This was my first blind/day 1 progging stuff, the experience initially was really fun until we hit P2....which led to frustrations. I thought it's just day 1 thing, I joined a PF that had discord required because you're more likely to prog in a somewhat organized environment. I'd always go for that though I personally prefer the non-commitment of PF, however you'll be held back alot. I don't mind prog on smaller scale but 24 man is hard to manage, people might leave and you reprog again. You need your alliance to execute stuff to prog but you also need other alliance not to blow up their towers.

I think these are growing pains of day 1. Mechanically after sitting on it, I don't think it's that hard, what makes it hard is the body checks imo...

I was really excited to prog this in PF....I even dreamt I was progging it today, I was struggling with some stuff yesterday but I made some /echo macros to help me abit.....I woke up only to see alot of P2 groups are locked to ilv725...I only have ilv723 right now which put a damper on my spirits. I can execute things fairly well up until the swap/spreads, I never saw beyond that because at that point usually people are dead and you can get double hit from spreads which kills you.

I enjoyed the times when our alliance is executing things perfectly but then PF disbands cause 1 guy leaves...

I can see RDM/BRD being frequent picks in this raid, especially RDM.

For now I'm just disappointed that people are ilvl locking it and seeing people advocate for like clearing savage for this when this isn't even beyond savage. The only content locked behind savage and rightfully so is Ultimate. I see people locking high ilvls for Sphene because of laws of ice, I understand why people want/do that, but it feels like if you're requiring 'only raiders who cleared current content' can join us it's abit telling that perhaps the mechanics are abit too unforgiving. (or just PF in general is bad)
