Wing of War Master Trial

A couple people had mentioned this fight on the 'MT recruiting' thread by mrmme, so I thought I'd provide some context for what's been going on.

The bahamut master trial has mechanics that flat out prevent you from being able to clear it without knowing how to deal with them, and no clues whatsoever about how to go about it. We’re talking absolute virtue simultaneous 2hr activation levels of obscure here. Whatever we’re meant to do to deal with the dragons is something nobody’s been able to figure out. And so people just gave up trying. The fights a waste of time.

One really big difference between progression on this fight over August is that, the majority of people who want to progress this fight are still working an another encounter. Oathsworn Blade has blown up so many MT statics at this point that the fight has been out for well over a year and a half, but only has 3 clears that I know of. This wittled down the number of groups even willing to try Wing of War, simply because if they wanted to clear a new MT, it would be August.

This is certainly true for some groups I've contacted, but not all. The biggest reason this encounter hasn't been cleared yet is because many of the plausible solutions to the Benediction mechanic has gear requirements that were (as best I could tell) impossible to meet upon release. The Limbus updates have sparked up progression between the fore-running groups, and the future updates will no-doubt continue to do so.

Of all the groups I've contacted, each would prefer to keep details about this fight close to the vest, so I can't really go into any more detail.
