Ok asking for advice

[Lunaxia]

That is what raiding is. Savage is about being as efficient as possible...

There's some pretty strong irony here when you accuse me of basing my view point off "being mad at people who have offended me" when your post reads like the result of a bit of a chip on your shoulder over some past arguments that have embittered you against other players to the degree you struggle comprehending anyone else's perspective outside of your own. And with how well you deal with criticism, I can't help but feel like the cause for these unfortunate experiences might stem in part from your own issues and how you approach things rather than placing the blame squarely at other people's door.

You did shrug them off, and your inability to accept perhaps there are factors you didn't take into account and obsession with being unconditionally right is the only reason for this completely fruitless discussion. For the record, you might want to take a closer look at your own attitude if statics/ raiding has been so fraught with problems for you, therein might lie your answer.

The only chip on the shoulder I have is you misleading people. I've been pretty successful at raiding so far thank you, I'm afraid your advice comes from having people explaining to you what you did wrong and you gaslighting them about how that's not the right approach and how offended you are. That's counter productive.

Best advice I have for people new to Savage and just beaten main story? Do the EXs first, as they can lay the groundwork for what to expect in Savage. Note that there is basically a curve in difficulty when the EXs are done in a certain order, and out of it they can feel a bit random in difficulty. My best suggestion for the first EX to walk into is Zodiark EX, as it's the easiest EX this expansion and can help your team learn the positioning part of harder content along with keeping up your rotations. It has the barebones of what you can expect in the harder content, and is simple enough to where it's possible to do the entire fight following a single person who knows the safe zones for attacks. It's also pretty fun.

Guys I love that you're being passionate and want to help me, I take everybody's info and positive light and try to see if there's anything I can use. On this note though there's no reason to bicker with each other on what y'all think the best strategy for me is.

I wouldn't worry, we are way past the point where we are posting for you, we are bickering for ourselves and projecting our own issues and convinctions over your situation.

Good luck with your progression, break a leg!

These are the forums. They have to devolve into this. It is the will of the star. But indeed, good luck.

Eh...I tried to stop the argument but this was an inevitable fear because of everybody's varying level some people would take it far more serious than others and that could lead to arguments due to differing opinions and directions oh well

Keep your sense of humor. This could be a really great shared struggle helping to form a cohesive group in the long run if everyone can learn to laugh at their mistakes.

I plan on it I'm hoping we can laugh at, each other pick on each others mistakes and have fun without offending each other.

Whatever fiction helps soothe your clearly wounded ego.

Good luck OP, funnily enough this thread might have been an education in the ways of raiding and what to expect in more ways than one.
