  1. Tesleen's LC does low dmg, has no vuln or needs all 4 players to resolve. True LC are savage/ultimate only.
    Edit: have to correct myself. EW Ex5 has true LC, but the fight is so boring I sometimes forget it exists. As well as LC appears very late into the fight were good groups could skip it day 1, thus rarely seen.

  2. I only know a lot of stuff about skills in the game due to outside sources like Wesk Alber and how he calmly explains every single skill, half the time when I ask people in game I got different unclear answers on how stuff works, but guides like his that explains stuff to new players who may be new to mmos in general need to be made more. Most guides are assuming you have all the knowledge even though as you said its very vague in the game to know what to do with a lot of the skills. There is a limit to how much people can help, its true. But the issue im seeing is not enough people are actually putting that extra mile to make it digestible for players like the ones I mentioned like Wesk is, if that makes any sense.

  3. Rewrite to a previous comment after gathering my thoughts: Lately there's been a widening of the gap between casuals and raiders. The biggest thing to keep in mind though, is that the raiders who're complaining are a vocal minority. There's a lot of raiders who are pretty okay with the changes the game has gone through, they learn and adapt and keep moving forward. There's also casuals, who couldn't care less about what's going on in the raiding world, but have been brought into the mix by the vocal minority of raiders who have been blaming the casuals for the "sad state of the game". There are plenty of casuals who are fine with trying out the harder stuff, as long as they have the drive for it and maybe some of the tools that not every player has (such as an FC with raiders or a friend to help get them into it). Some players might have the skills to dip their toe into harder content, but have social anxiety and don't want to just hop into PF willy-nilly to do the content with randoms. Sure, that's a "THEM Problem", but saying that doesn't invalidate the situation. Some players might have disabilities that prevent them from doing the complex content in Extremes and Savages or even learning their rotation, and they either decide to steer clear of it or they face ridicule by the hardcore raiders who ARE toxic about everything needing to go exactly as they need it for the run. All in all, this is a nuanced topic that, in any reaction vid or even explanation vid, we can only give our opinions but should really avoid blanket statements or generalizations. We don't know what's going on behind that other person's screen, maybe it's not about them getting good, maybe it's something a little deeper that stops them from doing it, and the Toxic Raiders don't care about that, they want the game only to cater to them and their wants. It's not always as black and white as saying "Just do it, it's easy".

  4. I disagree a bit on people explaining mechanics. I think its the opposite problem sometimes. As a friend ive been taking through hard content gets overwhelmed by the information presented in the videos. He didnt want a detailed explanation of the mechanics and events, he wanted a simplified solution to know how to resolve the mechanic. When the video starts talking about quadrants, mechanic resolution, debuffs and I had to break it down as "just move here for this".

    So yeah explaining limit cut is one thing, but I actually think sometimes unnecessary exposition trying to explain whats happening for a mechanic actually scares them off becauase it sounds so hard… but the answer is just "go there at x time".
