How difficult is Ultimate?

[Ralph2449]

Havent done any since I am pretty new but I am guessing they are near a similar level to wow mythic raids, someone who has done both can correct me.

So a good player should definitely able to do it, the thing is with raids you arent the only one taking part in them, so you ll need to find a big group of similarly good players to actually beat it which was always the biggest obstacle to high end mmorpg group content like this.

Good players can do it, there is no 1% skill elite, the issue starts when certain players whose ego depends on video game achievements end up obsessing and minmaxing so much they act as if they are somekind of godlike 1% while in reality all they are is just obsessed metaslaves who arent anything special but are often toxic to the community if let to spread.

Thankfully ff14 is far better balanced and the community is much better so this is far less of an issue here thankfully.

If my friend's UCoB static is indicative of the normality then I would argue commitment is the biggest factor, in combination with tenacity or lack thereof. So, likemindedness in effect.

If you put anyone in any given encounter or situation then learning and competency is just a matter of time, irrespective of how incompetent or challenged they are before that point. Just another curve.

Harder than a savage fight but if a person like me that generally sucks at videogames (no joke) has cleared all three of them I guess they are not that difficult
The real struggle is finding a group of 8 people that is actually willing to spend a good chunk of hours progging each fight (we are talking about anything that ranges between 40-100 hours depending on skill and off-raid study)
My advice is to just try and find a static and see for yourself whether Ultimates are for you or not, in the end it's just you who can gauge the difficulty.
Keep in mind that these type of fights have also become easier because of the level sync (UCoB and UWU) and i475 dungeon gear/relic weapons (TEA)

Basically imagine Mythic Ashara but with literally no addons and only 8 people. ok....well in theory no addons but everyone who does ultimate uses ACT for dps and another thing that mimics DBM timings and call outs.
