I need 19 more clears, I thought I wanted to learn other positions/strats, but I genuinely want to get this done before guides ruin PF, I genuinely don't want to reprog this fight. I want to get my shit and get out. I'm familiar enough to actually do call outs and teach it but the fight is genuinely exhausting.

I personally didn't clear this raid tier, alot of farm groups are 730 and I can't meet that ilvl, perhaps when you gate people who didn't do the current tier you might get a better pool, but that's not the PF experience for smth in the range of ilv725+. You'd be on some copium to think that PF that gatekeeps through ilvl alone is the same as something else. If it is for you, then it's not the case in my experience on Light/EU.

Can you clear in PF? Sure.
Can you farm in PF? Maybe.

My experience? It's just towers prog. People seemingly don't know how to do towers after swap and it's just a fiesta after.

I think this brings the worst in people, I've seen lovely PFs with descriptions like 'don't join if you're not mentally developed' and people asking for 5+ clears (which tbh fair) but sweaty checking logs and kicking people who don't have enough clears. I don't blame them because funny enough the later was farming. At least it felt like someone respected 23 other people's time even though it wasn't nice.

There's potential in Chaotic, the fight is fun when you actually are farming it, it's not hard. I wouldn't say it's as fast as sphene or any savage I did. The body check and how deaths can snowball is what makes it hard, it's unforgiving at certain points.

If only people knew how to make their debuffs BIGGER to where they can see it and maybe while at it make the boss's castbar to 180% or something and slap it in the middle of the screen...refresh after every mechanic.

I don't even want to help people clear anymore cause there's people who join to prog and grief in those parties. It's frustrating. I love helping, but I also don't love suffering for 2+ hours and no clear.
I agree with everything you've stated here.

However, despite me being an ultimate raider, I cannot for the life of me clear in PF. Idk if people are straight up griefing joining on classes they aren't comfortable on or in alliances they aren't comfortable being in. It's been nothing but frustration for me trying to get a clear. I've seen enrage at least 10 plus times now and the groups I'm in break right after the enrage pull. As much as I think the raid is easy, I personally believe it's to hard for PF as a whole.

I've honestly decided to throw my hands up in defeat and walk away from chaotic, the time and frustration imo isn't worth the effort for a clear. I'd rather put my time and energy into FRU and DSR.
