    Is Ramuh Extreme too "Coil difficult"?

    I decided to vent just a little bit on why there aren't much Ramuh EX parties on Balmung on reddit but when I looked (I was suprised at how popular the topic was...) at the comments: http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/commen...rity_of_ramuh/ I'm finding less and less Ramuh parties, its really a darn shame. But it does bring me into a question on how difficult an Extreme fight should be. What do you consider a decent primal fight?

    Ramuh is IMO the easiest next to leviathan. It's not being done because hunts offer easier and quicker rewards.

    I'm talking about Extreme. It's not exactly easier than Levi EX....

    I would put Ramuh as definitely easier than any of 2nd coil. A little easier than levi ex. And maybe even easier than t5 -- hard to say on that one, since I haven't been there in a long time.

    Hardest thing about Ramuh right now is the DPS check on adds. And it's not too bad. And will only get easier as gear improves.

    PUGs may have a hard time getting everyone on board with the mechanics and coordination. But I definitely found it easier to learn than Levi ex.

    As for what it *should be*? Meh, it's OK I guess. I'll end up spending little time in it because the rewards are already outclassed. Wish they'd make some 24+ person content with level of difficulty like 2nd coil is currently. Maybe primals are good for some people as is.

    Ramuh is the easiest EX primal yet. No irretrievable dead bodies, easy to manage the mechanics with a tank-swap macro and 1-5 markers, very melee-friendly; it's practically turn 8 with an old man. But what does Ramuh have to offer?

    The reward structure is definitely cutting into interest. People grinded out Primal Focus for i90 weapons, many of which were superior to existing i90. People grinded Levi for i95 weapons, many of which were superior to existing i95 weapons (also mirror).

    At this point, after months of Levi, Animus, and Coil, the value of ilvl100 weapons is considerably lower and a few hours of NM hunting gets you an i110 ring.

    I think Ramuh is an enjoyable enough fight, but I can't see grinding it for anything but glamors.

    I believe this is only because folks are overwhelmed by the laser show during adds and lose their focus moreso than any absolute lack of DPS.

    Ramuh´s difficulty is LOL. Easy as f***. The reason why you don´t find parties for it, is because the Hunt System hands "free"(almost) oils and Sands to players. Making Ramuh farming pretty useless. People clear it once and go on

    It's really not that hard, it just requires some coordination.

    i110 rings would have been incentive to farm it. Currently it the reward is very low. Most of my friends unweathered their ring first and bought the the second weathered one until coils will drop their new one.
