    Cool Invasion Shadow Council Platinum - possible?

    So far I tried it about 15 times and every single time my group is 5-30 points short of Platinum.
    No matter how groups are geared, what buffs are using, its always the same.
    All other invasions were one-shot platinums.
    Is there a secret with shadow council one?

    Wasn't Shadow Council also the one that people weren't able to get gold with earlier due to there not being enough mobs? Could be the same in this situation - Not enough mobs to get Platinum.

    I've run into the same problem. The first time I thought it was because we had one lower geared player in the group, but still got within 150 points. Figured it would be easy with a 680+ geared group, but again still short of platinum. Seems like we were all standing around waiting for spawns during the fight.

    Some invasions are indeed tougher than others, but Shadow Council in its current state is too much of a pain to get platinum. It's pretty much what Iron Horde was like initially, not enough spawns, and they buffed that, but Shadow Council needs a buff too. By comparison, I can do botani and get 2k without batting an eye

    Got platinum on it, 3 mythic geared players barely making it with 1325 points. Assuming it drops 665 rewards it needs a huge spawn buff.

    No, that was IH, which is probably the hardest one because shit doesn't spawn, but it's definitely doable.
    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.

    I'm 3 for 3 Platinums so far. Shadow Council, Iron Horde, and Shadowmoon. Can't recall which one it was, but we ended with 1340 points. So yah, it's possible but you probably need everyone to be at least 675+ for the hardest ones.

    If it looks like you're not going to get platinum you can hearth out to end the invasion early. You get like an hour debuff though so if you pulled them from group finder they won't be happy, but it's your invasion I guess

    Possible but random, there's something iffy with spawns in a lot of invasions. We did Iron Horde twice and there was a several hundred point difference with the exact same group. Why? Because at times there simply weren't any spawns and jokes like that. Also had mobs spawn INSIDE buildings and then stand around in there or walk straight through walls.

    Honestly after getting platin once for the achievments, I'd advise everyone to just go for the "easy" (less buggy) invasions for the satchels.

    Yes, they are all possible - I have done each type at platinum, although I must say some were a lot closer than others.

    As others noticed, after you kill the last boss, extra bonus points pop up... but they are not added to your current total.
    Would be really nice to ear about this from Blizz.

    I got it on my first try, we were all ilvl 690+ so I guess it makes a difference just how fast mobs die.

    At least I didn't notice anything particularly difficult about it. I think we ended up having 1330 points or so.

    Got it in 3rd attempt.. Me, Boomie, and 2 hunters.. I was 659 and group finder was set to 640+ (so I guess that what leader was)..
    We ended at 1344.. Comfortable win, almost didn't need end boss..

    EDIT: Typo

    It's not extra bonus points, it's the total for each type of mob you killed during the invasion, a recap.

    How many players can do invasions? Max?

    I usually go with three but i thought hat was the max. Got 1215 with 3 players once on shadow council invasion. Botani seems harder but I only tried that once (post 6.1).

    A good trick for shadow is that who have invasione use 2 followers, one bodyguard (dk) and another between those that run for garrison, after few try, garona is the best because oneshot many mobs using his assassination trait.
