Endgame content is too stressfull and difficult

[Mithia]

To be fair, Savages are tuned quite well. If you aren't able to complete the savages, it's not as if you aren't able to follow the story. Nor do you actually need the gear for other content asides from optimizing your dps on savage content or progressing ultimate. But if savage is to difficult for you then ultimate isn't for you either.

The game does allow you to get a full set at the same item level as savage minus the weapon before the next savage patch.

Savage isn't fun at all for me, I hate content that difficult. But there is no other way to get bis gear.

It's like because you said that, or you have some better arguments?

You have to earn BiS. You are not entitled to it. Either get good or play another game.

[AbelArchaniEA]

Endgame content (savages especially) is too difficult and therefore too stressful.
Completion of savages requires multi-hour wiping for a many weeks or even some months, as well as pretty much perfecting rotation, and rotations in FFXIV are very difficult on their own.
This isn't particularly fun, and not everyone is as perfect. Not every human is entitled with enough reaction. Trying for hours every day just to get your bis equipment does not feels right and good.
Moreover, such difficulty leads to difficutly to find people to practice and run dungeons with. If you wasn't lucky to find a group at the beginning of the content - you're pretty much out of it for good.
Something needs to be done about that. Either savage difficulty relaxed a bit, or another source of same bis equipment is needed. Let it be 2 times slower to get than savage's loot, but let it be. For these people, who can't do savages due to time issues, or due to lack of proper reaction and skills, or due to inability to find a group.

I'm sorry for any possible mistakes in text, I'm not native English speaker and my English knowledge is mediocre.

You sound like a perfect candidate for a game like animal crossing. I suggest you go get a switch.

I have to agree with most of the people who are saying both not to do savage if you don't enjoy it and that BiS is unnecessary unless you are doing savage. Because both of those are right.

You can grind standard duties for tome gear. When the next alliance raid releases, you'll have the ability to upgrade said tome gear. Usually the savage raids offer gear that is a measley 5-10 ilvls higher than the current tome gear (which is questionable once said gear is augmentable) and possibly with slightly better stat weights. The effect of which is negligible in standard duties unless you're a regular parser and honestly unless the party is struggling, why even do that at all?

If you want BiS then you have to be prepared to do the work. That's for any game, not just this one. Otherwise the game is pretty generous with what it offers people (like me) who chose not to do savage as far as gear is concerned.

I mean, i get it if you're going for glams but as someone mentioned its best to do that either at the end of the expansion or at the start of a new one when its unsyncable.

Well said. I think the majority of the community would agree

As someone who has raided every tier since second coil of Bahamut, only 1 fight this tier, E8s, could have the moniker of being overtuned and quite frankly it's fine as all it actually asks for is low green (25%-49%) so 25%-30% from all 8 players while doing mechanics and anyone at that stage should have the necessary requirements for it.

But never judge anything based on pugs. I learned all of E8s by end of week 3 took 2 more weeks of wiping on enrage to get kill, and has been pretty smooth for weeklies since then. Random people comes random skill levels.

The worse aspect of e6s is the clashing colours with aoe markers/background/ground, everything else about that fight very reasonable, I certainly don't want another Alte Roite (for those unaware o1s was easier than Susano Ex and is regarded as a complete joke of a fight by raiders especially as it was killed in 1 pull) so dumbing down savage even more no thank you, if you really don't want to put the effort/time needed for it you don't need the reward, you just want it and worsening the content to those that currently enjoy it just so you can get your sparkles no fam.

I don't disagree, shiva is finely tuned, tight check but manageable by an average group. Your methodology is flawed though, you only need those percentiles on every fight because they are a direct result of people who have cleared. You'll find all any player needs is a 0 percentile, there's one for every job on every fight including ultimates.

[Alyx_Morfyn]

Savage is not "too difficult". It's just not for everyone. And BiS is something you only need to do ultimates fights or speedkills. Having a decent gear is enough to clear savages (relic gear and a few tomestones spent here and there should do the trick). As long as you're ilvl480+ you're good to go.

I can't beleive people think they can decide if something is balanced or not by only judging from their own perspective...

How is that not the correct response to the OP saying "Savage isn't fun at all for me, I hate content that difficult. But there is no other way to get bis gear"? You literally dont need the best gear for anything in game(aside from ultimate, and someone frustrated with savage shouldnt be touching ultimate). If you dont need something and you dont like doing it, then Dont Do It! is great advice.
