One quick fix: In act 2, my guide shows purple/dark orbs appearing on both a tank and a healer. In reality, the orb will only appear above the healer, while the tank will not have an orb above them. This does not change the mechanic or the strategy, but sorry if it caused any confusion.

I swear your video's are just miles ahead in clarity of any other guide. Huge props.

Just want to say that I really appreciate your super dry, no frills, academic lecture style of presentation. It's exactly what I need to get my brain to process this stuff. Anything more would be a distraction. Keep up the great work!

Hector just wanted to let you know you have single handedly gotten me through this tier of savage as an ex WoW player and im starting to gear up for ultimates. your guides are concise, to the point, and with plenty of visual aids that help. Keep on making these guides man. I tell everyone to head to your channel and use yours because of how effective they are

these are by far the best guides currently on youtube, thank you so much

Just cleared the tier yesterday! Your guides were quite integral to my static's strategies. I must once again thank you very much for the easy to understand and follow top down style guides! ^^

I found your guide around the time my group began work on p3s two weeks ago. That guide and your p4s part 1 guide have been invaluable. We're almost ready to clear p4s part 1 and this looks like a great guide for part 2 :)

This has to be the best Raid guides channel of all time, thank you so much for what you do. Me and the static are going at it right now! 😃

I've never watched a guide that was as clear and concise. You're a godsend!

Best. Guides. Ever. There is no comparison. The clarity is unmatched. Great job, man.

I just watched another guide and almost had a stroke. Thanks for making such clear and concise guides. You are appreciated by the raiding community.

Thanks for doing these guides they are so helpful, my static is starting P4S part 2 prog this week and your guides have definitely helped us get this far!

Just wanted to say, this has been my first savage tier since starting the game last fall, and I finally cleared the full tier this week in PF, in no small part thanks to your guides. I have a very hard time learning any other way than through practice normally, but these visuals really helped me enter each fight with confidence I otherwise would have lacked (Especially for the first two fights, when there weren’t many resources out there yet but you had guides up super quickly!) I’ll continue to recommend your channel to anyone I meet who wants to get into savage raiding themselves. Again, thank you so much.

Thank you for breaking it down like this - this is fantastic!

Hello sir. Thank you for all the guides. First time doing savage and clear all of them thanks to your guides

Please continue making this kind of guides. cant wait for your other ultimate guides (specially DSR)

These help so much thank you 💗

Your guides are the best honestly. We are on phase 2 now and your guides got me there. Only thing I would like is to see each mechanic in game after you show the diagram. That will help a lot with knowing the pace etc. There are other guides that show that but I don't want to watch other guides lol. Appreciate all your hard work

One of the reasons I love these guides is that they are essentially spoiler-free, so especially for this phase I can go in ""blind"" not knowing what it really looks like, but with knowledge of the mechanics. I do agree that would be helpful, though, but I prefer it without seeing the fight.

just cleared our first tier as a complete casual fc after several subs and a three month break, thank u so much for seeing us through the final stretch (even if we skipped curtain call w grade 7 pots LOL)

Best guide out there

Man these top down, slow visual guides are honestly the easiest to follow, makes this look a lot less scary to go into, hoping to clear this week!

hey late comer here. You and another guide helped me kill the fight with my team!! Thank you!!

I just found your videos as I'm progging P4SP2 - but I swear you are not my definitive source. The way you clearly and concisely lay out each roles responsibilities with accurate and clearly readable diagrams is top tier. It honestly craps on any other guide maker. Thanks so much and keep it up!

Heya Hector. Dropping a comment to let you know that your raid guides are some of the first I turn to and some of the first I share. Anyone I raid with hears me affectionately refer to you as "my boy Hector" when there's a miscommunication or someone doesn't quite understand a mechanic. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos and break them down slowly with detailed understandable graphics. I know there's also Joonbob, but he doesn't always cover some of the easier savage fights. Thanks to you, it's been a lot easier to ease my FC members' fear of savage raiding. Keep up the good work!~

for every st try to take both bleed debuff, use your 'Provoke' in Act 3

@13:40 this was the most confusing one for me, tho my squad kept saying Act 2 was the hardest. At first, the person doing callouts said "if you're blue, look at your tower and go 3 over, counterclockwise" and that didn't make sense to me because I'd always end up at a tower with someone else there. But this is so simple.

Heey I know it is a little late perhaps but I recently led my FC trough a mountfarm of p4s and act 2 was difficult for us smoothbrainers so I cooked up a sacrifice strat that made it all easier on the group :) instead of propper spreading we had our tank solo the stackmarker (they dont need invuln for this with propper gearcreep) and for the 2nd stacks we just sacrificed 1 dps and quickrezzed them. that way dps did not have to think either they could just go brrr I felt a little villainous muahaha because I did have fun thinking it up

Wow this is so awesome 😎

For curtain call will tanks always get a 12/32s debuff and healers a 22/42s debuff? On some guides I've read they have tanks/healers for all four sets

@HectorHectorson

2 жыл бұрын

From what I've seen, it is always tanks on the 12 & 32 and always healers on the 22 & 42.

This is the first guide I've seen for the game that I actually understood what was going on and I've been running since Omega started up. Huge props!

does only the wind tether fall off or does the fire as well after a specific time? cause if so wouldnt it be easier to just let the whole group stack and 2 people do towers and completely ignore fire and have more uptime for melees?

@HectorHectorson

2 жыл бұрын

That would certainly make the mechanic easier! Unfortunately, aeros are the only tethers that fall off harmlessly. A fire tether that breaks because you ran out of time will do lethal damage.

I heard you like O12S patch mechanics, so we put some patch mechanics on top of patch mechanics, so you can patch while you patch bruh.

Can you truly be on the path of the second kick on Act 3? Died a lot on the H1 position shown here during my prog. Other than that doubt, nice guide!

You can definitely can be in the path without taking damage; my cohealer consistently stands in the path without issue. The only hitbox from the kick is an aoe centered on where the boss lands, slightly larger than the bosses hitbox.

Bro, you've litterally released the video like 10 minutes after we've beaten phase 1

One thing I saw is that I keep getting clipped in curtain call by the second hit of hells sting. Apparently you have to be dead center of the hit?

@HectorHectorson

2 жыл бұрын

Spot on! The safe-spot for the second dodge is deceptively mall, so being due middle of the previous red aoe is safest. It might also be helpful to know that, following my pattern, only the tanks should ever have to break their tether and dodge simultaneously.

Video guides have come a long way from people simply narrating over unedited kill footage.

anyone know the dps requirement for this phase? Thanks for the guide!

@HectorHectorson

2 жыл бұрын

Almost exactly the same as phase 1 (48.2K for phase 1, 47.9K for phase 2), but because the phase is longer, you get an extra 2-minute burst window so most find the check to feel more lenient than phase 1.

Hey, just wanted to comment: pf is doing Act 4 Blue Tethers differently at the time of this comment. Blue goes CCW3 OR across 180 then CW1.

Can WAR take both Demigod TBs with invuln?

@HectorHectorson

2 жыл бұрын

Yep. There's a little under 5 minutes between each demigod, so warrior is the only tank who will have invuln up for both.

Now I’m confused why does the pf do Act 4 blue orbs 3 steps ccw instead?

Both work: I think the PF idea is that everyone rotates 1 CW, just that blue go opposite their thorn. It makes sense and is easy to remember, just not what I did when originally doing the fight.
