Lord of the Inferno (Spoiler)Follow

Since this quest pretty much covers all jobs, I thought I'd post this here. (Spoiler Below)

During last beta phase, I got my Conjurer to level 22, and had a heck of a time with this main quest. I tried four times before finally giving up and deciding to wait until the real thing. After a lot of searching, I stumbled upon this article, ( http://eorzeareborn.com/ifrit-story-primal/ ) which gives a pretty good explanation on how the fight goes. Hope this gives insight to anyone else who might be stuck on this fight. Also, if anyone else ( who has completed it on Conjurer) can give any extra tips, they will be greatly appreciated.

That's a pretty good writeup. I made my CNJ's life far easier by being a THM that equipped Cure and Raise and staying away from him, so that we wouldn't both have to move at the same time. That encouraged him to prioritize getting out of the special ground terrain effect over healing, since if he had to move, I could just toss a Cure on the tank in the meantime, and if one person got hit, I helped speed up the healing so that he didn't burn through his MP pool as fast. As a result, we barely had any actual healing to do and Ifrit was really easy.

Edit: From your comments, I'm assuming you're talking about the Ifrit fight part and not the endurance event.

Oh, you are talking about the endurance event. I think the advice I've seen floating around suggested getting rid of some of the archers to make the damage spiking less painful.

It's kinda funny, they had to send in two waves vs. my Marauder to take me down. I went swinging.

I don't know what it was like for mages but I can imagine some of the fights would be hard.

Edit:

Oh, for those trying, just abandon the NPCs, that's what I did. I dove after the archers and just kept ducking any charge attacks.

Honestly I had a harder time with the mission prior when you have Spoilerthe summoned gargoyle and had to survive it to get the NPC to show up.
