Do you consider this encounter a hard mechanic fight? or a hard fight at all?
On the topic of 4 horsemen, i'm curious: It was not possible to 5 tanks this encounter? (it's a Genuine question)
Like one tank for each horseman (at the start tank 1 is tanking horseman 1, tank 2 is tanking horseman 2etc...), the 5th one stand in the safe spot and take no stacks. Then when it is requires to swap, tank 5 (with no stacks) take horseman 1, tank 1 take horseman 2, tank 2 take horseman 3 etc... and tank 4 go in the safe zone to drop it stacks.
I agree that having 8 tanks makes it much safer, but if it was so hard to have 8, why guilds didn't try with 5?
