Was watching joshs stream for a few minutes this morning after I woke up, and it seems the guild that finished COS first used only 1 melee dps, and it was a dh

It’s fiiiiiine. Ranged players feel the same way for mythic + right now.
The balancing is really off at the moment.

oh yah I mean I dont really care, Its not like I’m a mythic raider, but Blizz desperately needs to address class balance. PVP balance is screwed. The mdi showed mythic plus balance is screwed. And now we see the raid balance is screwed.

You must be looking at Restless Cabal. That was the single DH.
Their Uu’nat kill was a single monk. Down with monks!
In all seriousness, WF kills are about doing whatever it takes to get the credit and the e-Fame. Most guilds don’t have huge rosters to stack classes if needed. And there is more than 1 way to defeat an encounter. That actually is balance.
That Method, or Pieces, or Limit realize they can drop a boss by stacking X class doesn’t mean it’s the intended or the best way to do something. It’s just what they did to defeat the boss. If, 3 months down the line the only way for 100 guilds worldwide to kill mythic Uu’nat is to stack ranged casters and only bring a single melee to the fight — THEN, you can talk about a lack of balance.

I hear you, but on the other hand we’ve done Shamans with one ranged. So I don’t really feel it matters until you get to the Mythic level. Then, once in that content, the majority of players seem to have a stable of characters to mix and match according to the needs of the encounter.
We had a Mythic raiding couple join us for a few months when we were getting established. It was eye-opening. Here was the discussion when he saw me out on a remote add:
Him: “What are you doing out there? Get back on the Boss.”
Me: “You said they were a priority”
Him: “A Rogue should never be out there.”
His wife: “Hon. She has to be out there - we only have one ranged.”
Him: “We only have… what?!?”
Team: ~general laughter all around~
Him to his friends that had joined him in his mad attempt to relax: “I want two ranged leveled by next week. Mage and whatever.”

It has everything to do with them tuning CoS to an incredible level.
Pieces kill was at 731 wipes. Method is over 730 without a kill.
And they have no ways to gear up like a normal tier.
Imo its poor of Blizzard to make a boss this hard. If hes not gutted with nerfs guilds outside the top 20 dont even need to bother trying no matter their gear.

Balance should not and cannot be tuned around Mythic WF progression. This is not a balance issue.

But thats what they so, just like they use the MDI to make decisions.
The game needs a new set of ball bearings.

Encounter tuning is more the issue.
You’ll never have every fight, equally make every spec of equal benefit to a raid fight unfortunately.
These fights this time around were very oddly tuned numerically and that should be addressed.
People shouldn’t wait months for there to be enough nerfs that they can safely go in with a more varied comp to do Mythic progression I’d imagine.
At least it isn’t 12 warlocks lol. But yeah Blizz should reconsider how they test, tune/balance these fights in the future. This coming from a non-raider lol
11 warlocks…lol…class balance…lmao.
