    Man lots of good points. Especially love you mention TEA and UCoB as choices for 1st (seen mad lads go for TOP 1st).
    But man the comment you said with statics. It’s easy to find one, but hard to find a good one.
    I joined one for TOP, and while I was having bad DPS (rotation issues that no one pointed out for over a month which I fixed in a day after I found out), I was kicked . Rest group stuck together despite I was the most consistent. And like I mean stuff was bad like seeing us hit P4, only next weeks we never pass P3 due to mechanical failure.
    But one thing I will say to any wannabe raider, don’t give up. People only get to the top from numerous failures. I have 23 TOP kills, but I got there from 6 months of progging.
    I was stuck in P5 prog due to pf memes but someone I had touched base before helped me in my time of need and help me prog and beat TOP. And it ignited my love for ultimate raiding. I went for more kills so I could be confident to help others. I did the other 3 ultimates (UCoB, TEA, DSR) despite saying I wasn’t going to, and being especially afraid of DSR.
    The dream is never dead so long you keep going, people gonna push you down, but you can push past them. I know I was ASTATIC to see my old static leader and another in the group were still stuck on P5 Delta when I cleared several times.

      Having the mental fortitude to push past obstacles like this is such a powerful thing, and is why I wanted to make it a focus, since from what I've seen, it's not a topic that's talked about nearly enough, and this is an example of why it's so important. Glad things worked out in the end! 😁

    I know this is a video on Ultimate raiding but your advice would be quite helpful for people getting into savage too, especially the mindset stuff! I'm currently aiming to clear M4S and I've noticed that I tend to tense up near the end due to stressing over mechanics far in advance and messing up the one I'm currently doing. I'm not quite at Ultimate level yet but I hope to be one day and I'll keep your advice in mind when i do!

      You do raise a good point, and is something I actually forgot to mention in the video (oopsie lol), since there are people who are intimidated by Savage as well. Good luck on that M4S clear, and hope things go well if you do ever tackle Ultimate! 😁

    You don't actually need gemdraughts for the older Ultimates as potions have a cap, so be sure to check the mb, might be able to get away with some cheaper potions for them.

    This is a great video, but there are two points I'd like to make as someone who raids in XIV, and I feel like you hinted at them, but didn't fully say:
    1) You can do any of this content in the game without knowing anything beforehand!! People do it all the time when things are first released, don't feel like you can't because it's old content. But if you do wish to do something blind, be VERY clear with everyone that is your intention, and I would highly recommend finding others who are also likeminded, or have an insane patience tolerance. You are generally expected to know how to do the fight when joining a prog group, so if you are trying to go blind into something, don't join general parties because they WILL expect more of you than you know. (Also if you're doing general prog, don't get angry when joining blind parties, especially if they warned you

    Finding a good static started to seem like just an impossible thing for me.
    I tried it. I cleared TEA in a static and didn't have a good time at all. I was constantly annoyed by endless and pointless yapping and was incredibly glad that it was over.
    Managed to prog like 2 phases of dsr with them and then just dipped. Couldn't take that anymore. Tried finding another. After a couple of tryouts i just gave up. Seems like statics are just not my thing. They are way too restrictive for me and i am stuck with same people for a long time. I am not a very social person and turns out u gotta...talk to people when you are in a static. This is most definitely a "me" problem and is not indicative of anything other than my own hurdles but still. I bet there are people with the same low level of tolerance for talking.
    Ended up clearing the rest of the Ultimate roster in PF and i don't regret a thing. Yes DSR took 4 months, yes TOP took 1.5. But that was at my own pace when i want and i always could just leave and find another group. The whole Pentalegend thing took me almost precisely 1 year with a lot of pauses and breaks but it is completely doable in PF.

    On a quick note, you can pf FRU on release but dont expect to clear phase 1 or 2 for a bit because skill issues of pf. If you are dead set on FRU 1st ult i suggest watchinh streamers povs contantly so that you see what is in the future when pf gets there.

    I have been working on de-rusting DSR, my old static fell apart at p6 Wroth and have been slowly getting back to my prog point in PF. I really hope for those lucky PFs so that I can get back to p6 and get the clear before FRU releases.

  • @adonisdarkblade
    @adonisdarkblade 3 дні тому +8

    Very much disagree with your point regarding statics where you say "don't kick them out if they're learning more slowly than everyone else". If a member is dragging everyone else down, and they are not living up to the prog expectations that the group decided on before starting the fight, then a change in roster is absolutely warranted.
    The slower player will, over time, become frustrated with themselves, and the rest of the group will likely become resentful of that player. I have seen statics fall apart because the raid lead was too afraid to kick the bad player and the rest of the group decided staying was not worth their time. It's kind of like amputating a finger to save the hand.

    • @KamuiBushida
      @KamuiBushida  3 дні тому +5

      this is a good point. I should have elaborated more on "if someone isn't living up to the group's expectations for x, y, or z reason, then a roster change might need to happen". The point was mainly if, say, someone is struggling on Party Synergy for example, but learning the rest of the fight isn't a huge deal, then you wouldn't want to be upset with them immediately just because Party Synergy took longer than they anticipated. Regardless, you are right, if it's a *constant* issue which drags everyone else down, then something should happen. That's on me for not being more clear on that front.

