DREAM Paragon kills Heroic Ragnaros in 10-Man
Since DREAM Paragon still holds the only recorded kill of Ragnaros in heroic mode, it is probably worth reporting that they also killed the 10-Man version as well. Congratulations to them, see their statement below!

After a very deserving break from a tight raiding schedule that we kept for the past few weeks, we went back in to the Firelands. The goal was pretty simple: Check out the fights on 10-man heroic to gauge their relative difficulty compared to 25-mans. There's been so much discussion on various community sites about this topic, saying that 10-mans are "overtuned" and near unkillable and whatnot. Others saying it's the other way around.

After a quick clear of the filler bosses yesterday, we decided to go all out on Ragnaros today. We begun importing our 25-man tactics and had multiple very silly wipes. Once we realized we could just ditch the overly complicated tactics, we made several P4 wipes. Soon afterwards we were able to slay him and get the world first 10-man Ragnaros Heroic kill as well.

All in all, Ragnaros on the 10-man Heroic mode took 32 wipes in total with everything (such as multiple disconnects) included.

That said, we're happy with Feral performance in PvE overall. It we were to nerf Predatory Swiftness, it'd have a minor impact on PvE. Unheeded Warning is both a PvE and PvP problem. The particular mechanics of the trinket keep it disproportionately powerful for Feral druids. Nerfing Berserk would have PvE ramifications, but we'll take steps overall to make sure your dps doesn’t drop in PvE. We do everything we can to ensure we're considering all aspects of gameplay when approaching class balance. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Feral stealth isn't superior to Rogue's
Given that they are exactly the same mechanically, this shouldn't be the case. This has been a particularly pervasive myth that I'd like to lay to rest. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

The fact that this shouldn't be the case, doesn't mean it isn't. Also, saying its a myth, or believing it must be, does not make it so.
You're correct. Merely saying something isn't so, doesn't mean a thing.

Knowing that they're the same ability used by different classes, and knowing that this exact issue has been tested, repeatedly, in response to claims otherwise, does. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Feral Instinct
This is correct, choosing the Feral spec and gaining Feral Instinct merely brings Feral spec Stealth into line with Rogue baseline stealth (whose talents have been rolled into the ability). (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

    I love how all the 10 man people get insecure about their raid difficulty when it's really put on display that 10 mans are easier. Look, no matter what you want to say about how many attempts they did and knowing it on 25 makes it easier for 10, the fact is that a guild who has killed it on 25 and on 10 says it's easier on 10. So until the rest of us kill it on both, it's kind of hard for us to have as good of an idea of the difficulty for either tier. And for all the people saying it's easier to do on 25 and then go to 10, well just consider that if you do it on 10 first and then go to 25, it will only get harder as well. Fact remains the same, 10 mans are easier, and they always will be. They added the same loot to 10 as 25 so the casual players (10 mans) could still feel like they were accomplishing something.Kudos to Paragon, let's put this stupid argument to rest.

    Have you even done the 25-man heroic Ragnaros? Like, up to P4 maybe? Even that would clue you in on how much harder it is. We're not discrediting anything. Raiding 10-mans is a perfectly legitimate form of raiding. It just happens to be easier and it's in a different bracket because of its size. I have no idea why you post such nonsense.

    What we are discrediting are the completely baseless forum rants about Ragnaros being significantly harder in the 10-man heroic mode, claiming that it's near unkillable and whatnot.
    Unless you bend over backwards, you are not going to get every single buff for a 10 man guild, and if you do, you dont have all the highest dps taking advantage of all those dps boosts. And a prime example on sinestra, you only have two orbs 25m. You also have 2 orbs 10 man, jacking 2 of our 8 people capable of gettings orbs, often 2 dps.

    Well I never thought Paragon was good for anything (meaningless first kills only proved how much time they spend away from real life accomplishments) but at least their supreme lack of priorities has at least taken down retard 10-man-ers who are foolish enough to think they have it so much harder then real raiders (25-mans)

    25 mans are at the very least as hard as 10 mans if not significantly harder. This may be the only time I say it but "Thanks and congratulations Paragon"

    Paragons post said they had an MM hunter in their team.
    From their kill screenshot in their website.

    Also, it came to my attention today that Firefly33 did the same job before me, but with hordelinge (another top 10man guild) here in this thread in page 6.
    The results are almost identical.

    The numbers just speak for themselves....
    The people that killed twice ragnaros hc have just 1 ilvl more than the best -so far- 10man guild....
    Please stop this argument with the heavily overgeared 25man players going in 10man and "stealing" kills.
