Criterion savage, only for i625-i630?

I know plenty. Simply because raids requires either a static, where you have to consistently be available for a set amount of hours, for so and so days, which can be challenging for many people depending on life or work situations.

or you can do PF. yeah People love to PF don't they? where the challenge comes from getting a okay group, rather than the fight itself.

I reprogged this tier from scratch on my alt recently, and reached p8s with less than 10 hours spent in PF groups across two weeks. I've PF'd every tier since Creator back in HW, and I view a lot of claims pertaining to the viability of PF with a lot of incredulity. I genuinely do not think it's as much of a barrier as people make it out to be.

In my overwhelming experience, these types of ideas about statics/scheduling being mandatory or PF being unviable are just self-imposed limitations. It's entirely possible to do all of the hard content in this game in a reasonable amount of hours entirely on your own time. This game has some of the most readily accessible hard content of any MMO.

I'm interested in challenging content, but I am also aware of how awful I am at playing. It's way easier to find 3 equally awful players to fail together with, than finding a static where I'll most likely hold 7 other people back for months until they get tired of my nonsense.

I would recommend just jumping into EX4 or P5S fresh parties in PF, they're very accessible and will usually have a mix of experience levels in them, so it's unlikely you'll be the only inexperienced player.

well, thats just the signals i've gotten from friends and others i've talked to. I'm not saying you're wrong. it could very well be the 0.01% minority for all I know.

I doubt it will require savage BiS, but I can see the requirements being above 610. Even players that don't raid would have above 610 at this point because of tomestone gear and I believe this week is the week for the normal raid tomestone weapon. So unless someone is a fairly casual player or fresh to 90 they would be able to meet the requirements by now. I can't see the ilevel requirement being any higher than what you would have after a few accessories from P5S.

I hope it's tuned for higher level gear so there is more than 1 incentive (ultimate) to get BiS. I think ilvl620-625 is a good level. I also hope the Savage version drops slightly below Savage equivalent gear so we can have two avenues of gearing up alt jobs.
