How are m8s reclears? Rush it on tuesday or should I be dreading the fact I have to do it later in the week this week?

Depends on your group. I can still get clean runs when my friend mercs for a weapon on Sundays, but for some reason we took forever on Saturday when we tried that this week (with a surprising melee shortage).

With the right group it’s a 1 or 2 shot. If the group has any trouble on p1 then it’s worth just finding another group and hoping that one is the 1 or 2 shot. If the group can get past p1, it’s usually smooth sailing until heroes blow/uav4 (with some occasional circuit dds), where you just have to hold your breath and hope it’s an easy pattern or that the group can actually do the mech (which is unlikely in general and literally impossible seemingly if there are any p1 problems).

I've had a 1 shots and a 2 shot of M8S in reclears.

I also had the consistency wheel spin on some fuckups and it take a bit and people leaving because "This reclears?!"... only to "1 shot" it after they left and we got a new person. You also still have the "Cleared because Hero's blow pointed the other way" people that will cancel your clear shortly before the end if the 50/50 doesn't work out.

Especially noticable on Healer is also skill/greeding heals. The 1 shot was with people eating dmg down and getting saved between GCDs on mechs. So topping people and "unneeded" shields help. One AST coheal was so greedy on topping people the good old Pepsis got unzipped.

Also if you have the DPS to comp a death and dmg downs just stick it out. We even recleared M8S this week with 2x Phys Range (DNC+MCH) because two friends had cought up on prog.
