A little late to the party.

Well in that case no wasting time, have to get down on it.


See above. Though I am on a PS4 it wasn't released for almost 7 months after Realm Reborn, so I'm not that far behind. (though I know that some content is older) But its all good, getting there not hoping for any Ilvl 135 or whatever its up to now. Though if it keeps going the way it is, people will be able to solo the early HM's. Maybe they should make them 4 man content.

atma gets upgrades each time you finish a book
for example, ive finished 2 books on my bravura, and now im sitting at 4 more str than the zenith

My friends and I ran questline Garuda for science today (normal mode, 4 man) and downed her in 4 minutes, only about 30 seconds more than a light speedrun. Meanwhile lightfarming Garuda hard-mode for an hour in dutyfinder yielded 2 wipes and almost a third due to people ignoring mechanics.

Meh. Extreme primals are more of a reliable challenge in regards to mechanics, even with gear inflation.

Edit: FYI Garuda normal mode has a hard ilvl sync of i46. The real kicker in regards to fight difficulty is the player's competence with the fight, not boss hp.

It's here you will start to see people even out a bit as you just can't out gear some mechanics.

Most content early 50 and even higher up can be bum rushed though.

People can't pull while you're in the opening cutscene... the party members are stuck in the circle thingy.

Yes I know. Its a figure of speech about how quick it happened.

Anything that isn't Final Coil will be absurdly easy at this point. HMs, EXs, First coil, second coil, all dungeons - the gear that people have now is more than enough to tank and spank most things, and do minimal mechanics on all others
