My static started out as a group of five friends, hoped into PF with our fingers crossed, and literally had the best of luck! We met three people from another world who were friends in their own FC and we all clicked really well! We're now all actively raiding together and it's been SO much fun. We're all pretty midcore, bringing our best gamer skills but intent on having jokey-fun along the way, and it's just been the greatest time. PF, especially on Aether, has not been the greatest experience, but this time it was. You just never know when you'll find some really good eggs! :)

This is helpful. Looking for a static right now. Not having great luck, but I do come with lots of limitations.

But I still had to satiate lord algorithm, so we don't wipe to his hunger

This is good to know, My gf, 2 friends and myself JUST started playing FFXIV (almost lvl 30) and we were wanting to Raid and do stuff once we get max level so i have been looking up info and stuff so ty for this info.

Really great video for those who are still in the boat of being nervous to try raiding outside of pf, or those who are reluctant to try joining a static due to other reasons. I would highly recommend joining the 2 recruitment discords, I've found all the statics I've been in, even the one I'm currently in, through those. Good luck ya'll!

Ty for making this video. Eventually I wanna get into savage. This helped alot.

[pifu]

This is a neat video, good info to have for when I go to find a group for next tier. ( I'm a sprout healer on aether in post HW content, hoping to get caught up before the next savage tier comes out)

[aetas]

Thank you for this amazing video!
I'm playing FF on and off since ARR release and the past few years i always wanted to tackle savage and even ultimate raids but was always kind of afraid. Extreme Trials are hella fun to the point where i can't wait for the next one to release. But as soon as it goes into the territory of not just jumping into a random group in party finder i got cold feet.
Your advise and the discord links help a lot.
Much love ❤

A very good video! And Awesome advice! :)

Ever since the lunar envoy gear came out, I've been thinking of joining a static to be able clear P7S so this video came out at a great time! Still working on my rotation and not over healing but I'm excited to start raiding in the current tier for the first time \○/ Thanks for the video!

I haven't experienced the friends issues here, but I did go through this in WoW. Some of my best friends I've made online were in that game, but after more than a decade of playing, some of these people just became less invested or capable over time. A lot of it was just real life stuff getting in the way, people starting families, or just getting older. And it can be tough when you want to do stuff with your friends, but it gets to a point where it becomes impossible to do challenging content with them anymore.

Good video though! I'll check out the discords. I've had enough devour disband groups in PF that I want to change it up haha.

Very helpful video! Can I ask how you got the casting bar of the boss enlarged?

[absfinal]

Those are some good questions. I just want to experience the battle,
but what puts me off is that there are fixed times,
which reminds me too much of a job / (real) work,
so I'd rather do it in PF.

I feel that the real problem the the mentality of static is that there's no in between.

Either you got a super softcore group that can't clear because their member is always MIA during the raid days.w The boss is never centered.

Either you got a bunch of people who expect you to raid 3 days a week and more. The addionnal days are told not to be mandatory but member will be angry over the fact that you aren't at the same progress as they are (they raided every day of the week). On top of that grey parse and green parse are a sin. Even if you aren't BIS. (You can clear with grey parse)

This dosen't exist:
A group that really meet 2 days a week. Do not expect you to get some party finder actions. Can play decent enough to clear and doesn't refuse to learn. Doesn't have member who raid every day and get annoyed over the fact that you missed the devour mechanic including the tower of P5S after 3 tries while not taking intro account that he had like 20 pull during the week with other groups.

Many times random pf players were better then the uncomplete static 6/8, 7/8 in PF. So I have terrible experience with statics right now

[FelixFelicis]

Oh my goodness what you said about leaving a static if they "rear their ugly heads later" hits me so hard. I did a week 1 with a group that seemed handle things like mature adults, but a couple in the group started gas lighting on non-issues 3 weeks later. I'm fulfilling any static obligations I can and peacing out as soon as I can. Question Aitherea have you had any bad experiences with couples within statics (not to say that I think all couples are like this, but seeing this for my first time has been really alarming)?

[cupidex]

I only have problem with statics cause they cant adjust time of raids cause of my work.. so guess ill never improve in this game as having real good group cause mine job is like that .. so im back to league again.. cleared p5s but im tired of searching static

[alexkouya]

Yeah joined my FC's static and they are all nice friendly people but prog is so slow I sometimes feel I would be better doing pf, now we stuck in P6S and I want to bang my head against a wall :<

Inam at this weird point where I think I should find a static... I happily bash my head against a boss for 2 to 3 hours with frienss I know but feel like the worst player ever wehen going into pf amd mess up a mechanic.

[MaydaTiger]

i wouldnt have been looking for a static if i had friends 😥

[burnersforhim]

whole time i’m just tranna get into a small fc with discord that actually plays and talks together XD
