I don't end up doing many EX clears since I'm not big into PF. That said, I got pulled in last minute to be a 2nd tank for an FC group for this fight last night and it was a blast. We didn't quite clear, but I felt pretty good about how well I was figuring things out. This video definitely helped me clear up the last couple things I wasn't super sure about, and I'm actually super pumped to try it again tonight, assuming I can get over my apparent PF phobia, lol
Lemme tell ya, I never would have started Savage raiding if I hadn't been dragged in by a friend who believed in me more than I did, too. 1,000% worth it. If you're genuinely trying to play your best and people end up being mean to you, those aren't people who's opinions you should value or play with. But the vast majority of players will treat you with patience and kindness, so long as you're open about your level of experience going in. I hope you're able to summon the courage to have another go of it, and if you do, I hope you have a great time of it! ^^
Just something of hint. You can(you should) use Addle in Hair Raid after puddles variation. If you wait and Addle before Aero IV finish cast(roomwide), it will cover following AeroIII(tank buster) aswell. It helps healers as its lots of damage in short time. Specially second Hair Raid later.
So many mechanic in this fight is one people die = two people die = cascade into wipe, pretty hard to recover, at least comparing with previous EX trial.
There are certain "recover points" where you can almost ress an entire party between phases where the boss is just standing there doing nothing for ~15s. The DPS check is lenient so either you have no deaths and kill her before Entangelment 1 or you have a lot of resses and such and go through the whole second loop. I think its just well designed. It's much harder than the previous ex trial mechanically, so that might just be why it feels more snowbally in terms of people dieing?
@@tkelly6121 Back at release people have issue figuring how 5 head work, and not consistent on blue to red, barby is more an accurate execution test, like DSR, mechanic itself isn't too hard to identify, but execution had to be consistent and your reaction had to be fast. I think these two trial have different type of difficulty, bit hard to compare directly.
15 deaths and we got 2% enrage with my static yesterday going in first time blind(not first pull) entirely depends when the deaths happen. Funny thing about the fight is that it feels more ultimate to heal than dsr's first 5 phases
@@alexjones50 the only reason I would disagree with that is because each major patch usually has 7 ext trials and currently patch 6.0 is at 4. That would leave Cagnazzo, Rubicante, and Golbez. But I could also see them putting him in a dungeon so we'll see.
@@dylanstotts9438 They've said 6.5 will pivot story-wise from what comes before. I wouldn't be surprised if we're done with Golbez and the fiends by 6.4
One thing to note for Hair Raid is that the donut/cone attack launches a moment before the stack/spread snapshot. So when you get spread + cone the ranged/Healers can also run out a bit to give melee more room!
Yeah, there’s a healthy amount of leeway on the spread. Looks far scarier than it is. If you’re not standing on top of each other you have a goodly bit of time to reposition after the cone AoE.
Hmmm We do the Blow Away mechanic in an opposite way... Bait 2 Aoes in the center, after the second puddle drops, move out and bait the second 2 puddles.. then move in to the center again o.O first time i see this clockwise way.. you have many time to move out with the explosion and most casters/healsrs in our groups have uptime for it..
Did I get a cursed instance? I was using holmang on the first Aero III but would always die to the auto after Secret Breeze? The auto was hitting just as the debuff from Aero III was dropping off. Other than something like a cursed instance I couldn't think of why the auto was coming in before the debuff dropped since I see everyone invuln it.
It can go either way, just communicate before hand with the other tank, as (drk) mt I like to voke back after the debuff wears off to keep the same cardinal positioning, but the other way is fine too (wait until next aero 3).
Barbariccia on normal is ridiculously fun, so I can only assume EX is as well, especially when you get it right. Sadly, there's too much background detail and VFX going off for my poor little toaster to handle, so I won't be trying EX until I get a new PC xD
Honestly, I was surprised at the amount of mechanics in Normal mode. It was an incredibly fun fight to be constantly running around dodging as much. I can't imagine it's fun as a caster, but I had a blast.
@@danielhenderson9719 My first clear was on black mage, it's really not that bad. We've had 90 levels of practice after all, and figuring out the sweet spots is half the fun of casters. Extreme looks quite a bit trickier, *especially* that last chasing aoe->spread, but certainly doable. Astrologian will probably have the toughest time unless they forget about Lightspeeding their buff windows and save it for movement phases instead.
For playstation, easiest to have the support pre-position on clock spots and then just stay there while DPS match to partners. Especially for color blind people.

