    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Not yet it isnt. Helped a friend get theirs done one short session when they got back from work, probably 3 hours in total while i was working on my 3rd one. The grind for the relic upgrade is easily done in a day. Also, you can do the FATEs on any job(including BLU) before you have to do the measly 6 dungeon runs. Do Antitower or Sohm Al hard, that can be done in an hour tops.

    So... Yesterday made until Castrum's last boss, but we failed the timer, due to 4 wipes... In the end, I actually lost around 20k mettle overall by my own deaths and the wipes around the instance. I know, I know... But was my 1st run, still learning all of the mechanics.

    Said that... My Rank is 11. Would be wiser to wait until rank 15 to try again, so the mettle losses wouldn't matter?

    I honestly believe the best way to compensate for Castrum high risk with mettle loss is to atleast provide Mettle rewards for each boss defeated to cover any Mettle loss during fights.

    That or remove the Mettle loss from Castrum.

    That way people maybe more willing to join Castrum more often since they don't have to risk their Mettle too much.

    You can't lose rank, but lose more the higher rank you are. I'm thinking it's probably best to do Castrum asap after hitting 10.

    You don't lose rank but your mettle can go all the way to zero. Anyway, IMO you don't lose that much mettle that a few CE won't fix, something that I find myself doing from time to time to keep my mettle at max.

    I actually did rank all the way to 15 before properly farm Castrum and honestly, at this point I think was not a smart move because I skipped successful Castrum runs.

    But as more as time goes on, more people get famililar with Castrum mechanics, making runs easier? At least that's what I was basing myself on. So far I've been through 3 Castrum runs that failed in different points of the raid, mostly due to people being completely clueless on what to do on those fights...

    I still not good at Obey mechanic so I manage to still die like 2 or 3 times in there. I lost around 3k per death so I can recover that with a top CE or a few SK. Honestly, go for Castrum, you are better off. I don't see you wiping at this point.

    If anything it's a lot of gil to be made if lucky (as long as you don't care for the future BA of course, and if you do you will need the gear/actions).
