Savage Raids are poorly designed and Enrage is fake difficulty.

[JamieRose]

Expecting 8 people to perform 15 minutes of mechanics without losing DPS, without a single death and all this while poorly communicating is the crux of everything that makes Savage raiding a horrible experience, the icing on that inedible cake is enrage which enforces this mechanic through fake difficulty and removes any flexibility or room for error.

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.

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.

Honestly I think they're unlikely to ever improve by more than insignificant margins. Their mindset is stubbornly set at "all my faults are someone else's fault".

For once I have to say "troll thread" and leave it at that.

As naive as I sounded, I really hoped they did.

But boy, last few replies made me realize they're the epitome of what people call 'the lost cause'. I regretted for giving them the benefit of doubt.

It's actual difficulty. It is meant to be hard. People need to stop asking for easier stuff.

There isn't a savage fight in the game you can't clear with multiple deaths if everyone is doing their rotations and outputing damage properly.

The final fight of a tier is typically the hardest and may require more gear, but it still has a lot of leeway.
