Difficulty of normal content.

[Narroo]

I honestly don't really understand the viewpoint of the content in DT being hard, sure its 'harder' than EW, but let us be honest here and realize the truth that EVERYTHING is 'harder' than EW content. EW was the last expansion in a 10 yr long story with a HUGE influx of people to the game from ShB, which led to a lot of hand holding in EW. People complained that the Garlemald quest where you become a Garlean soldier was too hard so they added an easy mode if you died.

Unfortunately, Normal raids 'is' easy mode for raids. Nothing is hard to figure out, its not impossible to kill with 20+ deaths, the only way to insta wipe is if you fall from the floor breaking, but after seeing that one time that should literally never happen again because its telegraphed so you know its coming. As people have already said if you find it too hard, its optional you never need to do it. If you want to do it, learn your job. It says you are a Red Mage and I'm willing you wager you are just standing in place casting or running around not casting neither of these things is ideal. You need to get use to movement and slide casting so you don't get hit by everything a fight throws at you. Take the time to practice on a training dummy or in a dungeon, but don't sit here trying to be a keyboard warrior of light and complain when you don't put in any effort.
