"Once you get past Titan X, Ifrit X is a breeze!" They said. "The mechanics for Ifrit X aren't hard to deal with at all." They said.
I spent over 13 hours today, split by the midday times, trying to PF it. Trying to shout/build/DF+PF. Tried with friends, tried with an all LS group! I tried tanking, I tried DDing, and a few times people inquired about the gear status of my Scholar.
It's so much worse too, because it's so much easier to get far in the Ifrit X fight. It's so much easier to see the finish line, but getting all the way there is another story.
And it's funny, all the people saying it's easy are DDs/DPS. Every time I look into a PF queue, it's 4 DPS, no healers or tanks. Every time I tank it, I have to explain to the other tank how to swap appropriately. Sometimes I didn't though, due to knowing said person's attitude towards being tipped.
You watch the Mr. Happy video on Youtube, and that *** makes stupid remarks like, "Oh, I'm disappointed with how simple this fight is. It's not challenging, though it is tightly worked. You can see we're overgeared for it by 20 iLevels, and there were only 5 seconds remaining in that final nail phase! If you were the rated iLvl I could see it being very challenging!"
D: Aaaaagh, goddamn it!
