    Congrats! We finally beat 3rd fight tonight. Thankfully. I think my raid lead woulda had a meltdown otherwise. We'd been so close. I switched over to SMN from RDM to up our raid DPS. Turned out to be less need to think during/before Purgation, too.

    Saw Sakaguchi just beat 2nd fight as well on bird app. This tier's a bit of a doozy.

    First tier was nothing but tethers. This tier is "find the tiny safe zone and pray."

    I've noticed that a lot of raid tiers have a single type of mechanic they like to abuse in every fight for that tier. It's not often obvious, but becomes noticeable the more you do the fights.

    Likely true in more recent years. I've really let raid fights space out completely since first tier of Eden.
