    My LS-mates and I are working on Raven as well. We're 0/6 so far, but have gotten him down to Phase 3, under 10%. I think we'll have it in the next couple goes - fingers crossed.

    I have to agree, the United We Stand fight, and so far the Raven fight have been very satisfying. I actually appreciate that we've lost and not beaten the fight on the first, or even second or third try (though we did clear United on the second try, only 'cause others had been through it already and knew the fight well first-hand). It will make finally succeeding that much sweeter.

    Best part is, each time we've wiped, we've been able to tell why it happened. It hasn't been this "okay, we were doing fine... what happened?". The reasons have been very evident. The game made it clear what our mistakes were, and so we knew what we had to do next time. Trial and error. Learning and improving with each attempt. It still works .

    This is the way all major fights should be, in my opinion. I never could understand why some people get all fed up and pissy when they don't get it on the first or even second try, like they go in with this expectation that everything should be a cake-walk. It's a final boss fight. It should be epic. It should be difficult. It should kick your ass and make you pay attention. Raven has been doing that so far, and I love it. My armor's not all thrilled about it though lol.

    So, to the designers of the United We Stand fight, and especially the Darnus fight, if you're reading this (or if such a message could be passed to them).... Well done! Please keep it up!

    I couldn't even imagine what Darnus is like on Hard mode. Yeesh.
