I like that the video is about content a lot of people consider as scary (may it be due to burden, mechanics, fear of underperforming, etc) and he's starting it by trotting on a cute shiba. This is what he means by 'my humor is special' but also, good job on de-dramatzing savage from the get-go!
I don't even know why I am here I'm still in A Realm Reborn but I love your videos!
babe wake up a new WeskAlber vid just dropped
I appreciate this video, but for people like me, it's more about finding like-minded people like myself who can only do it on weekends on servers that don't usually raid, it's most likely impossible.
Great video as always!
DawnTrail will be my first day 1 savage experience. Your videos helped me a lot understanding the jobs and the game as a newbie, thank you!
This is really useful! I remember being super intimidated when I first was interested in doing Savage content. Your "Preparing for Savage: Gearing" video from last year was a tremendous help back then! I went on to clear Anabaseios as my first savage tier, and I cleared UWU with my static last week. I hope people new to raiding will find this video and give it a try too.
Thank you for the video! So far my only raiding experiences have been MINE extremes and clearing UWU in PF about a month ago, so I'm not familiar with the endgame gearing experience. This gave me a helpful overview of what to expect in Dawntrail. Now I know what people mean when they talk about weekly reclears lol
Regarding potions, if you want to practice with them in your rotation feel free to put any low level one in the hotbar slot you'll use for the real deal. Doesn't matter what stat or strength, just get something cheap and you'll at least train yourself to press the button at the right time for when you get the good stuff.
Someone left a comment about this on a previous video, really glad to see you doing it, amazing stuff as always dude!
This is a super solid foundation especially for the gear part, I remember I was real confused when starting to raid, so glad to see an explanation of the different types of gear to use!
I’ve always been afraid to try out savages because of the time investment, the potential commitment to a static, possibility of drama, and the fact that none of my friends are interested in them. However, at this point in my 14 career, I’ve basically done absolutely everything else, combat-wise, and we’ve still got a significant gap until Dawntrail. It’s either savage, or Necromancer, I think…
Sure I’ll try savage, when I’m level 220 13 expansions from now.
My advice is, do savage if you want to have fun with the fight. If you do it because you want gear, not worth your time. Glamour? just wait next expansion, you can unsync it ezpz. If you're doing it for item level, that is worse. Just wait for augmented crafted gear and tome gear. I quit savage and only do ex and chilling in eureka now. I am a party finder enjoyer, but sometimes it's just a pain and stress. Getting punished is not fun and savage is about punishment. It's either, solo, duo or large scale content for me. Large scale is fun, feels like, you know, MMORPG. It's good Yoshida has repented and bringing it back. No stupid echo like bozja please.
I don't think it was mentioned in the video but for those wanting to get into savage and are going the PF route, it's probably best to DC travel to Aether (for NA, not sure for other regions). I imagine Primal, Crystal, and heck even Dynamis will have some PFs for savage at the beginning of the tier but as time goes on everything eventually shifts to Aether.
I've met quite a few people on Crystal who just assumed no one was doing savage anymore because crystal pf is so dead. Though who knows, maybe something will change with Dawntrail.
what is An A Nidhogg
To anyone trying savage or whatever hard fights they attempt at first. Respect the content and peoples time. Aka bring food for your class, have your gear melded, (2 melds, don't worry about anything mlre if you're in crafted gear.) And have some what respectable item level for said content. For current savage 640 is fine. Another one that I recommend, have a basic understanding of your classes opener/rotation. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT, just have an idea of what your rotation is. Go train on a striking dummy for a while if you need to! It goes a long way. People WILL help you if they see you're trying to learn.
I did my first savage yesterday (p4s). At first, mechanics were overwhelming, but you get used to it really quickly. In the end it was a lot of fun!
fflogs also has a built in looking for static/guild feature ! if you try out savage and have some logs under your belt, it may be a good place to check !
The issue I have is that there is no communication for these. You either watch a video prior or "kys trash and uninstall." Just stuff I can't handle. I always wanted to try it, but so many times I was told to uninstall because I didn't want to watch an hour long guide explaining the butthair detail of a mechanic. Yes, a skill issue on my end but I want to be surprised!
