Archimonde Heroic was pretty difficult IIRC, but was still cleared by all top guilds week 1. Any chance they made heroic KJ super overtuned? Havn't seen much of the fight on the PTR.

It's Heroic. The better question is if there's any chance H Kil'Jaeden survives longer than 24 hours. Nobody managed to kill him on the PTR (as far as I'm aware) So that might give some hope though on a not instant kill
In ptr people was at 905 ilvl and boss had more than 9 billions of hp with 30 people, so everyone die in intermission (80%) top guilds are close 920 and gonna be a few ilvl more when they meet kiljaelden. so it should die in 24 or 48 hrs.
If no guilds clear H KJ in the first week, then the encounter is likely out of reach for the vast majority of guilds without substantial nerfs. This is not good design and would be a catastrophic failure on Blizzard's part.
Last boss in a heroic instance should be hard, yes, but it shouldn't be harder than any mythic bosses beyond the first two or three.
Ya Archimonde was tough enough that it wasn't worth spending time on with such large splits by the top guilds. IIRC the first guild to down him on heroic was paragons alt guild or something like that and then the rest downed him later in the week after finishing up their business. Tho there was definitely some guilds putting multiple nights into just heroic archimonde on week 1 (and for worse guilds, beyond week 1, being 2/13 or 3/13 mythic before downing H Archi).
I think KJ may likely be tough (tougher than gul'dan heroic) but i'd be surprised if as tough as archimonde still.
Definitely won't survive the entire week, would be poor design and tuning if it did.
A more fun question is how long mythic KJ lasts. Where's the office pool on that?
Why would anyone even care about Heroic? No one is keeping score. Mythic is where the race starts.
I recently joined a new guild on my main, after previous guild fell apart over poor attendance in May (even officers and raid leaders weren't showing up).
I am still getting to know new guild mates, but we are opening with 3 nights a week, hoping to clear H and start M sometime in July. Guess I should get off MMO-C and get back to studying YouTube videos for the raid.
In heroic he will die on the first day depending on who raids, after Wed/Thurs dead for sure many times over. Heroic is such a joke most guilds that go bananas in mythic progression don't adjust raid times during heroics.

3 nights a week and you are okay with being in heroic for up to 6 weeks, Yuck.
