Thread: Changes to Savage with 6.2

This has 2 effects,

First it makes savage even easier then before with the health gain from ilvl upgrades compared to previous tiers.

Secondly the already non-existant dps check will be even less existant.

Tldr:
I do not mind savage being pushed back a week or two after a patch update but please don't ruin the crafted gear/tomestones/trail iteration that has been existing since stormblood. If you really want to do something to savage remove that stupid doorboss checkpoint or add a piece of upgrade loot to the doorboss which is something we actually have been asking for a long time instead.

So for two of the 4 expansions? I don't know if that counts as tradition or not.

HW 1
SB 2
Shadowbringers 3
Endwalker 4

Thats 3/4 now suddenly mid explansion they are changing it.
Ask your family , if they had a tradition for 3 generations and then you decide to break it, what they would think about it.

It is and if they do not do anything about it the change would make the non-existant dps check even worse.

Unlike in 6.05, they will not be delaying Tomes to coincide with Savage, despite the 1-week Savage delay because they don't want to risk upsetting casual players. Tomes will come out a week before Savage (with normal). YoshiP acknowledges that this is a huge change and encourages everyone to give feedback on how it feels after experiencing it. They're aware that the fights will likely be a bit easier because of the higher ilvl and they discussed rebalancing to make them harder, but for now they don't want to make too many changes
