    If you can beat E2S just fine, how easy is it to complete E3S and E4S?

    Just curious what the community thinks regarding the rest of the raid tier, since E2S has a rather high DPS check. How is easy/hard is the rest of the tier?

    If you think e2s has a high dps check, you'll find the other floor less forgiving. Ie e2s only is a dps check if people are failing mechanics and getting damage down. On 3 and 4, if you people fail mechanics, they'll likely die and take at least 1 other person with them.)

    From the learning curve my static spend way more time to train and clear E2S then we did on E3S. We haven't cleared E4S yet so I can't really speak for that, but we are on a good way there and so I would say: E2S is the gatekeeper of this raid. Once you've mastered it Levi & Titan shouldn't be that much of an hassle. Especially Levi is in my opinion actually an easier fight then E2S.

    Not sure why but e3s was definitely easier than e2s for my static. It seems like it's a much slower fight. e4s is pretty easy after you got p1 mastered

    Mechanically 3 and 4 are pretty easy, but from that point onwards failing mechanics tends to snowball into wipes rather than enrage.

    Traditionally in all raids 1 and 2 tend to be more forgiving or have less team based mechanics, 3 and 4 tend to require everyone to do mechanics that can get other people killed when failed.

    Mechanically e3s is easier than e2s in my opinion but e4s is definitely more difficult and the DPS check is higher for both of them. E4S is a fight where you can't really go in full autopilot mode like the other ones.

    E3S was easier and less frustration inducing than E2S for my static as well. The adds on E2S's hitboxes combined with server tick shenanigans and attempts to keep the best amount of uptime made E2S a nightmare some days. E3S on the other hand, while difficult, was just a plain old dance and was easier to grasp. We're onto E4S right now and it makes me want to cry as a healer, but we're making pretty good progress after our first real session with it, so it could go either way.

    E2S is the worst fight in the tier, IMHO. E3S is there most well designed, again, imo. If you got E2S down, I see no reason you can't get 3.
    As for E4S, once you get past phase 1, the mechanics ain't too bad. Phase 3 is really easy mechanic wise, but it's a pain in the a** if you're a healer.

    Make SCH great again! Seriously though, we just want our class to be fun and engaging again, not OP, is that too much to ask for?

    for our group i'd say...
    3 was a little easier than 2 and 4 is a little more difficult

    3's mechanics are extremely punishing if you fail them but they're also really easy to do with tons of downtime between them
    4 has a pretty intense beginning and end but the middle 50% or so is like slowmotion easy

    E3S is obviously easier but I ‘m surprise a lot of people with Tsunami 2 Prog PF always failed to reach Stormy horizon ...
    How did they get past Questus though ? Pure Luck ? Carried ?
    Well, I shouldn’t expected much from PF, I guess.
