post-Dawntrail even story dungeons are harder and more punishing to heal than ever

[EponaTBHSMH]

thank you for being somewhat mroe reasonable than the people who have been so mean and judgemental... i've only been focusing on optimizing and stuff because i want to be better prepared for when i finish the msq because i don't want to "miss out" on endgame like i did in endwalker due to struggling making grouping for the harder stuff more difficult...I just.... want to be better prepared for the actual endgame this time... and i feel like if i can't even get good results in xivanalysis in a dungeon... what possible hope do i have to not miss out or not be allowed to take part in endgame again?

What good is it to clear a dungeon if I didn't "really" clear it because my uptime was low and i didn't pull my weight? these are the best ways i can describe my fears, especially given that dungeons are a lot harder than they were in the previous expansion.

maybe i just have a skewed sense of priorities and i'll just keep what you said in mind after I.... step away from thes discussion to cool my head... i deleted the unlisted video because the harassment was getting too bad...

I can relate with you due to the fact that I was interested in savage before I started playing this game, along with what people above me have said you also need a good deal of patience.

I started playing this game during Creator, the last raid tier of Heavensward.
At the time I was a DPS so the context might not be exactly the same but when I reached the endgame and finally found a group to do savage with, I was awful at the game.

I was awful at DPSing I was getting hit by mechanics, I was dying, I perpetuated the dragoon floor tank meme from back then, but I still persevered in finding groups, despite my poor performances, because the endgame was really what interested me back then I did not want to miss out.

I can assure you that it's only during the middle of stormblood, almost a year later that I started being comfortable with savage, despite doing my rotations fine in dungeons.

My point is you might be setting up these standards for yourself this high before the endgame to prepare but the best place to get better at savage is in savage. Because even while in savage you will still be a work in progress, you'll still be getting better there despite any preparation you make in dungeons and that is okay, so please please just chill in dungeon content