      @momentoyal930 3 дні тому +1

      i guess, but I have cleared every ultimate spread out between 4 different statics that started with plenty of fresh proggers. ig what im saying is I've never ran into a legitimate performance problem with a player, at least not nearly as much as I run into other problems (particularly drama, the high end raiding community is a magnet for it)

    • @Diddz
      @Diddz 2 дні тому +2

      personally for me, things like this discourages me from getting into ultimates in the first place as it makes me feel like i have to have mastered the encounter mechanically before even progging it to begin with which is a paradox. But i guess thats how groups roll. (I'm more afraid of the playerbase than the content's challenge itself)

    • @DrZlow
      @DrZlow 2 дні тому +2

      @@Diddz you are taking it to an extreme. Don't do that. We are talking about static, right?
      There are people that genuinelly drag others down. This issue is not obvious from the start. Almost never. You don't know if you will or will not be a bad performer. Everyone learns at own pace. And i feel like to be kicked from the static you have to be especially slow. There are people like that but to almost automatically put yourself in that basket before even trying is not a smart move. You might surprise yourself :)
      Of course the gradation of a "slow progger" varies from group to group but it is still hardly the reason to outright not giving it a fair try.
      This type of content is way too fulfilling to complete :)

      @@DiddzI dont know if this tip is for you, but because of my scuffed work times I cant play in a static. PF or some player can be toxic, I know that cause I cleared all Ults except UWU in PF. Dont rush things, if you need 100 Pulls for TOP Pantokrator, its absolutely fine. My best advice would be to open your own PF and say sonething like: *Progpoint*, chill Prog or something. I know it may look like its not possible to clear an Ultimate as an Ult Sprout, but its easier then you think. And try to accept help from players helping etc. I dont know your DC, but on EU we have LPDU and I just use it for Guide looking and strat discussion when I dont understand a mech :)

    For Unlocking the fights:
    O4S and O8S dont need a full party of 8, a party of 4 should be enough!
    E4S also doesn't need a full party, did it with 5 recently but with 2 tanks 3 dps so 1 tank 4 dps may be fine!
    P4S if you're unlocking in PF, bump up the Item Level a bit past 710, maybe to 720. I cannot stress enough that people need to know how to do damage to skip Act 2.
    P8S having damage to skip the second set of first animals is nice, but doesn't really help with Phase 2 since you have to do HC1 all the time currently.

E4S is doable even with like 4 people if u have at least 1 tank and probably a healer, just takes a while, so yeah 5 with 1 tank 4 dps is the best way rn

    Very solid and accurate video.
    For context, I did ucob in pf and top in a static.
    PF for UCOB was fine, but prog lying yourself so you can weed out people who are prog skipping to the advertised mechanic is very true. As an example prog skipping past Quickmarch and Heavensfall so you'll actually see a bit of prog. And filling party every 3 or so days, because for some reason people weren't joining.
    Studying mechanics and watching POV is mandatory so you're hopefully not blacklisted by the other people progging/helping. It took me somewhere between a month to 2 months of trying to secure a clear during 6.3.
    For contrast TOP in a static was pretty good. First couple of raid nights was unlocking and farming BIS from Abyssos. And then progging, getting mechanics explained with watching a guide for couple hours a week. There were some frustrations, some days were we were stuck on an earlier mechanic for some reason (sigma towers). And for it taking 3 months to clear, I think it was decently fast. But honestly, for a first static there was no drama, and minimal arguments. The environment was chill, and good to be in. Surprising to me that is apparently very hard to achieve :(

    when i finished ARR a few years back, i did coils unsynced like everyone else that does it...but i wanted to experience it synced. so i joined PFs (cause free trial cant make them) as i seen them for fight order, not randomly. overall it wasnt TOO bad for most of the fights. (i main healer, been doing them as SCH)
    T1-4 are piss easy, T5 gave some issues but overall we beat it with my first group before the timer ran out. T6 was fine, T7 is where issues started happening.
    T7 is the medusa snake lady fight where she gives 3 players a gaze mechanic where they need to look away from the group....first few groups just never looked at their damn debuffs making it basically impossible to beat. this is where i learned to make buffs/debuffs large and in the middle of my screen, best decision of my life!
    the group that i beat T7 with we did coms in discord and then went on to do T8 as well, beat it relatively quickly due to having coms. then we come to T9...
    T9 nearly broke me, not because im a bad player (although im so bad with divebombs) but because EVERY god damn PF i joined to try and clear, there were always those inconsistencies between groups where some groups were terrible with even the first set of meteors, some groups could reliably get to heavensfall but then constantly get destroyed by the 3 elements/divebombs. it was a nightmare. it took me probably a year of joining random PFs, dozens of them, to clear T9.
    shout out to the raid leader who had macros for everything, beat it in like 3 or 4 pulls with that group. this group we then went onto T10, took a few tried but did it pretty quickly then we had to stop cause it was getting late.
    T11 took a few tries each and thats where i am currently. havent seen a single PF for T12 and only a couple for T13 since i finished T11 for like...7 months? granted i play in Crystal so the raiding scene isnt as popular there. just having to move back and forth between data centers is annoying so i dont really do it
    TLDR: PF is 100% inconsistent just like the video said for T9 coils
