Frost mage artifact challenge... after 100+ wipes

[Deleted]

So.. This was agonizing. And rewarding as nothing before.

I used to QQ a lot a month ago, since i had 880 ilvl and felt bad for not being able to do this. To the point that i quit wow for a month... only to come back and grind some M+ with sole purpose to get this shit done. When i hit 900 ilvl i went back in.. And grinded and grinded and grinded. 80kk gold spent on consumables later, i managed to get it!

I can say that i loved the journey now that i look back, although i was so frustrated about it. Now it feels so rewarding and awesome like no guild first raid kill did before.

And to all u 910 ilvl+ ppl who facerolled this.. FUUUU For me it was hard af at 900 and all the RNG stars needed to allign. And they did on the 100+ something try!

heres the vid, i know you wont enjoy it as much as i did by watching this, but i just felt like posting somewhere, so here it is!




Some tips i figured out:

As i am only 900 ilvl, i decided to kill Raest, since i dont think i had the burst to kill Karam straight away.

I didn't try to hit Karam too hard during the fight, i mostly saved all CDs for Raest.

I used bear tartare food, to gain the speed boosts.

I made macros to target Raest, Karam and Hands. Every second counts, and targeting those things in the clusterfk of nameplates is hard.

I finished this on my lock at 892 ilvl, wasn't that bad. Of course I don't know how it is for other classes and I plan on trying it on alts in the future. They just don't have enough gear for it.

Grats on your challenge! I enjoyed watching your video.

100 tries ... that's like 2 880+ trinkets, which could've put you at the comfortable item level for the fight to be a joke. Cool video nonetheless, grats.
