^ (same guy you're replying to): I think you got it nailed. Balance is sorely lacking in this game.

The jump just seems crazy high though. As I said, I can easily stun it (hunter arrows), I can get it to fall and thrash down every single time, no problem. But actually damaging it, different story. It would be better if it was actually harder to stun, but you could at least inflict some damage on it.

Right now it's like you said, they just amped up it's defense stat to some crazy ass value, "haha, you don't have the best weapons dragonforged? screw you". Hell... I AM using at least 2nd-tier weapons (I hope there's some better unknown BBI level 3 weapons, otherwise I'm using the best already), and i'm level 120. Maybe still too low?

I mean, I'm already post-Daimon. I only went this far because I wanted to see what else remaining the game has. If the post-Daimon monsters are all as fucked up as this firedrake, and all I'm missing is a couple of 3rd tier crap, I might as well just say fuck Capcom and move on to the next game on my list - I love grinding as much as the next guy, but when there's no incentive to then why bother.

Thanks for the comments though, I gotta this game's wiki one of the best, with animated gifs on skill articles and everything. You guys really went all out, heh. Good luck.
