On an individual player skill level? Maybe.
But the higher you go down the rankings, the more likelihood that slots are filled with a warm body or someone that shows up consistently but has to be dragged over the finish line.
You won’t kill current queen with a sandbag.
Sure but to have played mostly at that level between 300 and sometime up to 1000 it generally isn’t that bad until top 600, that’s when you start getting a lot of lemons. I think any nerfs that happen is more targeted at guilds over 400 and that is fine if they want to do those sooner, but I’m not quite sure about the timing. Moreover I hope it doesn’t mean there will be more nerfs once HoF end.
More damage lets you clear before 2nd infest and skip multiple other mechanics that loop. The way damage works it also means more passive healing. Which means more resources to use on defensive and offensive abilities, leading to faster clears, looping back to the ability to skip looping mechanics even faster.
Any serious mythic guild wasn’t failing any mechanics…they just didn’t have the stats/optimized sets/rotations to clear it. Simple numbers.
I strongly disagree with this. These nerfs all but solidify that both of our guilds 100% kill this boss before Thanksgiving and likely get HoF, and these nerfs also address the Gnome/root break problem immensely while letting guilds actually see P2 a bit more.
Severed Strands was nice in that it would let guilds actually kill stuff faster, but no amount of damage or healing would ever allow us to handle how restrictive P1 is.
I kinda hate that the way to deal with web tombs is to pretty much have everyone use immunities, seems kinda a bad design but maybe that’s me.
You won’t be skipping any part of P1 on Mythic anytime soon. The boss has inflated enough HP that forcing her to phase at 35% isn’t happening.
the #1 killer of guilds I have been in hasn’t been bosses themselves but the holidays. Combine the roster boss in the middle of the season with half your roster vacationing for thanksgiving and christmas and its gg.
Yea I corrected myself after, I think people manage to drop her at 50% so it probably won’t happen. Maybe with lust and way more buffs I could see it happening but not that soon. We also should get a powerful ring in .7 so to see if that will also be another buff.
Looks like you have not raided mythic before.
If blizzard kept the bosses as is, like the top guilds did them, there would be less than 20 guilds in the world that could do them. In fact the raiding scene would completely collapse and guilds would not only fold but players would just quit.
Why? because the difficulty is such that it is not fun. I am no talking about fight where just playing the mecanics would suffice, oh no:
dps players need to be able to pump numbers close to their theoretical sims, whislt doing the fight.
healers? same.
one raid cd in the wrong place? wipe
one personal forgotten? wipe
one kick missed, wipe
one guy that dies? wipe
you dont have the right comp with the right classes and spec, at that level of gameplay, cant do the boss.
all these guilds now have a 21 player outside coordinating and a few analysts. dont have those, ouch you are not playing the same game
Have you heard of viserio sheets? dont have them, forget it, you are shooting yourself in the foot.
etc etc.
the simple fact is this, the vast majority of mythic raiders do not have the skill level of the top 5 guilds. we are talking comparing an amateur boxer and Floyd Mayweather Jr…
I LOL’d at this.
This is my first expansion even hearing about HOF. Wtf even is that lmfao.
You should probably take it down a notch killer.
I’m all for more mythic boss nerfs! TO THE GROUND, BABY!
Typical, Mythic Raiders continue to want everything handed to them. listen, if you can’t beat the bosses how they launched then you were never meant too.
They’re initially tuned around race guilds so leaving them like that limits the content to a few dozen guilds at which point the mythic raiding scene which is already an unrewarding niche activity just falls apart.
Same here. I’ve been trying to find more information but it’s nowhere to be found. CoPilot said you could find HOF info on the Warcraft web site but what was there is extremely limited.
In general, information about RWF and HOF is slim to none. It is something they really should be pushing because generating interest in top level sport encourages everyone to play.
Case in point, lots of companies in the US have softball teams but few have cricket teams and I have to believe that’s because Major League baseball in the US is more popular than world class cricket. My guess is that in India it’s exactly the other way around.
