Difficulty of normal content.

[Maalik]

Why would you even think about doing savage content? Clearly if you didn't enjoy the difficulty of normal content then you're not going to enjoy the difficulty of savage. That's the whole point of doing savage. Don't spend months of your life learning fights and dying over and over if you're already having a rough time with normal content. Not all content is made for everyone and that's ok.

I dont know why you feel the need to try to dunk, but I clearly said in the post I wanted to try savage for the first time before the expansion dropped, and seeing these new raids I have changed my mind about it. So I dont see the point of your comment at all. Also, I never said anywhere that I didnt enjoy it, nor did I say it was too hard. So please sit down.

Also I was doing the raids through partyfinder, so I cant control the groups I got, but yes people were fighting in the 4th raid.

I didnt say anything but my opinion on annoying instances and I also said I am a relatively new player, so the need to be a dick as if I took a side on some debate is wild. Like I literally said it probably just takes practice and time for people to get it better at them.

I checked your original post, and honestly, you should just find a casual raid group and do savage if you want to do it. The best way to improve is by pushing yourself, and if you know what you are in for (a lot of wiping in a group where you can hopefully have fun chatting and hanging out while you wipe and get better each time) then you absolutely 100% should just do it. Doing savage has made extremes, and normal content feel like a breeze to me. Doing ultimates made me feel so much more comfortable in savage after adjusting to the faster pace of ultimates. Doing extremes and savage is the path to being a better player, so long as you keep an open mind and have a growth mentality.

I would avoid feeling discouraged. I honestly think a lot of the time normal mode raids feel a LOT more chaotic and confusing than their savage versions, because savage is a lot tighter and you know what to expect, whereas normal modes have a tendency to very quickly fall apart. I've been tripped up in normal modes all the time because I was too used to the savage version lol.

In any case, don't really pay attention to anyone being dismissive of you. The only people worth being dismissive of in these threads are the ones complaining about difficulty while refusing to actually even consider learning and improving as a player. I hope you give savage a shot and have a lot of fun! PF can be a rough place so finding a group of similarly experienced/minded players on somewhere like the balance discord server is likely the ideal way to start. There should be lots of groups recruiting right now, and it's the perfect time to jump in.

I was hoping to try out savage for the first time with these raids, but I don't think I will be able to try out savage now just because of how difficult it already was for me.

Uh... Sounds like it was too hard for your liking.

I'm not sure why you think someone voicing their opinion to your post is them trying to "dunk" on you or being a "dick". No need to be so defensive. All I said was:

1. Solo instances aren't that hard and you should try to figure out what's going wrong if you're losing on "very easy".
2. If you're playing with people complaining about dying in normal content you should avoid them. Most healers enjoy that they have to hit their healing buttons more in the new content.
3. Why would your reaction to the normal content change how you feel about doing savage? If you don't enjoy difficulty, don't do savage.

First of all, I'm sorry you did the normal raids in party finder. I wouldn't recommend doing them that way. They're not that hard and PF people tend to be weird. And maybe you're under the impression that the difficulty of normal mode effects savage? That's really not the case. They're two completely different beasts. They might have a couple twists on similar mechanics in the normal fight but you really can't compare them at all.
