    I killed 2 heroic bosses the first week they were out in MSV and that was it. I was not impressed with this raid teirs mechanics so I stopped raiding for the first time since the start of wrath. Reusing mechanics from old bosses is just laziness and not very fun when you did the exact same thing but with a different looking boss a few years ago.

    You will find the majority of people that post on mmo champ will be heroic raiders. Most casuals are not interested in a site like this.

    Something you failed to deduce from your sound logic:

    I'm only at a megar 482 ilvl. If i had anywhere near the item level of the other paladin in that raid, I would rape the meters.
    Then get to that iLevel and prove it.

    Also you have your Fearless title, right?

Those HCs that "you did" we can do it like 8 man with 2 leeches, many guilds even selling MV HC clear, I wonder those that bought the clear, since they can pretty much have it rather easy, do they find HCs easy also?
    Well you obviously dont know the minds and time tables of me and my guild do you? It couldn't have possibly been that we were all on a strict time table to finish and get out of there, that we decided to bite the bullet and just do it on faceroll normal stone guard to get through on time. Nope couldn't have been that at all.

    Lol, first people pull the card "herpa derp, have you killed any bosses on HC?" Then they pull the card "herpa derp, u killd easy hc bos! u mus kil hard hc bos or u nub!"

    I won't lie, *SOME* of the heroics I would rate on an easier scale.
    However, there are plenty that are much harder.

    Stone Guards / Feng / Elegon / Blade / Wind / Garalon / Lei Shi are considered more on the "easier" scale.
    Kings and Will are a bit more challenging as far as MV goes.
    I haven't raided much heroic content in HOF yet, but a few fights don't seem too bad so far.
    I absolutely agree with this on Heroics terms.

    Elegon is faceroll, as are Stone Guard, Feng, and Garajal.

    Garalon is only difficult due to the DPS requirement but my guild took him down without an issue the first night we attempted him, along with the other night without a few of our core members.

    Bladelord and Windlord are also very, very easy. I find Windlord even easier on Heroic than Normal mode as well.

    Imperial Vizier, Amber Shaper, and Grand Empress though I will say are a nice bump up in difficulty compared to the rest, along with Will and Spirit Kings.

    I think from what I've seen most of the Heroic bosses for Terrace are difficult as well.

    You don't think after all this time you've been posting here, and claimed to be "super hardcore", while making arguments for those people, then having no evidence whatsoever that you're in one of the amazing, cream of the crop guilds on this game, there's a reason people react this way?

    You said the Heroics are easy, yet neither you nor I have our Fearless titles.

    Down the content, call it easy.

    Until then, don't trounce on it.

    1) I have not raided HC since TBC

    2) Thats how a person breaks away from the mediocre normal mode raiding scene into the heroic raiding scene isnt it? You prove yourself and impress some heroic raiders, they tell their friends in the guild, they invite the person that impressed them to the guild, they trial them, and they find out that they found a gem among the mass of coal out there.

    3) (point 2 is exactly how I broke my way into a heroic raiding guild)

    4) People saying that you have to commit a huge time commitment to heroic raiding is just plain false. If you are good enough, and have the desire and motivation to break into the heroic raiding scene, you can. This guild only raids like 6 hours a week too.

    Thank you.

    It's like Dragon Soul Heroic.

    The ONLY 2 bosses I found marginally difficult in there were Warlord Zonozz and Spine of Deathwing pre debuff.

    We downed Zonozz pre nerf, not Spine. Took until 10% debuff.

    And looking back now, the only boss I find truly hard out of those two is Spine.

    Dragon Soul was an easy raid.

    And the same goes for Firelands. The only hard boss in there on Heroic was Ragnaros, and it took my guild the nerf to him to take him down.

    I've never judged a raid in terms of difficulty before I've cleared all the content. That's just being ignorant and arrogant otherwise.

    You proved my point that people will always call: "herpa derp, where is your heroic <insert xyz boss here> kill???" as an argument.

    Also to all those hating on me for my accomplishments, the point of the thread wasn't do discuss my accomplishments, it was to see where people were at in terms of their heroic raid progression. This isnt a "oh hey another jaylock thread, lets bash him into oblivion until a moderator locks the thread"

    Are you kidding on point 4? I raid 4 nights a week and we're 8/16. That's a LOT of commitment.

    These top guilds spend their entire weeks, whether they're sponsored to actually raid or not.

    They spend hours without sleep, doing attempt after attempt, in the hundreds, just to take down a boss.

    That's a HUGE time commitment.

    Certain guilds though, like my former who only raids about 8-10 hours a week, 2 nights a week, are 16/16 because they make it work.

    But if you want to get more content down, there has to be a strategy, and certain time constraints to it as well.

