as I have just finished this raid for the first time last night and had the same mentality that its an eff-ton of work, I would say to you keep doing it. I know its super grindy but we spent entire nights in different phases of it last week and didn't finish it but like they say practice makes perfect. you will get super used to all the mechanics you will get it beaten. I thought wed never finish it but we did. the whole team just has to learn and get the mechs down and as long as your almost bloody perfect and hardly anyone dies you can get it done. like I said a lot of work. I don't know if I even want to see hard mode..
