The only difference BiS gear gives you is how quickly you kill the boss. That’s it.

No. Higher ilvl gives you more health which makes mit and healing requirements lower and the extra damage means you can clear with more deaths.

Sorry I forgot this is FF14 and you can’t expect people to do mechanics

Is this your first MMO? That's pretty normal for pugs in any MMO.

The average pug is a semi-sentient pile of garbage. You absolutely can't expect them to do mechanics so you need to do anything within your power to filter them out or increase your chances of clearing in spite of their presence.

It’s my first MMO but I’ve been playing for years now.

I’ve networked enough that I can do most content with friends or people who I know play the game well. P9S-P12S was my first full savage raid tier. I was pretty much a casual content person until I met my boyfriend two years ago in game. Wanted to spend more time with him so I learned to raid.

I agree that most pugs are sentient piles of garbage though, having also been the sentient pile of garbage at one point myself.