    Our group 2 clears ALL 3 raid and do about 8 HC, in ONE night, while try to attempt a new progression boss at the same time. Once you have cleared something on HC, unless it is something that you can barely make, otherwise most would clear it even if it takes 2-3 tries, unless you might wipe endlessly on it?

    MV is a joke anyway, and tbh, a few boss in HoF is a joke as well, Windlord HC comes to mind (that fight is probably easier than normal), but if you do something like Vizer, Amber Shaper, Empress, I am sure you won't say "HCs are easy", well, if you insist so, I await for your kill and say it.

    I agree *some* HCs are bloody easy, well all the ones you did are, Stone Guard is, SK some finds it hard some finds it easy, Will, whether people find that easy or not but everyone I know hated it even if they can 1-shot it.

    The point is with the way you said "HCs are easy", you imply that all HC fights are easy. I am not saying ALL are hard because I agree some are really easy, but I would not say all HCs are easy, can you at least agree on this?

    People came in here doing that because you're not listening to their opinions, like I just said. Your statement to it is the whole "herp derp, where is your heroic <insert xyz boss here> kill???"

    Because it's a solid argument.

    You can't call it that type of argument when you can't even argue against it, and then try and divert your post to a personal attack on yourself, when you're not debating this with me further.

    Now, Jaylock, stay on topic please, and argue my point. How is it a "herp derp" argument.

    Actually....

    Our group 2 only raid 1 night a week (5 hours straight though), and comfortably sitting on 9HC at the moment, and probably trying Amber Shaper HC this week....

    Those top guilds that spent hours daily, already cleared the contents, and now even 5 hours a week, with the amount of time this raid tier has been out, many less-time guilds have gone much further now.

    It is a HUGE time commitment to raid HC to world top 100

    You can do 5-10HC in 1 night raid guilds now, and trust me, they exist.

    Oh, no, I don't doubt that for a second.

    But are you talking in terms of farmed content, or doing progression bosses?

    That one night they do, included both.

    They will never get any new HC boss if they don't progress in the first place.

    But they still clear all raids every night.

    The time commitment is more at the beginning but once content is cleared then we raid much less than other raiding guilds. All in all, progression guilds, especially guilds that attempt to social casual progress spend much more time raiding than hardcore raiding guilds from beginning to end of the tier. We raid one night a week clearing everything from start to finish and then schedule a alt run on the weekend for melee to gear range toons as I would have to say every progression tier is better with range, or at least starts out that way.

    All in all you put in a lot of time at first but only the first part of the tier then you pretty much coast through until the next xpac raiding once a week, alt run on weekend and ptr time until the next patch. Most ppl have all the gear they want and dont even raid in the main group but still do the alt run on the weekends to have geared bench players. Then of course the PTR but the boss fights arent up as often as one would like but you can still mess around with the new changes.

    I've quoted myself just so people who keep lavishing hate on me will quit and calm the f down. "so far from what i've seen"

    Does that imply that EVERY heroic boss is easy? No.

    Does that imply that I have killed EVERY heroic boss? No.

    Where people fathom up these half-wit ideas in their brains is beyond me. Read people.


    Also:

    Doesn't me joining a guild of people that I have never before met, raid heroic raids with them on the second week that I have joined, at an item level of 482 say anything about their trust in my skill as a raider?

    Would you invite a ilvl 482 player into your guild, having never met them before... them not putting in any sort of application for guild membership in... Would you invite a player like that into your guild? Most likely not. Most heroic guilds are complete assholes about guild recruitment and require astronomical amounts of gear and experience before they invite a person. So just think about that. I have already admitted to not having been in the heroic raiding scene since TBC.

    Hmm, alright.

    My argument was more-so geared toward progression bosses, not farming content, but I get what you're saying.

    So you cherry picked the encounters that changed the least and / or were easiest - you're not doing much to change your reputation for bias statements.

    Cleared MV, Blade Lord, Wind Lord and Garalon on heroic so far, working on Vizier and should have that down as soon as people stop being idiots.

    Overall, the tier has been one of the most enjoyable raiding tiers I've ever done, possibly the best and I'm only half way through it. As long as blizzard keep up this quality and don't go nerfing heroic modes before the tier is over, I'm going to be a very happy raider this expansion, I'd almost lost hope with raiding after FL and DS, so it's a nice turnaround.

    Calling heroics easy after doing this tiers equivalent of Morchock will get that response, what more do you expect? You can't go claiming Rhyolith / Beth / Ragnaros heroic easy just because Shannox is trivial, raid encounters have varying difficulty in the bosses available, both on normal and heroic. You just make yourself look like a tool when you suggest heroics are easy this tier when guilds like Method are saying it's one of the hardest tiers blizzard have ever put out.
