DT Savage Raids advice (lemmy.world)

As someone who never played during an expansion launch, how hard are the latest Savage raids? I’ve been afraid to try them, I don’t have an active FC so I’d be queuing and I don’t want to be a burden. I can run the normal raids and not die or even get hit by the mechanics the whole run, but not sure how big of a jump up in difficulty they are mechanics wise.

If you haven't done any high-end content before, you should start with extremes. Normal raids are made with the intention that you can clear them first pull, maybe in two or three if your group is full of newbies. No savage is like this. You will die, a lot. Specially if you are new.

Try watching a guide for m1s so you can get an idea of what you are trying to do (Like this one)

EX1 was my first ever current "high end" content clear and it was a lot of fun. Absolutely recommend it for anyone unsure about hopping into harder content, it's such a great escalation of the normal trial and I credit it as the jumping off point for me to dabble in savage, which I never would have otherwise.

Still no wings from either one though...
