Don't do chaotic raid again

Honestly you probably would have fewer arguments against yourself if you stopped with words like "slackers" or "just want to be carried" for the non savage raiders.

I have yet to see people who don't at least try to give their best in this fight. Most know what to do but have still some problems executing it because quite frankly the mechanics themself are unforgiving to solve or at least some of them like towers, the following attack when you have no room to move or the tipptoeing of pairs in the tower mechanic to get the proximity attack.

Also yes this fight is on savage difficulty and not Ex.
The Producer said so and as someone who has done quite a number of savage I also think so.
It is harder than P1S and P2S for example and imo harder than E9S (was that the CoD one?) as a good compraistion.
As someone who has last raided in EW I would put it on P3S difficulty personally minus the firestorm-knockback mechanic because that was just cancer and even P3S gave me more breathing room in between.
It is definitely harder than Golbez at least.

At the end of the day like I already said and what i can agree with you: The raid itself is fun, like really fun.
It is good content if you raid higher difficulty content but even the japanese players are starting to wonder for whom this whole thing was actually designed given the rewards and the starting ilvl seem to imply catch up content for those who DON'T do savage.

Right now you start to get ilvl lockouts (poor me stupidly bought the wrong upgrade item) because people realised that the enrage is not as forgiving as it seemed in streamer videos with their bis gear.

Edit:
And that what this fight should have been.
Giving players the change to get the courage to try the harder content. That encourages them to give their best, fail and learn from it.
But these are just the typical high end Ex to mid Savage sheningan mechanics Ozma is so proud of.
Extremely obtuse to lean, punishing and partly frustrating with so many people.
We just got YET ANOTHER end raid content with a boss and a arena. Truly the thing DT needed after Ex, Savage and Ultimate in a row.
With a hairstly from a DESIGN CONTEST to boot lmao.

If I read this one forum post correctly the original designer of the hairstyle cant even get it.
Thats... pretty sad.

Just wanted to refute this point. There are logs of clears with over 21 deaths and over 70 damage downs. That seems pretty forgiving to me.
