About (Savage) Raid Difficulty...

[KarstenS]

I'm fine with adjustments to fit a difficulty curve but it should stop there.

A6 is still alot harder than A7. We practised 6 weeks in A6. 4 weeks before and 2 weeks after the audjustments before we killed it at the first raid day of week 7. Now we practised 2 raid days (we raid 3 days a week with an average of 2 hrs per day) in A7 and got it down to 24%.

To be fair, you're now going to spend the next two or three days minimum trying to clean it up and wiping to dumb stuff in the last phase. That's how A7S progression works, you spend more time basically just "cleaning it up" than you do progressing through the fight. Source: my own experience and the experiences of everyone else I've talked to or watched progress through the fight.

This, and that's what I love about this fight.
You learn all the mechanic in the 1st phase of the fight (cage, adds, tank buster and aoes) and once you learned them, the boss throws everything at you with more damage and more violence.
I think this is one of the best turn progression-wise since you can really feel the progress when you try it over and again.
A6S was more frustrating in comparison since you had to do again the bosses you already knew how to kill just to try one pull on the one you're still struggling.
