The reason I've never cleared Gordias Savage is because at the time of its release I was still leveling to 60 and then gearing up once I reached 60. By the time I was at a decent iLevel to even be able to attempt it the first waves of learning parties on my server were long gone and everyone was either looking for people with good knowledge of the fights and who had been inside up to a certain point or cleared it before. I did get into a learning party for AS1 recently and we made it up to the first add phase before people started to give up or had to go. The boss was actually dying a lot faster then I thought it would. Just the mechanics seemed to be the place we were having the most trouble, stacking resins correctly and such. I'm sure the new raid will still be difficult I was just saying for people who have already cleared the old one the new one may feel easy since it's difficulty dps wise won't be higher then Gordias Savage. As for me I'm hopeful because I know that if there is going to be something majorly screwing me over in the new raid it will more likely be mechanics then dps checks. I'm also happy that I won't have to clear Gordias Savage to get into Midas, not because of Gordias's difficulty but because of how hard it would be to find a party of people willing to go through it with a new person when everyone is going to be out doing Midas anyway and won't have any reason to do Gordias.
