Ok asking for advice

#3 AFTER you clear Rubicante, make sure everyone seems excited and up for this type of stuff and tell them in their free time or organize one of your raid nights before 6.4 to clear or at least practice the P8S Dummy in SSS, the place mentioned in #1. This is much tighter DPS but with ilvl 625 + Gear it should be feasible. This is the type of challenge you are signing up for anyways.


If you succeed at all these three things you will be in good shape. And most of these except the EX night is something everyone can work on their time. If you fail at any besides the last one those are major red flags and you saved yourself 4 months and possibly an FC. Hopefully by then you have the 8/8 group but I've seen 5/8 and 6/8 groups pugging the tier no problem. So a full static is good, but not absolutely required. Get ready to lose raid night time filling in PF though.

Or you could just wing it. Anyways, I believe in these methods to prepare you for sucess. GL.

There's a practice dummy with a DPS check?? ...1st I'm hearing of this LoL that is a awesome feature in game but I will be sure to let people know about it, I'm sure this will be learning curve regardless for everyone since we are all new to this stuf so I'm sure some rotations will need to be adjusted to perform better, Also we probably won't be starting EXACTLY when 6.4 comes out because our sage 2 weeks after has to go home cuz his dad is getting out of the hospital to visit so our expected start is ~ 4-6 weeks after 6.4 launches to casually approach it so I'm sure there will be many fleshed out strategies before we enter but this life.

As for Dixie we are setting them (very low honestly to start because so many new people 1st time raiding our biggest focus is learning in knowledge of the game, out class and improvement for this 1st one) gearing is set, working with understanding jobs and buff windows, we know all the icons from dungeons now if their are raid specific video guides hopefully do good job of showing and explaining them

Ty both for the suggestions and tips

Yeah lol, a lot of people don't know about it. In that case you could have them practice on the Dummy for the EX that comes out in 6.4 whenever yall are ready. Keep in mind it's going to be harder than Rubi on starter gear since gear resets in 6.4 whereas people right now overpower Rubi on 6.3 end gear. But it is a great asset for starting out imo.

The last thing is the game works in waves. So be advised that the more the tier progress the quality of PF deteriorates in case you're not 8/8. It's not to say that late tier is impossible or anything but it is slightly harder as a lot of players get bored and quit/stop raiding after a couple of months. If you are into raiding later down, you want to catch the early wave and ride it.
