Shinryu Ex needs a nerf

[Clicked]

There's a normal version of this fight if you prefer something easier. But it sounds like you're looking for the rewards for this fight without the effort. Nope. At a certain point some things in this game have to be earned by determination and learning from mistakes (I won't even say skill because EX fights are more about knowing the script than anything).

If you're too impatient to learn with PUGs, get a static or wait until the content is older.

I want Square to release a super savage Shinryu now just to keep this going. I still have popcorn.

This is sad.

I'm all for it, nobody want contents for less than 10% of players, everything should be doable for 50% of the playerbase atleast (if not more). To be sure it's not a waste of ressources.
I'm sure Nic Pay would agree with me.

Lots of people want that though... That's why they do it.

I want it. I havent gotten there yet, but it gives me something to strive for. Something to look forward to beating. It's thrilling.

If you offwork at 6-7AM EST and you got only got 2-3 hours online time in work day.
You never know the feeling when you waste a day for nothing get, dont to mension that it takes an hour to form a group at that time

I have a son who's just over a year old, work 30 so hours a week, and do college 3 days a week.

Wanna know how much time I get to play a day? Sometimes none. If I'm lucky I'll get to play 3 days a week, maybe 4. And on those days, I'm usually lucky to get 4 hours at most. And I've still cleared os1 and am getting ready for os2. Time is no excuse

6.0 ultimate Shinryu needs a nerf

Still got to get my clear but this fight is not that hard, I can play maybe 2 or 3hrs a day an so far so good ,almost on my clear.
I don't really think it needs a nerf.
An compare to thordan this fight feels a lot easier to me.

[Xatsh]

The fight is not that hard. It is simply learn where to stand for the mechanics and do decent damage and you win. The fight does the same actions over and over again... so it is not that hard to learn. Yes failed mechanics 1 shot you and if you have a group with multiple ppl dying it will be a wipe... but that is how it should be.

The dps check is very mild in the fight. I would say for a ex primal difficulty is right where it needs to be.

I am sorry but the playerbase as a whole needs to just get better if this is too hard. It is a whole lot easier then Thordan was back in HW.

You cleared 33 times but want a nerf? What?

[Imsoangry]

If someone cleared 30+ times, its not them who fail. So saying they should go Suzy or Lakshmi makes no sense or you just lack reading skills.

I understand how OP does feel, after trying to clear Shin for over a week now. Its just hard to get 7 ppl who dont mess up, if you dont have a static. I dont want SE to nerf it though, the challenge is something i enjoy but i do wish there were more pug groups with 8 decent people.

You're lacking being able to see an obvious irony. Op complains about difficulty, even though that fight is far from being difficult. Especially middle and last phase, are super easy compared to some earlier primals. The fact that op or you get god awful groups, doesn't automatically mean everyone struggles with it. Following this logic lets nerf o3s and o4s as well, as its hard to get good pugs in there. That's complete nonsense. It's called extreme for a reason. It's meant to be bit harder than typical content in this game but not as hard as final raid encounters. And guess what - it's exactly that kind of difficult. This game is already mostly faceroll, so asking for more faceroll type encounters like first 2 primals introduced with Stormblood, is just beyond me. Shinryu doesn't need any nerfs due to time naturally nerfing that fight already. If you struggle now, simply get better groups or try again later instead of asking to nerf a fight that a lot of people find enjoyable and tunned just right. Luckily - seeing the amount of likes and type of replies that OP gets, its easy to see that barely anyone agrees with this nonsense.
