So running HM Ifrit as a pally is pretty much downright painful and makes me want to quit and /wrist

Done around 25 runs now and around 80% of the runs I basically sit there with auto-attack on and hit stun. Basically do not even use any abilities.

Oh and a great way to make ppl quit pretty fast is the stupid ass RNG. Seen my wep drop once and guess what it was one of the few that there was another pally in there and lost the roll.

Oh boo hoo, I have to fill a specific role in a fight. Oh boo hoo I didn't get a drop. Is this your first MMORPG?

Join a FC and stop whining. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Ifrit fight nor the rate at which weapons drop from it.

Wrong. Doing 30 runs and getting nothing is not good game design, and it's certainly not right. They had the other half of a good system in 1.0, which was the token system. You do 30 runs, but got no drop./ That's okay. You got currency to reward you for your time spent, unlike the crap deal we have now. MMO companies always use stupid methods to inflate content, and it always ends badly.

You are misremembering this so bad... SO BAD.
In 1.23 you did 80 runs and got nothing, at about 200 runs you'd have perhaps 2 tokens, at best (out of 10 nescessary).

At least here you both both philosophy and mythology tomestones for defeating primals. Given those are 20~ minutes fight at best (and you can time it down to what, 10m) that's not very bad for the numbers they give.

So the RNG is bad because YOUUUUU did not win the roll?MMMMKKKKAAAYYY

[Vladislav]

You given responsebility to save ur party members from death , it not allways must be fun

Actually, 'boring' is about the worst thing a game could be in the history of ever. They could tweak something to fix that. Maybe give paladins that power off the gcd so they can be doing stuff other than standing there waiting to click one button. Quality of life changes matter.

This. The fact I sit there almost the entire time with just auto-attack waiting to push 1 button again and again and again and again is what ticks me off.

Ifrits attacks come in a predictively order and if you have done the fight as often as you have said you would of seen a pattern granted waiting for the 1 st one is a bit annoying but after that you can pretty much predict them for example when Ifrit starts doing his two plumes pre nail he will go like this plume eurruption plume you can almost always get a full rotation in after an explosion. Or here is another idea play the roll of debuffer while you are waiting for eurruptions keep blind up, keep str down up (assuming the other tank is a warrior) or you could throw out little heals here and there or stoneskins if you have conj leveled there are lots of things you can do to keep your self occupied/ entertained. There have been times when I had to let a fresh 50 mt Ifrit and I do the interrupts . It's a crucial part of the start for df stratagey you are there to make sure peps don't take unnessary damage.

I've got both PLD and WAR to 50. Currently doing Ifrit with PLD and stun botting.

Giving PLDs off GCD stun would be ridiculously OP! Considering warriors have a 30 second cool down with a ridiculously long animation!

This is just one fight where you need to do nothing but stun. At least after that a PLD is preferred. It's been a nightmare with WAR even though after every dungeon I get a "ohh WARs are actually pretty good tanks!"
