Some of my "weekly 2 chest" groups were worse than fresh fucking learning parties. Like come on. I also don't think gear will make a difference. These people aren't hitting 8% enrage, they're hitting 18% (in reclears mind you). Gear isn't gonna make that up. Sure a tier or two down the road, but right now and next patch? No chance IMO.
On a plus side - I cleared Levi. Gonna start Titan learning tomorrow I think. I managed to find a group of people doing E2S and they were pretty good (about 5 of them) and they invited me to E3S reclear. I said I have only been to enrage, so if they're ok with that and they were. We straight carried a SMN who (had cleared already mind you) failed nearly every mechanic possible every single pull. Tsunami one pull, Maelstrom the next, Current, Tidal Wave, Smokers, you name it he died to it. Solid 9th percentile DPS too, almost missed the DPS check because of him.
