Our channel Discord had a community content night where me and one other current Savage player took a group of new raiders into P5S. Comedy certainly ensued, but also they proved that Savage really isn’t that bad! Tackling the mental block is by far the hardest part of getting into Final Fantasy XIV raiding, so don’t be scared! Just learn to laugh at your own mistakes, as all eight people here did. 🙂
This was obviously a bit different from my usual “scripted” content, but we’ll be back to that stuff next week!

PRAISE BE o/
Thanks for hosting Specstre! Had a blast during it and learned a lot, looking forward to seeing how the rest of the nights go!
super fun content night! also that ninja was awesome
no way!! i'm in a specstre video !!!!!!!!!!!!
this was a great time, can't wait for more content nights (i can forgive your past transgressions now)
Wow that Jakk guy is really cool and never makes any mistakes, his glam is also super cool
Just found this channel I’m new and it’s hilarious I love it
I paused the anime I was watching when Discord dinged me about this video, and then I watched it, right away. I didn't just save it for later like normal. I watched it and now I'm writing a comment, which is rare because I prefer to remain a lurker. Maybe you're secretly a primal, hard to say. Maybe it's the threats compelling me to type and show outward support of your content? Idk. But your videos are hilarious and informative and not a single one has disappointed me thus far. This one also didn't disappoint, even though it was slightly less intentionally educational. Ya'll made the savage content and even the dying look….enjoyable and fun?! I've been amazed by the community you've built, genuinely. As a shy mmo player the only reason I've wanted to get into any kind of difficult FFXIV content is for the mounts, minions, and glams (ofc). I assumed if I went down that route I'd be subjecting myself to the ridicule of jaded, miserable veteran players who would make me cry. (Like in other games). Especially as a healer. But when I pop into your Discord the vets are appropriately snarky at times, as is their right, without ever being mean to anyone. Everyone's helpful. Your videos with all the quality of life tips for HUD and mechanics and random sh- have helped me feel almost sane while healing. I thought I might just use Duty Support forever, but I've been queuing up with actual players, not even just when MSQ makes me. I o/ to people in my party and in my FC. I can keep NPC and reg players mostly alive now, without holding my breath for the entire dungeon, only the boss fights. I don't know who I am anymore, but in a good way. So, thank you, and good job.
Ok, I will like the goddamn video, but not because you threatened me
Ngl P5S is kinda tricky for first raid, i find P6S and P7S easier lol
‘Twas fun witnessing on discord. Waiting for the EU party
I did not expect my stupidity to make it to YouTube. Thank you.
You didn't scream at people who made mistakes or harp on them for gray parse or kick them out for the group for not being superb right off the bat?
That's not how my experiences with savage raiding went, and my group actually cleared P1S.
Rather than drop stance you can just shirk. That can also help. Use a macro to automatically target party member <2> (the co-tank) and shirk on them
And then 50% of the party was blacklisted for not clearing 😛
beautiful. only savage / endgame video i've ever watched
This is a really fun way to include sprouts in a really intimidating part of the game! I love seeing these kinds of highlights, makes me want to start savage raiding too!
Speaking of which, I’ve been noticing that Kwehlo’s sheen as grown dull, you’re using that chocobo shampoo I told you about, right?
Mannn I'm so sad I was chosen for this but had an emergency…can't wait to join a future one, as it seems like great fun!!! (Najimi Amethyst, btw)
What armor is that ?
Wibbly Wobbly Gang rise up
Admittedly, doing with a bunch of friends is the right way to go. If someone's first experience was going straight to pf after watching a video, the mileage may vary.
0:32 "it uh… it went" note the absence of the word "well".
not gonna lie, i still remember zig-zag as criss-cross. applesauce, even.
@1:00 That tank swap has mothing to do with PLD's stance LOL. DRK had aggro and lost it for a split second, you see A appear on PLD momentarily and then see the target line from boss go to PLD. DRK needs his stance on and PLD just needed to shirk early to solidify the swap. That was mostly on DRK though LOL.
TF is your readycheck doing there in battle? 🤨
That's so sweet of ya teaching sprouts . Looks so fun <333 glad ya had a good time love the vibes
ah PF with voice chat… so much better XD
TEA weapon
Can't remember tank stance
This looks fun
For me the only thing that matters is my team I just can’t do any content if players are assholes and I’m not scared of others players but a team can’t cooperate if there’s someone always bitching.
It may not have been a clear but it's understandable P5S is a rough place to start.
I started in P1S a bit before this raid wing came out and I beat P1S first pull (in no small part thanks to an amazing raid caller and most of the team having experience). And took a few pulls to do P2S and cleared but stopped there since P5S and such came out.
I have farmed P5S and it still trips me up more than even "harder" fights. I don't know what it is for sure, I just know that P5S is a bitch.
P5S was my first ever Savage in current content (I did P1S MINE before trying it) and I did the whole thing in Party Finder. Watching this video is immensely satisfying
Yeah, just do it enough time, and you'll get used to it. current gear also help with dps check leeway.
I used to do it until extreme, now I cleared p8s. and on the weekend the weekly limit was unlocked, I cleared like 13x on sat and sun alone.
-I used to make powerpoint about all the mechanics in order, and put it on a tablet.
-after some test run, you notice that not every mechanics need to be remembered at all, and solvable without thinking
-then after a while I don't need to see the powerpoint at all.
-then and after way too many times, I have less and less patience for trap parties.
-But now after I got all the farm I need, I join prog parties for fun as I have no pressure to get any more gear.
I think the number of days I need to clear this tier. Run 1 session, until get used to some mech, then watch guides, then 2nd session to try the guide the next day, and so on).
p5s in 3 days (fri – mon just before tue reset)
p6s in 4-5 days (tue – fri or sat)
p7s in 1 day (sat to sun)
p8s in 6 weeks.
P8s was rough because of those who prog further will want to prog with other people who progged the same, then your party filled with those newer to the mechanics, and got trapped for days or weeks because of that. I've seen someone in PF whose name I remember was doing HC 1 when I was doing HC 1, and still is 3 weeks later. while I already cleared and got all the gear I want after clearing it 20x. That's the randomness of people in party finder. you got good party, suddenly from HC1 to aim to clear in 1 session. you got bad party, it's snake 1 prog or fourfold for weeks.
But, as long as you know it's not your mistakes, it's not your problem anymore, just take it as party finder as it is. No matter what you do it is only 12.5% of the whole team.
P5S is overtuned for it's position in this tier. It should be the 3rd fight and not the 1st. Both P6S and P7S are easier. Devour is borderline an ultimate mechanic due to how fast and precise the movement is, reminding me of Limit Cut in TEA.
How are they new players/sprouts if everyone is already level 90?
OMG I can't believe I missed this! Hoping there will be more about to join this. Thank you for hosting such an epic event! Hope everyone had fun!
I am about a month and a half into FF and I did my first savage and it was pretty fun! It's rewarding to me just getting the mechanics correct can't wait to do more.
I love carby, he's such a good intro to Savage. Honestly maybe my favorite fight the entire tier. I'm glad it sounds like the new raiders had fun with him 😀
Man I wish I could find someone friends to do things like this. My server is sooo dead and are lowkey mean. 🙁
Both tanks should keep their stance on, OF has to provoke and MT has to shirk in tanks swaps ;-;
Or at least that's how i was teached
