How Hard is Mythic Raiding?

Community General Discussion

I use myself as an example, I have returning to the game a couple of weeks ago since BFA, I have no idea what about the way to Mythic.

What do I need for mythic raiding?

Do you think in a specific class+race, profession?
Etc, etc.

Mythic raiding is almost exclusively a guild activity, done by a tight knit group of well acquainted players whom have a set schedule that is adhered to.

If your goal is to get into mythic raiding, at the very least, you’re going to need to be well acquainted with the current raid, have multiple heroic clears under your belt, and get familiar with a set group of players who are willing to take on new members. To my knowledge, most guilds doing mythic will have “trial runs” for new members. Sort of like a job interview.

Thank you, SmellyPooPoo, this is good advice. :poop:

If you are not trying to get into anything like hall of fame type of mythic raid, then I would say it take more consistency than skills.

It’s more about your attitude towards the game, time commitment, and ability.

The other thing to note is that mythic raiding is, for the most part, something done with players of similar skill level. Your performance matters, people’s expectations of your performance are both high and fully justified. If you are under performing it will be clear as day (Even if the boss dies), and expectation will be that you improve to the standards of the group.

You’ll get help with that, ofcourse, and there are countless resources to help you improve as a player out there. Ultimately every team wants its players to do as well as possible, but it is not enough, unlike in lower difficulties, to simply show up and wing it.

I mean being somewhat consistently good is key to any endgame pillar.

Mostly in your ability to learn or self teach.

The ability to perform above a certain level is a skill, and the ability to perform above that level consistently is also a skill.

It would be more accurate to say that you should focus on always playing at 80% instead of trying to sometimes play at 90%.

For consistently, I mean like actually attending it. My guild only raid 5hrs(2.5hr/day) a week, and we were able to get CE for most of the raid. The few we didn’t get are all because of people weren’t able to attend it consistent. Usually the holiday season.

At the risk of being attacked for ‘opining on something i have never done’, there are logical things that are harder for others than some.

For example, some might find difficulty in being the first step others have said: being in a guild, or otherwise having issues socially.

Others wont have that problem, but may have another bump in difficulty via not being able to handle certain high pressure roles and jobs. I remember raiding MoP, and as a Hunter I could disengage onto the Belt in Siegecrafter. This was a high pressure job, as we had to kill the adds that appeared.

Another area of difficulty could be you are limited to only 10m raiding, due to PC specs.

The level of ones experience with the game overall will factor into difficulty, naturally as well.

it requires consistency both in schedule and performance, as well as the ability to work with others, accept feedback, and work on improving your performance wherever you can.

it’s not more difficult than high m+ keys or pvp in the sense of having to press buttons in a more difficult way, but it’s a different set of skills.

Is your goal CE? Deep mythic? Mid mythic? Entry mythic?

14

it starts as hard as the harder heroic bosses and scales up from there.

first half totally doable. gets a bit steep of a climb from there.

you need a guild who will take you above all else. So you need waht they need.

Hardest part of mythic raiding is all the extra demands your mythic raiding guild demands of its raiders these days, aside from that it’s just follow the weakaura.

As an ex-mythic raider, I found the hardest part was the commitment. I got burnt out of raid tiers halfway through prog, tired of logging in to wipe for 3 hours straight. It was eventually no longer fun, but you can’t just drop raid halfway through prog. That’s a jerk thing to do, and pretty much guarantees your place as bench warmer next season. So honestly for me the hardest part was finding the motivation to continue logging in for raid, on top of the maintenance required to keep your character competitive.

The mechanics are challenging too of course, but on a more human level, the time commitment required to be a mythic raider was the hardest part.

The only fight like that this tier is fract. There aren’t fights like that.

I did Mythic Raiding throughout all of Highschool some 10 years ago.

Don’t miss it. I dislike raid officers and have a personality that refuses to give any of them respect.

I look at them as man-child discord moderators who think their silly guild rank makes them somebody.

Show up on time and don’t fall behind in ilvl.

So demanding.

So you’re still in high school?

Finding a guild is possibly harder than Mythic raiding.

You’d be incorrect.
