Alex Savage really harder?

[Craiger]

So I know it's early, but I've seen quite a few groups who have already cleared A1, and even the ones who haven't, are getting good progress on it... (I'm waiting on static to try it out)

Can anyone say if it's harder than FCoB Turn 10 for example?

From what I've heard, the mechanics is are really simple, and you just have to get high DPS and heal well.

Ofc getting that DPS is gonna be hard for most groups, but it still seems kinda simple on the mechanics, and I hope A2-A4 have some more new mechanics that makes it a little more interesting and new.

The first turns have always been pretty easy, the third and fourth should throw a spanner in the works for most groups. Just keep in mind that a lot of raid teams haven't made it past A1's trash yet.

Should only be A1 being a little easier though... Otherwise they "waste" 2 floors that they could make a challenge.

If Faust is killed just the same way he is in normal, he shouldn't be a problem, because it's basically just like DPSing a striking dummy

I've already seen parses where all 4 dps were hitting 1,000-1,200 on Faust and they hit enrage.

This is a great time to ask for an official parser again.

Lately, with interest in our FC to do the raids properly (we're very casual bunch of working adults and varsity student types), I started to parse our FC members because I know our dps suck. What I saw wasn't suck. It was abysmal. In our BismarckEX tries I as PLD full VIT (our healers like it more) was doing only 500dps yet ranked 3rd in encounter DPS. Our top DPS does 600 or so in BismarckEX. We're all at iLv170+. No need to say we have not made it to phase 3 yet.

Half our FC play on the PS4. I can't afford to babysit 4 different dps jobs that I don't play and expect to turn them into top players. If there was an in-game parser, at least they could practice on their own. They want to improve, but the tools are simply not there...

thats a lie , and u know it , if some1 wants to improve , they read guides if they dont know better, practice and improve , u dont need a PARSER to know u are doing your rotation wrong.

This. A million times this. So many players in my FC on PS4 thinking they are amazing, when their dps is just so abysmal and they have no idea.

i remember Coils turn 1 and 2 being pretty easy once the strategy was down. So i dont think this is a big deal.

At least, they required "strategy".
And for Turn 2, even a clever, unexpected, acknowledged by the Dev Team, strategy

We have no word of Floors 2/3/4, but i expect (or atleast hope) they will be significantly harder in our current gear levels.
