This is true, the 20% nerf to HP made the boss have less health than it did in a previous +7.

I remember the first NW after the nerf and was very confused as to where the boss disappeared too so quickly. Then looked at how severe the nerfs were and it made sense. Iâm not saying nerfs can never be valid as sometimes they can but this one seemed way over the top and way too early.

Usually how Blizzard does things though. They come in heavy handed because they donât test things. The unfortunate part is that Blizzard almost never makes content harder once they nerf it. This is how things end up like DF S3.
I will admit I love seeing all the I got 3k rating in df s3 but canât get 2.5 this season the game is too hard. They do make me laugh. Then when you point out some very basic facts to them they try to make goalposts like well for pug or non meta classes ect. Then I show up with a dev evoker (non meta) that only did pugged keys happily sitting above 2.6k and then itâs some excuse that makes no sense.

LMAO yes! Then I just say âhello, pug prot paladin hereâ. Which leads to another goalpost.

My conclusion is they are less evolved than chimps. Give a chimp a tool and they learn to use it. Give those players all the tools like IO and wowlogs and they donât understand and fail to use them hence failing to pug successful key runs.

Thatâs the same argument about addons where some people claim DBM and WA are âplaying the game for youâ. If that was the case everyone would be getting the top rewards. Tools are only as good as the person using it.

Exactly. Ever notice how the people that parrot this also seem to have 100 asmomgold fan boy posts? Though the vast majority of those players this late into the tier still donât have basics like aotc and are 7/8h. Yet for some reason despite them not being able to complete heroic reward level content feel that mythic reward level content should be easily done by them? How do you come to that conclusion?

I donât think thatâs necessarily what they meant.
8âs are easy for farming guilded crests but you want to make sure you time them. A lot of high IO players are doing 8âs for the gilded farm.
So when a person is listing an 8 they have to decide if they want someone just progging into an 8, or a high IO player that is farming lower keys like an 8. So that makes it tough.

Thank you but even then itâs not that much different for he was always blown up and if u didnât blow him up you would simply die from the abominations murdering the tank or the healer going oom.
I personally never saw him beyond three pull down phases, near always died by the end of second one.
Glad he was nerfed, having outlier bosses in a dungeon is always more trouble than theyâre worth.

Nor did I but you gotta admit 1 pull down phase and 2 is a vast difference. A boss shouldnât last less than a minute with tyrannical active. You can pop 1 min cds on pull for example (you shouldnât do this) and they still wouldnât be up when you pull the next boss.
Sure but ultimately Iâm fine with it. He was such an outlier it was ridiculous. No other bosses before he was nerfed required such an exact precise method to kill him with zero room for mistakes and requiring insane DPS and HPS together in such a short window.

This is the key point. Itâs not the affix that is the issue, itâs the crest penalty for not timing that people care about most. That is why people are being so selective. If you got the same crests for depleting people wouldnât care nearly as much.

TBF this is a gauntlet boss. Stitchflesh is just the final part of it.
You didnât actually have to do him this way. You could always just do the fight the way it was intended (killing off golems after each hook phase). But people got so used to the zerg method in SL that nobody wanted to do that.
Stitchflesh is boss 3. Did you read my post? Stitchflesh the entire encounter dies in less than 45 seconds. So if you pop 1 min cds at the start (again donât do this wait for him to be hooked) they still wouldnât be up again when you reach the last boss of the dungoen.
Incorrect. DiDyOuReAdMyPoSt??!>!!
Stitchflesh is a gauntlet. The encounter starts when the two mobs spawn from the portals, and ends when Stitchflesh himself dies.

No itâs not as you can wipe past that point durring either of the 2 trash spawns after and the fight doesnât reset now does it?
On a 10? There is no way the healer lasts that long
You have to remember that in the list applicants, youâre under 5 other dudes with the same class but more gear and higher score than you.
You have to keep applying until all the people above you found their group and you naturally become the top dog in the list.
And then someone with slightly less gear and score than you will make a post just like yours because theyâre getting declined because you took âtheir spotâ.
