No. No compromise. Just nerf it

Blizzard has already released a statement saying that certain specs based on data and success rates are no doubt facing something not intended. And that it’ll be fixed soon. Should that fix go through? Yes. As soon as possible. Because people should be facing what was intended.
That doesn’t mean kick it in the knees and beat it over the head with a baseball bat so that everyone can beat it.

I don’t use Boomkin form at all and have dozens of sub 3% pulls on Kruul.
P1 is actually hecking easy compared to trying to beat the DPS check P2 once you learn the fight. The actual hard part of the fight is that they’ve created an absurd DPS check that requires you to cheese it out. I haven’t found a single poster who has beaten P2 without using some kind of scaling cheese or way to cheat out the Annihilate mechanic to extend the enrage.

I’ve basically called a lid on further MT attempts for the Guardian Bear challenge, just gonna park my Druid outside and wait until the nerf hotfixes go live (within the next few days?) 
Not gonna keep wasting my time and gold on further attempts in this overtuned/imbalanced version. Best attempt so far is Kruul down to about 11.9k health by the time I ran out of gas/CDs to rotate thru.
For what it’s worth, I was at around ~62 attempts yesterday (at least), about 4.7k spent on repair bills, and about ~34k gold spent on various consumables so far. Place is expensive lmao

Nope, it’s requiring one specific play style and if you aren’t frame perfect at both boomkin and bear, and get good RNG with spawn times/life drain times/spawn locations for eyes AND nothing goes pearshaped from other bugs you still might end up relying on the npcs in phase two finishing off the boss for you

I need to inspect you. You pump out enough dps as bear p1?! I find for me personally, I need the extra dps from lazer chicken p1 - can’t do it in bear. I am really struggling with p2 now. I just got a trinket on one of my bears that ppl are saying is helping and will try out later.
I told myself to farm old gear bc - its blizz we’re talking about - but I was like, nah. It will be okay. O.o

I phase him around the 3 minute mark, yeah. I sometimes phase with 2 infernal, but I often get 3rd right as I phase because I make mistakes due to just how many times I’ve pulled trying to beat p2.
Also in favor of no.
I’ve been on the receiving end of those 10,000s of gold, and I’d like another week of making more.
As of this morning I’m already up 2.6 million from tuesday.

Using old gear and gems isn’t exploits my guy.
It’s expensive and probably shouldn’t feel required, but it’s not an exploit.

Yeah I spent 100k on repair and consumes and still didn’t get it lol. Consume costs are insane.
A few of these dudes in online MT guides/Youtube videos are claiming you can push to phase 2 “before the second infernal” but I’m just not seeing it in practice 
Just how are they accomplishing such a feat? The only way I can think of is staying in for 6-7 stacks at a time, which is highly risky in itself (you can almost get 1-shotted @ 7 stacks of debuff).
So basically, play literally perfectly while staying in for like 7 stacks to maximize DPS? Riiiiiiight 
They’re using cyclotronic punch card. It doesn’t scale and can melt the boss apparently. I missed BFA so I don’t have it.

Yeah I suspected as such… it had to be some OP trinket(s), Legion TW “twink” gear, old TW gems, or some other detail(s) these Youtubers are deliberately leaving out.
Pushing to phase 2 “before the second infernal” legit feels mathematically impossible with “standard” Shadowlands gear.
Thank you!!!
Keep trying. You’ll get it.

I think that’s because they did it on PTR where it was possible, only to have blizz for some inexplicable reason, increase the difficulty.

should add the original transmogs for beating the harder challenges before they are nerfed. after all, they are harder than the originals even

The whole thing is a cluster but it is expected since this is Blizzard.

Remember when the Blizzard name was synonymous with quality and polish? When they called themselves “The Ferrari of Video Games”?
And now we’re playing Betalands. Times change I guess.
