Through D1 and D2 I can, quite literally, count my raid completions on the fingers of one hand.
The more mechanic heavy they’ve become then the less I feel able to complete them and enjoy the experience.
I’m Autistic and have ADHD. Several people telling me what do, in my ear ?- not helpful. Attention span of a Gnat ?- not helpful. Worrying I’ll screw up and spoil your experience ?- 100% of the time.
My clan raid several times a week. I’ve been told they’ll get me through; that their patience is boundless.
But, is mine ?.
Try as I might, I don’t want to screw up. I find that the more I try then the worse I get and nothing makes me feel worse than dragging others down when everyone else has a zillion completions and finds the part I’m stuck on, really simple.
I’ve watched guides- didn’t help. I’ve read guides- didn’t help.
I just find them really intimidating.
Just me ?
Mute everyone in the party chat, apart from the one person who knows that raid inside out!

A: Not to shout, nor confuse you
B: Really knows what to do, so they can help/guide/buddy up with you
C: Have the Raid team go into the Raid on Tuesday reset, and give you ALL week to complete it ...stage by stage

D: a Group that makes it fun! - It’s not about the end, it’s about the journey!
I don’t usually ever Raid, due to my own (real life injury - VBIED) nerve signal/dexterity issues, and not wanting to screw up/waste time/time-out/end up in agony for the next day etc (and that D2 Raids are simply no fun with their totalitarian wipe mechanics), but if I have to, I can and sometimes do go in, with the right type of fireteam
EoW would be the best starter (like a 6 man Nightfall), some simple jumping areas, and a simple mechanic on the boss!
