I also had a lot of unsuccessful pug groups in the last couple weeks, but the difference really is night and day when you get matched up with good players vs bad/inexperienced players. My first and second clear had multiple deaths and we still cleared the fight. My two clears for this week also had deaths yet we still cleared it. Especially my second pug group, the clear felt easy.

So yes, this fight is perhaps way too uptuned for newer players, which it may be aimed at. But for people who are experienced with extreme/savage, the fight feels just right (in my opinion)
