Why do you fail at Hashmal?

That's the thing...I don't often get frustrated to the point where I'm willing to make a topic over it. It's just very noticeable because Hashmal is still literally the wall. I don't necessarily have a metric...it seems the midcore begins when you start progging Savage modes, I suppose. Because those are definitely not casual content. O2S and O3S are still a problem, and they are much harder than fighting Hashmal...well...not so much with O2S, it's just remembering things.

Yeah from what I've seen you're generally pretty levelheaded, so I was surprised to see this topic coming from you, to be honest. (Is that weird to say? I lurk a lot and usually notice your posts 'cause you're also on Siren, haha.)

And again, I definitely sympathize with that frustration! I'm not really sure why people struggle too much with Hashmal, either, to be honest. I'm just kind of spitballing and/or trying to understand exactly who we're talking about. So, like, I think that progging Savage is probably a reasonable point at which to say "midcore" might start. But my question was more along the lines of "how do you know where the people who are underperforming on Hashmal fall on the scale?"

We Sirens have to stick together, ya know

Umm...that is an interesting question. Somebody should make a topic on what defines casual/midcore as it relates to FFXIV. The boiling point for me today was an entire alliance, minus their tank, getting wiped. Twice. I'm actually very stumped on how to define your question lol
