Is Byakko the easiest Primal upon relase?

Susano is not easy, lakshimi is not either.

Byakko is easier.

Lakshmi still exists, right?

He's definitely one of the easiest; probably just ahead of Vrill: The Fight and Pop a Pimple. On the flipside, he's also one of the most annoying depending on your job.

Tank/Healer: Piss easy
Melee: "I hate everything"
Range: *Laughing at the melee*
Caster: "At least we're not melee."

The intermission though. Please never do that again, SE. Or change it so we only see it if someone's new. Farming him with that stupid two minute delay is beyond irritating.

Hahahahahaha

Yes, they are. People were pushing them in 290 gear. Both were an absolute joke, though Susano had some fun mechanics.

For the reward you get I think the Byakko EX fight is appropriately adjusted. As for easiest I think that would be Lakshimi. Cleared it on the first or second attempt with a random group from PF. Didn't even require brain work. You could just zone out and still clear.

In terms of mechanics they are not easy.
Playing it synced is a real challenge.

The only way they could ever be found hard is if you're purposely failing mechanics.

Shiva wasn't that easy. I remember struggling for days in PUGs with her. I think the easiest EX primal upon release was Lakshmi EX and Sophia EX.

I think there's an argument that it's the easiest "on release" since 3.0 simply because 340-350 gear was so easy to have at release. The ilvl requirement was only 340 and most people dwiddling their thumbs were 340-345 already. and as DPS, there just aren't many things to lookout for and react to that will cause a death. lightning is a 10 second paralyze yet that has never stopped me from getting to my stack in time. i can eat an orb, i can get touched by the purple bubble, have 3 vuln stacks, and still survive storm pulse. I was expecting Sephirot level difficulty, but I'll be expecting that from the primals to come.

2 issues with that. 1, folks are getting better so folks are having an easier time of jumping into stuff. 2, when folks still screw up simple stuff like the tank swap and sweep the leg it's clear there's a difference between folks that know the game and folks that don't

I wouldn't say easiest, but it is easy. And yes, Susano and Lakshmi are easy. I was solo healing Susano in i320 gear.
