Small note for meteors! Jumping off the map once you have your meteor tether but with enough time for your body to appear means that it will go towards wherever your body is, and likely hit the meteor on the south edge - so if you're planning to jump, do it at the last moment, or preferably just make your tether too short and die. For smaller parties, or if people are dead before meteors, Zeromus will only spawn as many meteors as there are living players - so if you have 5 living players when it starts, it'll spawn 4 meteors, they'll fall, then one bonus meteor which has a lot of freedom to place! With 5 we required a paladin to invuln and cover the healer stack (as there are simultaneously two tank busters and two dps point blanks who cannot stack so the fifth member was all alone), and it was 50/50 with towers later on whether we'd get pair stacks (wipes you) or spreads (perfectly fine!), though with 20% echo 5 of us could kill before the flare towers (sparking/branding, forget which is which), and that was back at 690 - might be better now even with undersized parties. Very glad to hear that 720 is a threshold for skipping meteors - I'll probably take my FC through it again once next patch is out with more gear, as most of them aren't savage raiding.
i hate this, it takes months to get a full set of 720 gear for 1 job type, at least if i give up now, and wait until the next update, should be able to get gear that is 720+ then i can finally get this shit done.

just learn one more mechanic setting ur party to 720 for last expansions extremes is crazy. Not everyone does savage.
on some DCs it just means you won't ever fill that party
