Is it real?
My experience, and even documentation when they first merged, and reports later on, is: yes.
I got 7 items out of Ulduar, as my group did about half of the hard modes on top of a full clear. Most people I ask about this say they don’t, so what’s your experience? Aside from most of the HMs being an absolute bulldoze, that is.
My warrior was in a group that did Hodir and thorim HM. Hard to believe you got that many pieces from it, but guess that’s why they nerfed the drop rate.
I got 4,plus 1 from the dungeon cache.
Not every boss has a hard mode and they aren’t a bulldoze, unless you had every player in azerite and all essences, flasks, pots, etc…
even then…
FL, you can do 0-4 towers, which most people are too pussie to do even 1 tower.
Razor and Ignis don’t have a HM.
XT heartbreaker, which I doubt anyone did.
Council, again I doubt anyone did hm
Kologarn has no hm really
Auriaya has no hm
Freya doubt anyone did at least one guardian up, most just kill em all, too much pussified
Hodir and thorim is time based, the easier hard modes, that is if you don’t have idiots
Mimiron…maybe but they still haven’t fixed the bug of his pull, so I doubt anyone clicked the button
Vezax, yeah, no one is doing that
Yogg, again, too much pussified people to do even 3 lights in the darkness. Everyone activates all keepers.
Wet dream of mine to do 0-1 keepers in yogg. Like I said… too many pugs, baddies and pussified players.
I watched my guild nearly do Yogg 0, hitting a 10% wipe before people even realized the keepers weren’t active. That fight and Mimiron are egregiously undertuned, and Freya can almost be zerged down in Bloodlust and cleaving down the first pack on her HM.
Iron Council’s HM doesn’t give an extra chest, but Flame Leviatiahn, XT, and all four keepers do; however, XT is easily the hardest boss of the bunch. I did 4T FL in both groups, since the only thing required is Demos rolling Pyrite (can be done with as little as 2 of the 4 doing it), and arguably some flame vent interrupts. The Burning Tar was bugged, so we easily killed it with no vehicle deaths when we told them to stop using it, since it damages our own vehicles at an unscaled rate.
Having Azerite gear is absolutely not required–I didn’t even have any left, using the neck by itself.
So… which HMs did you do…
FL, XT, Hodir, Thorim, Freya. Would’ve done Mimiron and Yogg had we known how easy it was going to be. We didn’t attempt Yogg because it’s long, and his Mark is broken on the tuning.
So what you’re saying is your vehicles lived through being frozen, plants didn’t do much damage, and the other abilities didn’t wipe you…
What a laugh at such.
And that every demo maintained 10 stacks of pyrite? Even while being attacked frozen, chased.
Sorry, but you broke the bs meter
I don’t know why you’re even hitting the 4T mechanics. He dies with 4 Demos opening and only 2 rolling into the end. It sounds like your groups were just incredibly bad.
Anyway, the loot nerf kinda confirmed it for me. Most of my guildies doing full clears non-HM only got 3-4 pieces average. Bummer.
