    That really depends on what EXT fight really, I've mainly done a lot of the recent EW ones and some SHB ones personally I remember them being somewhat hard, you certainly needed to watch a guide beforehand, a lot of the really older ones might be true?

    That being said You can certainly still get stuck with a fight that would practically be impossible to explain everything from and Duty finder isn't really good for extremes, theirs not even a exterme roulette outside of mentor. It goes back to Duty finder not really being the best learning environment for harder content in the first place.

    I am basing what I said on the EW trials. The first two were barely ex fights and neither of the other two have mechanics that someone aspiring to be a mentor should have trouble picking up.

    "difficulty of fights is easy" as a example I actually found the third EXT (of this expansion) pretty easy after watching the guide for a example, But I know if I was randomly yeeted into it right now I'd likely not have a clue what I'm doing and would likely want a quick reminder of the mechs, This is the issue with getting random harder content. (I haven't done EXT4 yet, not really interested in hard content right now).

    but again, you should likely watch a guide and use party finder if you want to do a extreme. Random instances of Duty finder EXT should have nothing to do with being a Mentor really.

    Not sure how you went across clearing the trials but if it was with randoms in PF you simply got really lucky that your group functioned as it should. It's not exactly common to get a first run clear that way outside of having a pre-formed group of people you know the skill level of.
