Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

[Valence]

I don't get how hardcore raiding is supposed to be accessible when 90% of the game is so easy you don't have to pay attention. I tried Savage for the first time with Abyssos and I was definitely not prepared from playing normal mode content.

That's a side effect of SE cramming every difficulty into the encounters themselves and their mechanics while leaving very little on the battle system and jobs side.

Jobs can be practiced outside of challenging content, but challenging encounters can only be practiced in their own instances.

Well here it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqBWp00XNZs We got the 1 tank 3 dps run during the media tour.

WAR... no wonder. I mean, those 3 dps are unecessary, to be honest.

2014: Ramuh EX gets cleared with no tank thanks to Titan-Egi. Yoshi P literally 1 day later: "Summoner pet has been hotfixed to prevent an unintended exploit"

2024: Media Tour dungeon gets cleared with no healer thanks to Warrior sustain and lack of outgoing damage: Yoshi P: "Working as intended"

[WaxSw]

We've gone from no healer clear on patch to no healer clear before patch. Sorry but at this point I just have to laugh at this new "enhanced" encounters

This isn’t fair. Why do Healers have to be like this in content outside Savage and Ultimate. I want to enjoy my role in all content, not be forced to play higher level stuff.

The fact that someone new to raiding like you are willingly to try Savage for the first time...
If anything, I'd say the game design is working as intended.

I did Savage because for the first time in my 10 years playing this game I was so bored it was either raid or quit the game.

Eukrasian Dyskrasia: Wait to cast this until Eukrasian Dosis III's duration is down to 15 seconds, this way rather than just dumping DOTs every 30 seconds, you are alternating DOTs every 15 seconds.
Eukrasian Diagnosis: Treat this as the best solution for any and all tankbusters.
Toxikon II: Treat this like it actually deals good damage, effectively like a second Phlegma.

E Dyskrasia being 15 seconds with a potency increase would be an amazing change. Nerf Dosis III if need be.
E Diagnosis: You're gonna have to make the tank busters do WAY more damage for that to happen, at this point.
Honestly, an easy way to fix Toxicon II is to make it so you get Addersting when you either a. Have E prog or E diag break, or b. Proc Kardia 10 or more times. I'd also make Psyche proc Kardia as well to reward proper play.

Sure looks good on engagement metrics, when they consequently ignore how many of those new baited people got their asses handed to them in the first savage fight and quit raiding.

Those people have an attitude problem lol. It's called savage and ultimate content for a reason. You should expect failure when you're engaging. The nature of prog is this: You start at the first mechanic prog, and fail until you get it. Then you do the same for the next mechanics all the way till you grasp every mechanic. It would be boring if you could just wing it and succeed from the start.

Almost everyone has the capacity to prog a single mechanic at a time, and once you've learned it you can move onto the next. It's not like you have to relearn it every time, learning a mechanic is "like riding a bike". Everyone's rate of grasping individual mechanics will vary, but in PF the groups are structured around progging a single mechanic or phase at a time so there is no conflict.

At the end of the day though, if someone is going to quit from failing in their first savage raid, maybe they don't belong in the content yet. Easier content is good for these types because they can experience the expected success that they are attached to. Having someone who lacks resilience in the party just kills the experience for everyone else. Expect to be humbled, be prepared to learn the hard way.
