To be honest the answer is easy. Practical experience > theorycrafting. There is no way a newbie would want to farm on those places because there other stuffs they have to farm yet. I mean who would want to test that area with party and low clearing time? See? No one. Unless you want to win argument that it is possible but in practical daily life of newbie they wont.
I totally agree with you: If the content you were trying to clear fast was meant to be content for solo gameplay.
But if the content is designed for parties - sorry but you should have gears to cover at least the DPS of 3 low-medium geared characters - or, just find a party.
But previous meta can. Thats why you can just use 3m 5 hammers and farm rank 8 mats. There are people who test that and compared 5 hammer with trans 315 weapon in youtube if my memory serves me right.
T10 is extremely example. I doubt anyone would stay long enough to even get trans 5. Because the grind is too much. If your idea of making player doing hard contents. RNG is not a solution.
There are others stuffs that can work on like true end game red 315 weapons. 5 hammer is just your stepping stone but can still do end game stuffs. Actually it wasnt just 5 hammer but the skill factor and stats are the major contributors.
Do i have to say it again? The difference between a +11 weapon at 4 trans and a +11 at 10 trans is around 30% damage gained TOPS, the cost on the other side is tenfold.
Just get effing 350 primus rainbow armor with meme stats and up it.
The difference between full miki and 350 primus gear defense is negligible.
You need other high trans player to clear raid, T5 is not enough there. No one will include you as DPS trans 5 because people want hard DPS to do that stuffs because it has cost. You can try challenge trans 5 as DPS if you think you can DPS enough. My trans 6 falcon can, as solo DPS.
If you can solo clear with T6 it shows clearly that if you have a proper party, they donât need T6 to be able to clear the content - they can with way less.
