Stormblood Duty Support

[localareanetwork]

We made the fight more braindead and worse than it was a 6 years ago. I guess ShB babies like you prefer that!!

Every relevant raid now is much more difficult than any raid in Stormblood.

Savage, and Ultimates ESPECIALLY.

Ultimates are not hard because they have harder mechanics, they're just far less recoverable in EW (compared to on-patch UCOB and UWU). But sure. They are the ONLY type of combat content that is harder in EW. (But that probably isn't true for saus legends)

Savages are absolutely not harder though lmao. But can't expect ShB babies to know much about raiding history in this game.

It is a little unfortunate if they're having to dumb down the dungeons for the sake of making them workable for trusts.

I wouldn't mind it if they did total revamps of the fights like with Praetorium but it sounds more like they just kinda...removed mechanics that wouldn't work with trusts.

Having a blast hitting a striking dummy with Lv50 actions could only indicate one thing

Sorry for your parents

I’m fine with being simple and liking simple things. I disagree the new steps are merely a striking dummy; it’s a cute little fight that fulfills the needs of the story at that point and replaces an instance (and unnecessary queue) that was long past its prime.

I understand wanting “more” and “better”— there’s always room for both — but what we have suits the story at that point just fine.

It's literally not hard to look my main up by looking through the FC.

Fun fact: people like different things.

gone are the halcyon days of queuing into bardram's mettle and inspecting the tank and finding that he's still in shire gear

Way back when, I queued into it while leveling white mage, and got a tank in non-augmented Ironworks gear. I have never noped out of a duty faster.
