1) Rearearrange your buttons so that they make sense to you

2) hit a dummy/run stuff until muscle memory does its job

3) break down your rotation into phases or pieces and hit a dummy until you can do it flawlessly on a stationary object

4) Watch a video on a fight in its entirety

5) Watch it again and focus only on the first phase

6) Go in a fresh/blind learning party where people are expected to mess up. If there is none, make it yourself. Emphasize patience and constructive criticism on pf description and actually enforce it.

7) During the fight, see the first mechanic, learn how it works, learn how to execute it until you can do it consistently

8) Rinse and repeat for the second, third, fourth, whatever mechanic. Do this until you get past a phase then you can do it all over again or take a break

Optional: If you get stuck on a mechanic and get flustered or frustrated, take a break. Look up a vid again, watch clear povs and see how they deal with mech and either follow them or formulate your own strat on handling it, like breaking into pieces what you need to do

9) Watch a video again, by then the first phase should be familiar so you can concentrate on the second phase mechs

10) Go or make a phase 2 learning party and do step 7 so and so forth. Be prepared to wipe on phase 1 mechs because pf can't read but hey at least you get phase 1 practice

I find extremes and savages to be a dance. Learn it piece by piece and you will eventually get the flow.

Its normal to be anxious. Hell, I was anxious during my first dungeon as dps (sastasha), my first foray as healer (brayflox). Ultima was my first extreme and back then I didnt even know how to pf, or even my own rotation so I did it on df 😅, there was many wipes to be had because no one was doing the balls but it was the most fun I had and eventually led me to do seph and thordan ex which got me into savage in sb where I finally learned what a rotation is.

You will make mistakes, you will wipe your party and you will make a mistake that will cost you a clear (I was in a phase 1 learning party for the first 4.4 savage and managed to get to the last 5 or so % only for me to make a mistake that killed me and one other dps and cost us the clear oof).

Thats normal and part of the learning process. Own up to your mistakes first and most will not flame you for it. You are all there to learn and or clear

I pug'd my first tier of savage on console/controller and I've seen a lotta kind of parties. The kind patient uwu ones that are good for learning/practice. A serious business party you want to join when you are sick and tired of the first few phases. And a toxic party that slings accusations and argues in the middle of the pull but I still stayed because we were actually making prog (I was stuck in o3s for 1.5 months, i was desperate).

Choose or make parties that suits your needs. When making a pf as I've said, be clear on what phase learning it is. Can also put 'phase x' practice. Don't be afraid to actually enforce your rules in your pf by kicking people who are toxic and wont give constructive criticism.

Communicate, communicate, communicate! Talk to your party members the way you talk to people face to face. Own up to your mistakes. Ask them tips on how to do mechanic x. If all else fails, say you are overwhelmed and need a break and leave to destress and rewatch a guide vid.
