World First - BoD - Offical Thread

[Makabreska]

I think that Method streaming plays a big part in that

Bigger part would be having the rest of the raid so much easier than Jaina.

GG NA and their 16 hour adventage, hope blizz fix it soon

They won't, blizzard really isn't that concerned with world first only portions of the community care.

I'm sure they have reasons for stagnating the launches and unless they were to legitimately sponsor these races in some way it wont change.

The reason Paragon will always be the best guild in my mind was their Lich King kill. They managed to kill it with the 5% buff before reset and a whole 2 weeks before any guild in the world did. Their kill was utterly impressive and still in my mind has never been touched. They also managed to snag a World First kill in WoD in the first tier by killing the last boss while everyone else was wiping the floor with Butcher. It's sad they stopped raiding, I think those guys were on same level if not better than Method.

Heroic Lich King 25 Kills
Mar 26, 2010 21:28 - Paragon kill - World First
Apr 11, 2010 18:06 - For The Horde was 2nd kill

And later when they got a bit more gear, kill LK with 0% buff just because they could.

Oh and if you are asking what the most likely intended way is, I'd say you enter P3 with boss over 70 energy, get 10-12 people frozen, soak the first orb, break the people out, kill the first image, get the other half the raid frozen (this will be harder since energy is lower now), soak the 2nd orb, break out the people frozen, kill 2nd image and then kill the boss. Unless the elemental is hotfixed, you can probably ignore it.

Whats the timing on the lance? Because it deals 425k to frozen people.

The practice of knowing the fight was probably more valuable. Even though they got to pull it on alts, it's not quite the same. Having 50 tries a week is just really limiting as to how much experimentation you can do. If there was no pullcounter, I firmly believe LK25H would have been possible with 0%.

It will make the timing really close, and positioning will be key. High burst aoe classes like WW would be great here. Looks to me like you have 8-10 seconds after freezing before the lance goes off. Ice blocks have 1.1m hp, so you need somewhere around 170k dps on each block to securely avoid the lance, which is doable with around the 7 dps (half of the dps) that you would have unfrozen.

limit bout to clear again pog

The reason isn't rocket science. Weekly maintenance (back when that was a thing) was Tuesday for the US and Wednesday for the EU and there has simply not been a reason, or the will, to change anything about it since.

[Draxia]

Holy crap 6.9% Method

[Heyimyoshyy]

2%

Method just wipes at 7%

[Pikay]

New best with something like 7.2%?!

[Cowlkin]

Limit should extend.

[Amaterasu65]

Holy fuck, 7% wipe, Method honestly deserves it at this point.

I think I heard Josh say it was 7 seconds, which is why they opted for this strategy. Breaking ~10 iceblocks AND having people move away in time was just not doable.

[Rozz]

Aaah, I'm so excited now! Method may clear this today if the stars align

[TyrianFC]

Sub 10 seconds from a kill (with everyone alive) if the fight ends at 5.5% (from ~6.9%)

[xpose]

Holy shit the mad lads might do it

[Minttunator]

Method with only a 6.9% wipe just now, maybe they can scare Limit into extending?

[Kylecat15]

Holy fuck, 7% wipe, Method honestly deserves it at this point.

To be fair we have no idea how close Limit has gotten, for all we know they have been around same threshold

[Vynestra]

Limit should extend.

That cost them in Uldir.

I think if they're getting it to 6.9% extend, but if not they need to re-clear asap and kill her.

I think they're simply going to run out of time before method kills it.

[Pikay]

If Limit extends, they gotta hurry up...
