stunbot lol

Am I the only one who bothered looking the OP up and noticing he was in full artifact armor trying to do HM Ifrit?

YES, YOU WILL BE ASKED TO STUNBOT IFRIT IF YOUR HP IS LOW.

It's really silly to have the 4.4k HP Paladin main tank Ifrit when the other Paladin has 5k, or 5.2k, or whatever. So yes, being in crap gear makes you the designated stunbot.

If you want to main tank Ifrit and not be asked to stunbot, be the better geared Paladin in the fight (assuming the MT is another Paladin, which happens to me all the time).

Run CM, run Prae, and get your green gear from AK. THEN bother with Ifrit.

Since when do you need more than AF to do HM Ifrit? AF is completely fine for Ifrit for all roles, just need to make sure your weapon is updated.

More like annoyed that they just give you large time-sinks and large RNG to mask the lack of content.

Face-rolling the same fight over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over (which I happen to have the worst and most LOL role I have ever seen in any game). At the very least 2 items should drop not 1. But then people would actually move on after the 1st 20 times instead of the 1st 40+ on average so it would expose their lack of content I guess.

Don't think so lightly of htiitng those stuns, because from my perspective at least that's one of the more crucial parts of the fight. I've done HM Ifrit with 2 warriors rotating that one stun, while I was MT as well and its not an experiance I would like to repeat. But even though its kind of repetative its still greatly appreciated by most.

My only complaint is the RNG.
It would make better sense if the item dropped would be an item of ANY class that is currently in the fight.

There's been numerous occasions where the weapon that dropped wasn't for any class in the party, that just feels like a waste of effort for 10 phylo and 4 myth.

People need to stop thinking primal weapons are the be all end all. Garuda wep can be helpful for Titan, but other than that, the 55 GC wep is good enough until relic.

at least you aren't a warrior

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.

Ifrit is a time sink? lol glhf in AK.

Wow, get over yourself.

Here's MY gear:

And I STILL gladly and happily play stunbot in HM Ifrit or Chimera fights when friends ask me for help. I have nothing to gain from the fight whatsoever and I still do my job.

Doing your job right is its own reward. Welcome to being a tank.

If you don't like it, may I suggest a DPS role?

I think it's more fail that people depend on stunning Ifrit's eruptions to beat him.
