Savage Raids are poorly designed and Enrage is fake difficulty.

On the bright side, OP has actually improved however insignificantly compared to the last time they cried about something similar.

Keep at it OP. Keep trying to improve. Eventually, you’ll get to that point… if you keep trying. Don’t give up.

It's no wonder all the toxicity in FFXIV comes from the savage raiding community, which is in turn why we have all these parsers controversies which are taking up the devs focus. This problem could easily be fixed by offering a little wiggle room for mistakes and removing the pointless enrage function but I guess that's not happening any time soon.

Now I'll sit back and wait for all the accusations of "trolling" or me not "gitting gud" to spew forth like the contents of an overflowing toilet.

I know this MUST be a troll post, but if it takes you 15 minutes to clear a Savage fight, you have serious problems (on top of the fact that I'm p. sure you literally can't, since enrage is before that). Are you just here to be a troll for Crystal memes? Kinda sad, if so.

If this is your actual experience, you do just actually need to "git gud" or find nicer ppl to prog with. My experience with tippy-top raiders have been they (for the most part) love to teach & love helping people get better, and love helping people get into raiding.

If you don't like it... then don't do it?

you can have a couple deaths without seeing enrage if you have decent gear. what exactly are you doing if youre seeing it often enough to make a forum post?

If no party you're in can clear there might just be a common cause in there somewhere. Couldnt tell you what though.

So true. You rarely see these top player's in normal PF because they have their own HC group of people they play with.
But when you encounter one in the wild then they are one one the most helpful player I've encountered.

Unlike mentor's and these above average player who think they are something better just because they had 1-2 lucky oranges with a PF group.

What they are doing wrong is trolling. Their last post was about how Savage should be possible solo :)

You get wiggle room for enrage by having a higher item level than the content. If it's not done in week 1 there is more room for error if you gear up.

It's not really a fake difficulty because I have seen many kills during an enrage cast over the years and other times I have seen parties get to enrage and then have to figure out how to do more damage to beat the enrage.

If there is no enrage then you could all decide to auto-attack the boss and only focus on mechanics. Deaths, which apply a damage down, would have no consequence. Getting a damage down would have no consequence.

At least its not the OPs usual troll post about the store items & services costs.

Despite the fact that OP is trolling all savage fights this tier have had a very lenient DPS check, except maybe the 4th boss(es) checks
