    I'm not expecting to keep up with top world guilds, but I don't think 2-3 bosses is unreasonable either. Having some LFR gear obviously won't hurt, but you've only got 3 bosses worth next week, and if that little bit of gear is pushing you over, then simply refining your tactic a little better would have done the same.

    I really don't mind the difficulty, we can definitely do it as is, just feel it's slightly overtuned for it's position in the instance.

    Edit since you mentioned having heroic gear from HoF/Terrace and not LFR, misread. But in an interview just this last week they said that the first couple of bosses should be in reach for guilds that were around 14/16-16/16 normal. I don't think they had any intention of requiring heroic gear for the first few bosses.

    Elixir of ancient knowledge + rested xp + darkmoon faire, all while doing pet battles. was getting 788k per pet battle at one point. Sad to see it fixed.

    About the Horridon encounter, it took us like 3 hours of wiping to down it thats after a complete 1 shot of the first boss. Even though a lot of those wipes where fuck ups and what-not but those frost trolls ahaha. When we did kill it, it was intense as fuck and we had 1 tank for about 40%. And my team are all 497-500 ilevel (6/16 HC 5.1) We are having issues with the Elders now, seems a little overtuned in 10man honestly even with our gear but its a lot to learn in one encounter as well.

    The 2nd and 3rd encounters are definitely a little too hard for normal mode 10-mans. It took my group about 6 hours total to get to 3/12, and we were 10/16H before the patch. A 14-16N group isn't going to stand a chance and will probably brick-wall after the 1st boss. So I foresee a bit of tuning down on those bosses.

    10 man is clearly overtuned.

    25 mans are 10+ if they're decent and raided a couple nights, even ones that were way behind in t14. 10 mans are stuck around 5-7 if they're good, only 15-16h guilds are even getting there.

    Glad we weren't the only ones. we're 4 kills down so far, with another raid on Sunday. 12/16h before patch on our end.

    Horridon's adds spawn too frequently and use their abilities way too often in 10 man. Reduce both, don't change the dino and it's fine.

    In other news, Oondasta down. I think we had ~100 people by the end + random helpers. Friend of mine got the mount.

    Edit: Coooorpses

    Elders down eventually for fuck sake. After about 3 hours of wiping we kill it on our last attempt of the night and it only drops one item. THANKS OBAMA

    After putting a post on guild recruitment forum, a guild offered to pick up me and my 4 friends. I'm thinking I might go even if all of them don't want to, its a 25man with 5 bosses down. Would hate splitting up though.

    This is kind of an accomplishment somehow.

    My guild team finally broke, so now I'm gonna pug out my semi-leet-for-gear-i-have-dps and see if anyone is willing to put up with my insistance on perfection and stupidity-free raiding. lol

    Have fun lol, between horde and alliance on Kilrogg it took about 8 pulls for a fight to stablize enough to kill him.

    Spoiler: show



    I have played a Warlock for 4 years and this is the most amazing thing I've experienced so far and thats after doing the original dreadsteed of Xoroth questline! Absolute perfect job by Blizzard on this one and the end encounter really feels like you are fighting a leader. The fight it's self is very challenging and one tiny fuck up will cost you a death. Took me about 4 hours of attempts to finally down it and it feels great! I hope other classes get to experience something like this in the future. It's nice to know that only the dedicated and skilled (not blowing my trumpet here lol) will earn their green fire, lets hope they don't nerf it!

    Yeah I remember when just straight up ANY epic mount was... well, epic.

    My first was the AV ram, and I got it when almost nobody had it. Was fucking hilarious riding to LM and capping before any horde were even on screen yet.
