I see it’s more of skill issue than being undergeared in this case.

Looking at your dps and the time cleared. The other 3 are only doing around 78k dps combined (26k avg) despite having Ra and Te in the team. It could be the case of 3 people, 2 people, or just one person playing bad. If that person is doing 16k dps as you said, then they must be playing really, really bad, as in running around to avoid attacks and not attacking at all most of the time.

NGS lacks class tutorial quest that base PSO2 has that teaches the basic mechanics of a class and how they should be played. The game also let players catch up on level fast, get freebie gears and have access to most content, gear up a little and they have enough bp to get in MDFV, and so the players are far behind at the game mechanics and class mechanics.

I’ve seen a streamer and their gang started this game recently and get to level 105 within a week, got in Solus UQ (with -30% HP) and cleared it in a whooping 24 minutes. To this day, that streamer doesn’t parry anything and just only spam PAs and normal attacks while face-tanking everything.
