Master crafted Penta meld shouldn’t be a thing to clear week one Savage period. It’s buy to win. That being said I prepare my entire raid force every tier because I know how important it is. Do I like it? No! Do I prepare? Yes! Does it cost millions of Gil to prep the force? Yes! Is it worth it? Yes!
Until they change how this tread mill works this is thier formula every major raid tier. I don’t agree with it but I do what I gotta do for my team and move on.
