Grouping and You
Why consider grouping?
It's too tryhard for me, Im casual/retired...
IMO this means two things: You don't want to spend time grinding GW, and you don't want to overthink/spend excessive time labbing and prepping for rounds i.e cooking comps or farming weaps before GW.
- These are perfectly in line with grouping
- Getting insanely more honors/celestials per hour means you spend less time and have to answer fewer to no mechanics, which results in less prep being needed!
- Having to constantly restart FA can be disruptive, so let's get 10h of FA honors in one.
Speed/celestial considerations
We all know manual >>> FA for honor gain. But this is only true if you have the correct setups. Many times the entire comp falls apart if you're missing 1 or 2 items that make clearing take up to twice as long.
- Grouping completely blows manual speed out of the water if done well and does not demand such exact inventories.
- You can outpace whales despite missing most things (In theory).
Celestials are a hot topic right now, people often overgrind ex+ to spam nm90 for them.
- This is very pot expensive and time consuming. 90s consume the most meat/h so of course you'd be wasting the most time.
- People do it regardless as it gives the highest solo celestial/h, but…
Groupkilling NM200s in fact beats it!
