The chat going "wtf is this strat" every phase, like bruh this is THE strat, the first one, the first one that cleared lmao. World first is always "whatever works" while recent strats are "whatever works *best*"
Oh and about your comments at 31:00, I don't think you're being arrogant at all. I C41'd my friend in a single lockout because she spent countless hours studying the fight and watching others do it, the hardest part of the fight by far is getting through the first 6 minutes, Limit Cut and BJCC are the biggest walls in the entire fight. If the rest of your group knows what they're doing, you can genuinely knock this fight out insanely fast if you're competent and studied.
A thing to point out is that during the triple burndown at 35:30, those damage waves make up 25% of the outgoing damage in the fight. I haven't been watching your savage stuff because I like to do them blind and have yet to do older content, but glad you've been enjoying the raids!
It is cool to see how many mechanics you would were able to read, a lot has changed since the first reaction. I definitely think you could do an Ultimate, Uwu in particular is a good starting point, it is only slightly harder than the current final savage fight, if you can do A8s min item level you can probably do Uwu.
This was my first ultimate so I was dying to watch your reaction to it. Having you watch a fight blind where you understand the fundamentals of each individual part and reacting to the fight unfold similarly to how we felt watching this during world first prog is a joy that can only be found in the world of MMOs. Great video.
Sfia and Max actually had a call where Sfia walked through this entire fight in detail (including the story of unlocking the hidden mechanic) - if you could dig it up it would be a great watch to understand more about what is going on
Cant wait for you to do the omega raids and then react to TOP! Your insight is amazing for someone who hasnt cleared. I did it in 12 days in PF, im sure it will take you like a week or less
If he gets a group of gamers together I bet it takes less than three days. I helped a friend prog the fight in PF and I think we clocked in under 7 days of 1-2 lockouts per day and setting aggressive prog points and heavy simming
@@VForceWaveoh yes, making it a C41 basically can be done in a couple of days if someone applies to mechanics and learning. I did it completely solo and was also SIMing heavly, i was clear ready at day 9 but PF is PF not only filling a group takes hours but some days you can get the perfect team and others not so much.
@@VForceWaveYeah, I could see that, pf tends to multiply prog time tenfold. It probably wouldn’t have taken 3 months to beat uwu if I didn’t have to deal with so many titan and ultima trap parties.
Can’t wait for you to give it a try, this one isn’t like ucob where you can do it with 7 people and cheese trios with LB, In TEA you can easily be the single reason behind 100s of wipes but at least you’ll have fun.
Tea was a blast. Great music, mechanically once you know it and get some pulls it you’re fine. DSR is a whole different beat though. Execution is king especially there. DSR tool ultimates to a whole different level.
ye doing it with ppl that cleared is pretty easy, our statics tank cleared in partyfinder after seeing p3 once. And that was just with us watching his stream and calling stuff out for him
Looking at the slowly-expanding frost circle they use to set up their ice block with the water tornado, it strikes me that you could make a fun mechanic where a) One character will have the circle and two will have tornadoes. b) Then the boss does something akin to Ultra Flash AND does a double-stack mechanic. So the party has to bait into a position where the tornadoes are close enough to each other that they'll both be hit by the frost so they both turn into ice blocks, but far enough that the double-stacks aren't hitting each other. And also people getting into position have to make sure they aren't getting either ice block killed or stepping in the frost. I dunno, I think it'd be a neat solve.
Really cool watching this reaction to TEA. You pretty much nailed every mechanic you saw, a couple were off frame but what are you gonna do. In my opinion, TEA is hard for the first 4-5 minutes just because of the learning, execution, and one mistake = wipe. After that, the rest is pretty free, assuming you practiced Wormhole in a simulator. In my opinion TEA is the most fun fight in the game, but I still think DSR is the "best" fight in the game. Ignore anyone saying this fight will take months of prog. You cleared a8s. My group BLAZED through this fight in less than 20 hours of prog because we were all having such a good time and were motivated to learn. TEA is by far the most approachable ultimate that people will respect you for clearing.
I mean I don't think he got anything wrong other than beacons being stillness/motion, but that's understandable since both are introduced at the same time and use dark and light animations
I think what you and a lot of people seem to forget is the hard part of an ultimate is the blind prog. mechanically if you look at each step on its own no fight is difficult including ultimates. the ability to consistently execute these mechanics b2b over 18 minutes whilst maintaining a near perfect rotation (at least when relevant) is what will keep these fights difficult even with the blind side of things removed by not being amongst the first to clear. Sadly, unless you intend to do ultimates on patch, you will not be able to truly get the "as intended" experience with this content due to how syncing down works, job changes and ofc the release of new jobs. if you really wanted to clear an ultimate the old ones are a hell of a lot easier these days. probably on par with current savage tier
Na savage is an absolute joke. I did each floor in like a day while even uwu took me 12. Even legacy are a step above savage. Top and dsr are still a relevant challange today, to me each took me a little under a month.
@@MrCharly780 I remember helping out some friends a few months ago we did ucob and uwu in like 5 weeks doing 9 hours a week with 6/8 new to the fights. took about the same time for us to clear savage starting from week 1. I agree if you go in now when everyone is over geared and you sit in pf all day you can easily clear 1 fight a day. savage is a joke but so are the old ultimates.
@@woot4range If legacy ultimates had actual dps checks then their difficulty would go up by a lot. Even then, fights like UwU will always be easier than what it was because the fight was meant to be done blind, the fact most people arent blind to it makes the fight way easier.
Everything in life is easier from the sidelines, I don't dispute that. Hopefully one day I'll be able to do an ultimate when it's current and not scaled in any way 👌
@@Psybear_tv 100% Agreed, eventually for me savages started to feel way too easy or just simple so i just started to blind prog, thanks to having to actually fully understand how everything works and having to make my own strats for things the fights really started to feel better than ever before and have made me really enjoy them. Ultimates blind are an entirely different thing, specially the current ultimates with how rough they are, so im really excited to do the next ultimate blind as well.

If you get carried by 7 other people, no ultimate is crazy hard, correct.
yeah, ask rich campbell LMAO
The deal with alexander getting legs and stuff, my first thought when I heard about it was the Firelands Ragnaros fight. It amused me.

honastly my guy,, limit cut is the biggest clusterfuck in that fight in prog lol
It's weird seeing some of these old strats

Do you plan on doing eden before Dawntrail's ultimate releases to experience it firsthand?
I’d like to see you get there in a “decent amount“ of pulls.
That's the hope and the aim but I'm sure it'll be harder than I can imagine!
when are you gonna react to uwu
Not 100% sure potentially going to do that blind or semi blind
