Ramuh EX, WHY YOU NO LOVE HIM.

Hello,

I know everyone is obsessing over new Coil and still doing Lev farms like crazy...but I just spent 2 hours trying to organize Ramuh EX groups and it just DOES NOT HAPPEN ON OUR SERVER.

Whys ; ;

His beard is too intimidating? Is the music too pretty?

Are the rewards not worth the effort? Ok..maybe...but they're soooo prettty!

C'mon people, let's do this. Don't be scared.

If there is anyone on Cactuar who wants to get a good farming group going for him please contact me! I WANT HIS SPEAR SO BAD. What I don't want so bad is wasted time and flakey quitters. Currently those are abundant here.

<3 u all.

Its the same on Adamantoise. Cant find anyone but the same 3 people. Its not that hard! :c I really want that staff for my BLM cuz no way in hell am i doing atma again. I humbly wish you good luck on your endeavors to find a Ramuh Ex farm party.

Aslo if anyone on Adamantoise teads this and wants to farm Ramuh ex. Plz contact me. I got 2 ppl who really eant to do this.

Its the same on Goblin.

I blame the hunts.

I'm on Cactuar, i'd ramuh if I wasn't busy putting a static together.

I'd say hunts and the ilvl of the rewards.
I do recall there being a large amount of PFs before the Titan egi strat was fixed >.>

Hunts killed Ramuh before he could live.

There are really two answers here first many players who run primals cheated and used an exploit that clearly was not intended for the fight. Second the rewards are too low for a dps check that is too high. You need nearly a full i100 party or more to satisfy the dps requirement. So at best this fight could be used to min/max a set of pre coil or sand gear. Obviously hunts play a huge role. It would seem many people would rather get potentially i110 through hunts then raid or dungeon content. RIP Ramuh EX you died long before your time.

That's what happens when SE decides to ignorantly implement horizontal progression. The ramifications are evident in the popularity of the XIV populous. One of the best Primal Fights out there and among the easiest imo.

Hunts are the only answer. I do however find it amusing when I see i100/110 getting face rolled by simple things like Levi and Garuda.

Its mostly because of the Hunts. I guess Ramuh should drop Oil and Sand, then you would find a group.

I personally don't join any that require TS to join. I have TS, and I could hop on if I wanted to, but it really bothers me that people make TS mandatory for such an easy fight so I just stay out of it. Btw, PF for Ramuh fills up pretty quickly on my server.

Easy!
For anyone who considers Ramuh as vertical progression, the DPS and coordination check is simply too high to bother with for getting interim rewards like i100 gear; you can just hunt/coil and go straight to i110.

Think Ultima HM.

People would rather mirror farm to get an i100 weapon than do Ramuh, that's really saying something :(

Like what others said, the reward doesn't justify the difficulty of the fight. Don't get me wrong, I like the difficulty as it is, but I really think we can use better rewards for slaying the old man. This is pretty much a "raid-level" primal, which is REALLLLY unfriendly to pugs as compared to the previous primals. I think that if we get the rings boost to i110 and increase in weapon drop rate (100% seems impossible, but I will really love to see that), I guess we will see much more people grouping up to mug the old man.

Definitely agree with you Soki and others that rewards are undermining the potential of this primal fight. If there isn't such an upgrade to the rewards, I'm really dreading it when this fight appears on Duty Finder. (p.s. @sokiyagami glad you are doing well old friend :])

Count with me :)
