The Nighthold Mythic Race Progression

[ls-]

How can you be sure Serenity isn't just retarded? Can you say for an absolute fact that 3 DHs is the best comp for mythic Gul'dan?

If someone literally had a gun to your head, and they asked you, "Is it optimal to bring 3 DHs to mythic Gul'dan?" and they will kill you if you get the question wrong or don't answer, would you be absolutely sure that you can get that question right 100% of the time?

No one knows for sure. We'll find out whose comp is better when someone kills Gul'Dan

Exorsus decided to 2heal it, unless one/two of their priests who were in shadow last week, are in disco/holy now, and have 16 DDs w/ 3 SPs and 3 assa rogues. Serenity decided to stack DHs

best race ever

I doubt he'd get 20k, he definitely wouldn't maintain it.

You're overestimating WoW's popularity on Twitch.

A big Q&A Blizzard stream goes as far as 7-80k. You are underestimating the number of viewers when theres actually something to see except Towelliee and a bunch of random non name streams, even then it gets over 20k.

Mythic Gul'Dan has no phase 1, it starts with phase 2 and has a miniboss. BTW, he wasn't fixed until reset, which also explains guilds not wasting more time on him:

The Nighthold
Gul’dan
Resolved an issue that could cause Empowered Bonds of Fel to instantly detonate.

So on Mythic you dont get the first phase where you fight the demons and go straigh to where he destroys the roof? Or do you skip the first few % before he summons the adds?

How do you know btw?

best race ever

Wouldn't say ever, but this is at least exciting again for the first time in a long time

Serenity 6/10

Question would be: does it take more time for them because they don't use an optimal composition?
I assume for Augur they will change...

Indeed, if 20k people can be bothered to watch Towelface and they aren't 15k viewbots then pretty much anyone can get 20k viewers

In other news: people here reading too much into the fact that guild X had Y amount of extra attempts.

"Serenity must have seen something no one else has seen so far, so they will walk away with the WF".

Raiding isn't always as mysterious as your daydreams. More often than not it's simply about numbers and execution, and not about secret phases, mysterious mechanics and tactics more obscure than the Coca Cola recipe.
It's not a Dan Brown novel, it's a scientific research paper.

Are you having a bad day or something? You seem downright upset about people being interested in and entertained by this race.

From the journal, also clarified by WH:

In Phase 1, you will be fighting Gul'dan like in Phase 2 in HC, but Hand of Gul'dan will summon a mini-boss (abilities aren't documented) rather than a Dreadlord of the Twisting Nether.
Phase 2 of Mythic is, apparently, like Phase 3 on lower difficulties but possibly without some information.
Phase 3 is unknown.

Last week they had 5 healers, this week they replaced 3 of them w/ 3 DDs.

That's because they're on Augur now, you can't judge their setup for Gul'Dan for a few hours until they kill him.

Interesting that it is taking Serenity that long to get back to 9/10 in the re-run

It's normal, Augur and Elisande aren't any easier.

It's not Blizz raid frames I'm quite sure, the rest is though.

Well seeing as I'm using the exact same raid frames and they are indeed blizzard's, you're wrong on this one

[Daan]

Phase 3 is unknown.

Ah I see. Actually a shame because that phase transition is epic. Maybe he summons the same minibosses that he brings in on heroic in phase 1, which would probably mean some very shitty ability overlap.

What is this real? (not at home right now)
You have to fight a possessed Illidan next to guldan? Oh man cant wait to see

I know, but that just says what Khagdar tries, however cinematic shows us that the vessel doesn't arrive until the fight is over, so you will likely have to fight a demonic shade of Illidan, some monstrosity, a possesed Khagdar, etc.

Yes it's real, and this is why I've been saying there's a secret phase. We know that we fight a possessed Illidan, but we understand nothing of the mechanics and logistics of that phase. No one will until they've seen it personally or seen a kill video. It's just like Archimonde.

If they want the cinematic to make even a shred of sense it's probably gonna be a demonic spirit or something like that.

won't be the first time the cinematic doesn't line up with the mythic only phase

>implying the archimonde cinematic made sense after fighting him in the nether
