Cleared T6 Savage with static + Raijinken last night. \o/ Added bonus: the high Allagan casting choker which I accidentally walked out on once and never saw again dropped.
Here's (some of) the gang trying on the new titles:

It took a couple of sessions to clear. The first session was a week ago or so with Felix, where we were mainly learning the fight, wiping a lot, and working out how to deal with various mechanics for two or three lockouts. We went in with Raijinken last night and it was a fair bit more consistent, and got it down in the second lockout.
Say what you like about swanning around SCOB content in T13 gear, but I like that it's more accessible now and enjoyed the new take on T6. I think it was actually more fun than the original, which I always saw as kind of a chore after I'd cleared it a few times. Also, you can't really brute force your way through certain mechanics of the fight, so there was still a fair bit of learning and practice to be done.
BLM has a tricky job as always on this fight, but when things go well, it's really satisfying. We used the line of sight strategy for the devour in original T6, which doesn't work here, so the big party trick for me this time was pulling off an Aetherial Manipulation to someone standing next to Rafflesia just before he got sucked in, so that I was there early to resume turreting before Spit happened. I really need to make a macro for "/p DID YOU SEE THAT <se.6>" for when I'm showboating with AM.