I also love his content, but maybe content creators could be a little bit more careful about their day/week one guides. =/
Fights like this really make me realize how much the developers have left me behind. The level of mechanical complexity with what to remember and keep track of is simply too much for me. Feels bad paying a sub so long only for them to softly say "This game isn't for you anymore" by making things too hard for me to want to do them.
@@dianauwu1312 I am grateful crafted weapons are so cheap. Trying to get weapons for multiple jobs when your only option is waiting 7 weeks for a tomestone weapon is a bad time.
@@dianauwu1312 Keeping up with item level for story content. You know, playing the other 95% of the game that isn't EX and Savage? Like when I hit 90 and wanted to get the lanners from HW, I needed a better weapon on my RPR to beat the DPS check for Nidhogg to take him down consistently otherwise the chain mechanic would start and I wouldn't be able to win the fight at all.
So did your normal duty finder group take a few tries too many, or did your ex pug take a few tries too few? I haven't touched ex yet, but my first df group 1 shot it with no deaths, so I'd be pretty surprised if ex was easier.
@@RockR277 actually, it depends on each person. I watched a pov clear video and joined A2C party and clear it on my 1st prog. At least during ex you knew the mech if you study it first. The normal was my blind run and yes we wiped few times and things feel even more chaotic than the ex version.
can you like provide some toolbox or whatever to your strat not gonna watch a 17 min video 'cause PF decided to copy your strat or please don't do guides... thank you
This fight would be hard to toolbox for phase 1 because she has 4 different mechanics that she'll do in a random order and stack spread for each mechanic will also be random except once she does one, she'll do the other one.

This fight was fun, I can’t wait to see Rubicante (he’s going to have a mechanic that shows off his leg) and Cagnazzo
My entire goal in this game is now to keep Cagnazzo as far away from Alphie and Alis as possible.
Surprised this trial didnt have passive increased emnity for female

I had fun clearing this the other night as a Sage! Luckily I got the weapon coffer in first clear! 😍😍😍
watching this after dawntrail as it just popped up in WT finally, didnt do extreme trails last expansion so time to get caught up

Now all the gibberish that I heard yesterday makes sense.
Good guide, minor hud complaint tho, the target bar gets in the way of her animations, makes it a bit harder to see what you're talking about
That drug dying from full health lmao that's truly the drg experience
What was that random super fast spin the boss in the video? i lost my shit when i saw that
About what the pug I was in did when learning. I think I'll be going in as brd with my static just to be less stressful.
Wow you work fast lol. Nevertheless, we appreciate the guide and we appreciate your sacrifice as the day one guinea pig.

Other than something like a cursed instance I couldn't think of why the auto was coming in before the debuff dropped since I see everyone invuln it.
I've never seen anyone invuln the 1st buster, always tank swap
Playstation can also be done by having supports go to their clockspots, and dps adjust
I have a weird bug on that fight, the boss doesnt have the ring around her.
Nice!
I'm a bit of an ex noob tank. Once one tank swap happens do you stick with that tank as main tank until the next aero III happens?
It can go either way, just communicate before hand with the other tank, as (drk) mt I like to voke back after the debuff wears off to keep the same cardinal positioning, but the other way is fine too (wait until next aero 3).

Its newruda
So this fight doesnt seem to have any particularly difficult mechanics, its just suuuuper dense. No time to rest
non tanks get a bit of rest during her tankbuster.
