Ya we are a semi serious mythic guild who have been farming itemlevel pretty heavily until now. Don't expect for more casual guilds to clear Normal mode first week, even though it was compared to flex. It will be progression. These difficulties don't line up completely, its an entirely new system.
In my mind casual guilds should just disregard Mythic. Pretend they just removed flex, and Normal and Heroic are the same as SoO, which is what it feels like with current ilvls - they just added Mythic above those two for super hardcore raiders.
Loved this fight, it's so chaotically fun.
My suggestion - Once you spawn two - focus one down and then lust to deal with the first set of 4 (this will be the only time you have 5 mobs up). Once you have dealt with the first set of 4, focus the other guy and just take it slow. Much less chaotic at that point.
Have your ranged move left when the mountain shit spawns
Have individual players run left when the get the red fire shit
Sorry, can't remember the ability names at this moment.
The game is VERY VERY Different now from TBC, People are expecting it to be easy in this normal (old flex) mode, it's the 2nd lowest level of raiding, since it now goes LFR (free loot) Normal (next to free loot) Heroic (Normal difficulty) Mythic (Hardmodes) If Normal bosses are giving some groups this much trouble, can't imagine what heroic does to people's egos...
"The Maw's thirst is unquenchable. If it is not fed fresh victims, it will not hesitate to drink from its wielder instead."
And what exactly do you find wrong with doing mythic? We plan on it. Like it or not. FYI we cleared flex.nm siege in less then 2 hours. We've gotten down most of throne when it was current as well as t 14. Sure we've never done the hardest difficult available be we play the game alot more seriously than an lfr hero. Lfr is a joke

Tectus is the camera boss. Man I don't even KNOW what to do with my camera on that damn fight. I just birds-eyed it, and the fight itself we rolled over, but... ugh, camera issues galore. Very unpleasant.
My guild went at Tec for nearly an hour before deciding to just go do Brackenspore. I'd say Brackenspore is harder and to top it off it's around a 10min+ long fight. Tec is all mechanics. Our guild will be going back at Tec on Thursday and I suspect we'll kill it within a couple of attempts.
Slightly off-topic question: What boss did you guys have the most fun on? For us killing Brackenspore was the most rewarding, but I gotta say Kargath was the most fun despite how easy he was.

3-shot with a mix of alts/mains/socials. I'd say it's mostly about getting used to the mechanics and every single person knowing what to do with the debuff, but the end part is really chaotic and I can understand that a lot of guilds will hit a wall here.
He feels like Horridon all over again.
We oneshot Kargath, twoshot Butcher and Bracken, then we wipe like 20 times to this fucker, and this is a heroic/few mythic team we're talking about. WE HIT ENRAGE. WE FUCKING HIT ENRAGE ON NORMAL.
He's definitely overtuned when an organized Heroic/Mythic group is having trouble with Normal (old Flex)
Still wondering why I play this game.
I'm a Rogue and I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall that is updated for BfA.
He's not really overtuned at all. Don't stand in shit, punch him till he dies. I'm guessing when you were hitting enrage you had a lot of people dead from failing at #1. We wiped once because we had a bad plan for dealing with purple smoke, then easily killed it on our second pull.

Right so we're progressing on him now. When the main boss shatters into 2 shards, shouldn't those shards have less health than the previous big boss? The big boss has 15 mil, the shards have 16...
My guild killed him last night (I was away due to server issues). They said he wasn't bad.
those tears wouldn't have been shed from high end guilds. They would adapt like they always do to down bosses. I know you don't like gearing that, as you probably have some weird issue in your mind about high-end guilds, but it's the truth. It would be the casuals shedding tears because now they don't have dbm telling "move away little girl" every time something bad happens and they keep wiping
Normal mode isn't supposed to 3shot people from standing in the red clouds. At his current state, Normal Tectus is harder than anything in Mythic SoO was, including Garrosh.
Cleared it today with our 636 geared raid on heroic without too many issues.
Was there a stealth nerf? We killed him (normal) at 8.29, and I thought the enrage was 8 minutes?
