zynclori: I know this is a video on Ultimate raiding but your advice would be quite helpful for people getting into savage too, especially the mindset stuff! I'm currently aiming to clear M4S and I've noticed that I tend to tense up near the end due to stressing over mechanics far in advance and messing up the one I'm currently doing. I'm not quite at Ultimate level yet but I hope to be one day and I'll keep your advice in mind when i do!

TheUrbanLegend52: Man lots of good points. Especially love you mention TEA and UCoB as choices for 1st (seen mad lads go for TOP 1st).

But man the comment you said with statics. It’s easy to find one, but hard to find a good one.

I joined one for TOP, and while I was having bad DPS (rotation issues that no one pointed out for over a month which I fixed in a day after I found out), I was kicked . Rest group stuck together despite I was the most consistent. And like I mean stuff was bad like seeing us hit P4, only next weeks we never pass P3 due to mechanical failure.

But one thing I will say to any wannabe raider, don’t give up. People only get to the top from numerous failures. I have 23 TOP kills, but I got there from 6 months of progging.

I was stuck in P5 prog due to pf memes but someone I had touched base before helped me in my time of need and help me prog and beat TOP. And it ignited my love for ultimate raiding. I went for more kills so I could be confident to help others. I did the other 3 ultimates (UCoB, TEA, DSR) despite saying I wasn’t going to, and being especially afraid of DSR.

The dream is never dead so long you keep going, people gonna push you down, but you can push past them. I know I was ASTATIC to see my old static leader and another in the group were still stuck on P5 Delta when I cleared several times.

adonisdarkblade: Very much disagree with your point regarding statics where you say "don't kick them out if they're learning more slowly than everyone else". If a member is dragging everyone else down, and they are not living up to the prog expectations that the group decided on before starting the fight, then a change in roster is absolutely warranted.

The slower player will, over time, become frustrated with themselves, and the rest of the group will likely become resentful of that player. I have seen statics fall apart because the raid lead was too afraid to kick the bad player and the rest of the group decided staying was not worth their time. It's kind of like amputating a finger to save the hand.

qt_eira: hehehe dsr as a first go brrrrr

my thought process is if i’m spending 70 hours learning a fight i want it to be for a weapon i really like

TallyhoYGO: Love finding LGBTQ FFXIV content creators <3 wonderful video!

no00ob: You don't actually need gemdraughts for the older Ultimates as potions have a cap, so be sure to check the mb, might be able to get away with some cheaper potions for them.

lynx5859: For Unlocking the fights:

O4S and O8S dont need a full party of 8, a party of 4 should be enough!

E4S also doesn't need a full party, did it with 5 recently but with 2 tanks 3 dps so 1 tank 4 dps may be fine!

P4S if you're unlocking in PF, bump up the Item Level a bit past 710, maybe to 720. I cannot stress enough that people need to know how to do damage to skip Act 2.

P8S having damage to skip the second set of first animals is nice, but doesn't really help with Phase 2 since you have to do HC1 all the time currently.

imbad4448: Just got into this game about 2 months ago already logged 500 hours and am closing in on level 90 just cruising msq. I come from other mmos with end game raiding and have been getting antsy to get into ultimates. This is the perfect starter guide thank you

rosdie4563: Im already someone who does ultimate, but this video was very concise and helpful either way. Good job!

V3LV3L4: This was a very encouraging video, thanks a lot for making it honestly :]

I've been making my way through the game's free trial and I was hoping to have Unending Coils as the climax of my journey, so this was all really helpful to hear

hockjock35: Me sitting here pf quad legend watching these types of content to see if I missed anything and for background noise as I hit combat dummys Keep it up nice guide
