Maybe some extremes but they're varied in difficulty, people saying you should have know how to clear every extreme, all the details off by memory doesn't understand that's not even realistic for most players, EXT's for the most part need preparation for the fight, I don't know how anyone would even expect your most hardcore raiders to be able to understand all the extremes just off by memory from clearing them once...?

I personally think Mentors shouldn't have much to do with "harder content" in general, it's pretty quick and easy for someone to explain basics about a lot of normal content, with extremes and savage you shouldn't really expect everyone to explain every mech to you, you should either look at a guide and go use party finder or find a group to do it blind with. I just don't know what people really expect of mentors if they think they're able to explain every mech of every EXT fight.

I will end off by saying the mentor system could do with some updating, But I think obviously mentors should be able to explain pretty well known and normal things they're not meant to be this all knowing being who performs everything at a perfect level. I personally think a lot of people expect mentors never to make mistakes or understand every mech of every fight, I'll add that I think Mentors should try to be responsible and give advice if someone asks.
Most EX fights can be blind progged in a single lockout. Overgearing and potency creep make the dps checks on old EX fights basically non-existent.
