Ive still never done any current-expansion savages I should probably try to get around to that at some point; I dont like the pressure that Id imagine comes with progging them at release, but presumably I could handle them with 530 gear and echo... If you're comfortable progging extremes at release, the first two floors of any given Savage tier aren't much harder. Typically the first floor is about as complex as an EX just with a higher DPS check and one harder mechanic. Second floor will increase that slightly but occasionally they will push one mechanic too far (hello E2S final phase and E10S towers). Still, you don't even typically need a static to do them and pugs can clear them on release just fine. Things don't get truly wild until the 3rd or 4th floors. I think Savage raiding has a more intimidating reputation than it actually deserves because it USED to be that way in 3.0-3.3 era, but ever since Stormblood they have done a really good job of easing people into it with the difficulty and have also streamlined the game in numerous other ways. --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! <cite>HeroDelTiempo17 posted [p:957617910] in FFXIV Topi...
