects I remember seeing the "fully resisted" prompt.

Im with you on this one, People relay on a Pld to stun the eruption so they wont have to move. The best part if Ifrit casts it to often you get DR and they blame you.
