As it can be seen there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_OlffxQUuc (iRO again, should be Valkyrie server but can't be sure) , ifrit cannot use LP. I'll simply quote doddler who said it quite simply:
Don't really know how much it could affect other skills on other monsters since the LP use is probably the only really noticeable one and it requires long basic attack range (or at least longer than the standard melee skill range).
Thanks for reading.

QUOTE
He doesn't use land? protector because at his maximum range he is too far away to cast land protector on the tank. It's a common tactic when fighting randgris and ifrit as they have farther range than some of their skills.

Can anyone confirm that this bug exists in rAthena? I scanned the source but couldn't find evidence of monster skill casting working when out of skill casting range.
[code]if( !battle_check_range(&md->bl,bl,skill_get_range2(&md->bl, ms[i].skill_id,ms[i].skill_lv)) ||
!unit_skilluse_id2(&md->bl, bl->id,ms[i].skill_id, ms[i].skill_lv,ms[i].casttime, ms[i].cancel) )[/code]
This code seems to check the range just fine, if a monster is say 8 cells away and tries to use Land Protector, this code should prevent that skill from being cast. If anyone can post a video or provide evidence of Land Protector working with Ifrit regardless of how far away Ifrit is from the target, then I can confirm that this bug truly exists
[b]Edit[/b]
After Ind and I tested this, both of us agreed that this bug doesn't exist on rAthena. To replicate, spawn Ifrit and move to 3 cells distance from the monster and wait for 2-3 minutes to see if it casts Land Protector, then move within 2 cells range and it will cast Land Protector almost immediately.
