Enter the raid Ny’alotha, the Waking City on Heroic difficulty and defeat N’Zoth the Corruptor.

Those are some bold statements, Blizzard o.O

they had to have meant Estimated time to kill all the trash before you can do any of the bosses 2 hours

Edit: Idk if it’s still as bad with trash like it was at launch, but I HATED how long it took us to do just the trash before even making attempts on bosses.

Ya… I’m not really sure what they mean by “estimated time.” If the whole raid is at around 445 (in good gear, not hodge podge thrown together world gear), and everyone knows exactly what to do… Sure… that seems reasonable. If any of those are false though… uhhh… You’re not even guaranteed to get it done at all… let alone 2 hours.

Uh, the 2 hour estimate is for getting your cloak. The ilvl thing… very wrong I think.

Took my party 4h and it was a pug. Im sure a guild can do it in 2h or less.

I mean, it’s entirely dependent on the pug. Some pugs… literally cannot kill the boss. Heck some pugs can’t kill H Wrathion. While other pugs full of mythic raider alts… blast through the entire instance in an hour.

445 for Heroic N’zoth is almost as downright-ludicrous a statement as 470 for Mythic.

9

They go off of ex- world first raiders who have tested for them for a long time. It’s a given pugs will take much longer or a non optimal group.

I’m pretty sure if you just went into Mythic N’zoth with a flat 470 item level your group wouldn’t be able to reliably beat Psychus 1.

I wouldn’t be surprised after seeing how that was tuned lol

The amount of trash in the NWC alone takes two hours it feels like. This whole expansion has had a (unnecessarily high) amount of trash to clear in the raids.

My guild can full clear in a night(3 hours) but our full clears were split between two days anyway. Up to illy then finish Monday.
