Why the nerf to p8s?

[DiaDeem]

I just have some thoughts that I don't think warrant a whole new thread, nor do I feel particularly strong about the topic, since I don't do Savage that much, but just chiming in:

I believe they said they don't want Savage to be what it used to be during the days of Coils and Alexander, and that they wanted to make Savage more clearable by a larger amount of people, and having Ultimate become the hardest content to clear instead. Is this good or bad? I have no idea, I'm just throwing the thought out there as a possible explanation.

I also don't think they want P8S to become another Living Liquid or Manipulator situation. Not many people remember that, and it's not a one-to-one comparison but statics died to those fights.

Either way... just a few thoughts. Carry on.

Everyone has different thought. But this is what my thought is...
I feel savage now is just like extreme mode. Take my p6s run for example in this week. I cleared with a bunch of ppl that i dont know with 10 deaths......
Not only like that, people are skipping mechanics with tank lb3 or healer lb3 in day 2 week 1 of the release. Then, what is the point of design the mechanics that get skipped?
This tier there is no DPS check until p8s. Because of no DPS check, when people hit the wall of p8s, people start complaining it is too hard. But guess what, I see people do not even know their DPS rotation well, or didnt even use mitigation in the correct spot (blame healer for not healing), I even see people do not use DPS potion or this tier's food and still clear the raid. People just keep complain about job balance by looking at data, but really there is no game that is perfect balance and instead of complaining think what can you do better as a player.
I personally feel they nerf p8s way too fast, savage is non-casual content according to SE, but i feel it is like casual content already.
