Glad the wow raiders are getting fucking filtered by content that actually requires you to think.

Not really hard to watch a, at the most, 15 minute video guide on some of these raids and ex trials while Mizzteq explains mechanics in a clear and concise way with plenty of dad jokes. I find her videos very helpful and enjoyable.

It's funny because at some point, Naguura even observes to herself/her chat that she thinks it would be best from now on to research a fight before going into it.
Of course she doesn't tell the rest of the raid this either, considering they wanted to be "go hard, big dick, big blind" challengers of XIV's raid scene so badly.

I love it. My static and all the high end players I know think it's hilarious. It's like watching a child acting like an astronaut. You know it's never gonna happen for real, but it's cute to watch them pretend.

Did Naguura did the regular Titania trial before?
if she isn't, well she needs to learn it because 3 hours for not figuring out that chain = go far away ASAP is very painful to watch

>tfw a group of Crystal pubs did better at Titania EX than these clowns
It might be the only Extreme I cleared but it felt good knowing that even the mouth-breathers on Crystal could do better.

Soon done with all the ARR endgame content. I was wondering why Navel Extreme had a reputation as a pug killer, realized quickly it's because you can't be resurrected if you get pushed off the platform, so no "oppsie woppsie" resses.
Also fully cleared Second Coil of Bahamut with pugs. Wondering if I should do the rest with unsynched party finder. I'm starting to realize I got lucky clearing turn 3 and turn 4 of second coil with pugs and with just one wipe each.
Also it seems to really help in ARR content to just tell people to stop worrying about DPS and focus on mechanics. Everyone is over geared as it is, and after wiping four times to the medusa boss in turn 2 of second coil it seemingly helped to just tell people to pay more attention to their debuff than doing their rotation perfectly, and just run away rather than trying to win extra seconds of DPS.
A lot of people seem to be entering old trials and raids worried about DPS checks.

Tbh, there's not a lot of dps checks in the game barring extreme trials, ultimates and savages. Everything else doesn't care about dps, you can take as long as you want granted you're able to do it within the time the duty gives you.
I will say though as an experienced extreme pugger, almost all extremes have a hard enrage at around the 11 minute mark. If you can't kill the boss before then, it's a wipe. So you can't just flail your way through and get carried because more often than not, if you're not pulling your weight, you're dragging the rest of the party down and you're preventing a clear from actually happening if you don't improve. It's very much a case of, if you're a weak link, then everyone will feel it and no matter how many times you do the fight, you're gonna never clear or maybe squeeze one in out of pure luck and either the party will run out of time and disband, or it'll disband instantly after that sloppy clear. In japan, they are even more cut throat. If they sense you're holding everyone back, they'll just boot you without a word and replace you with someone who isn't a retard.
In all the vids I recorded of the Shadowbringers extreme fights, I shit you not, there were 1-2 deaths in every single one of them. Every. Single. One. And all those pug groups were formed of people who had previously cleared or farmed to some degree. On one had doing extremes in pugs can be fun, even relaxing at times when I just zone out and there will be days where I can get as many as 10 clears in, but some days you'll get party after party of pepegas and you'd have spent your entire day having your time wasted by people who are really bad at the game.
Man extremes have really fucked my head, I could write a book about it's horrors.

They all would've had to. Skips only go to 70 and Titania normal is required story content.
Granted, they were probably carried.

I believe Shadowbringers normal trials have started to implement an enrage timer as well. It's just very generous and you should almost never hit it unless your party is a total sped.
Yes I hit Titania Normal enrage a few times during 5.0, why do you ask?

I looked at the comments for that video. Instant cringe in a cup. One commenter says that these people are making art. It's just emotes in a video game.
The modding scene is known for stealing stuff from people. I don't think the GShade people even respect the basic Reshade BSD license.
Betting people are mad about the Cruise Chaser mount. My feed has been full of that for 2 days. Can't say I care much about a mount being in the cash shop.
Saw one dude farmed 99 ultimate totems because he thought he'd get the mount that way.

but MUH DEEEPS, you don't wanna parse like a scrub, do you?
it really depends, you can still wipe on stuff you have on farm because too many people were halfassing it, distracted or just doing dumb shit. happens. then you start over and it's usually smooth sailing from that point onward.
on progress dying is pretty much inevitable, the question is what you learn from it. dunno how FF14 raids handle it, but I had groups (in another game) that wiped intentionally to really drill the mechanic into people's head, like if you fail a phase transition that's what you repeat even if you manage to do it once. the idea is that once you have the basics down, all you have to do is optimize the execution, and that's a lot easier if you're not constantly dying to dumb shit you missed or ignored.
it also works much better for morale, even if you don't kill it that day you can still see obvious progress when you get the boss lower and lower each try.
personally it's also one reason I don't get triggered as hard by low dps as other people. every fight has more or less hard number you have to hit, I don't care if the boss dies 20 seconds faster, so even if you have someone "holding the group back", if on average someone else can make up for that dps (which is usually the case, be it better gear, class etc.) the outcome will be the same. add the approach form above where people will inevitably get better over time given the right conditions and even progress raids become a lot less stressful, bonus it filters out the sweaties that only think in numbers above all else.

You can only make up so much for other people's low DPS in XIV in my experience. As in, you hit a point where your weakest member needs to AT LEAST be pulling average or as close to average as possible numbers or else you won't be clearing the fight.
That doesn't mean a progression group should forsake doing mechanics safely and properly for the sake of hitting damage. Everyone just needs to learn to optimize as much as possible in what windows they can manage throughout the duration of a fight.

Is there anything more satisfying than a retarded insecure tank that spams provoke and gets half the raid cleaved who then turns the stance off and is dead silent for the rest of an alliance raid? It's the little things.
- Registrado

Yes, one who doesn't cleave multiple people or fight over aggro like a sped. If I'm tanking and someone wants to fight over it, go ahead. I'll kick my feet up, it's no skin off my nose. Though I'll admit it is super irritating when a tank that is smooth-brained grabs aggro then proceeds to eat every single mechanic.. but hey. They gotta learn somehow, eventually they'll realize why they're licking the floor tiles.

I had a normal Seat of Sacrifice with a sprout tank that was new to the fight so I popped on tank stance while they were in the cutscene. The fight began and I started us off. This jackass turns on their stance on and started fighting for aggro with me. I voked to end the fight and they told me "not to waste provoke" like it's a limited resource. They then proceeded to bitch and complain about the transition and shit on the fight when other sprouts were expressing their excitement. I didn't respond to their shit because I'm positive it's what they wanted.
