Always great to come back to threads like this to shove some facts in people's faces. Salad bakers are going again this Wednesday with half the ranged dps. Inc 20 mins
Should stream how long they take to get all their buffs and make sure to add that to their time
Onslaught with the 30min run after losing 3-4 mins on Geddon because their dps are stupid as FUCK.
I didn’t look at it real carefully but I got the impression they were gonna kill him before anyone died.
Raid bosses will always be very similar so long as encounter design requires DPS to always be pumping 100%.
My bet is something around 15-20 minutes, if 30 is achievable then 20 is undoubtedly achievable.
I don't know if we're allowed to stream it but if anyone is streaming then our GM will for sure https://www.twitch.tv/laty1337
If you're going to say stupid shit like this at least look up how long regular raids without world buff/special buff stacking actually take. A normal run takes us anywhere between 35-45 mins. We also have 2 raid teams doing this every week.
Meanwhile you take 28 mins deciding which warlock is going to banish which Garr add while we aoe down all at the same time

We were doing MC in under an hour back in 2006 and we were fucking noobs. I have videos from that time which I will never show anyone out of embarrassment.
I gave a pretty good, conservative estimation on page 1, before classic was even out in where I laid out that I figured 30 minutes was a good time, but looking at Salad Bakers current performance and give them another 6 (12 splits) weeks of beta testing their runs + split gear, I think they can get it down to 25-20 minutes by just gear osmosis and general performance improvements.
Either way, if not Salad Bakers, then Onslaught, Apes, Progress.
But hey, if you think 30 minutes is the peak when there's 6 weeks left, you're not even on the level to have this discussion to begin with.

Getting under 20 minutes before BWL would be mighty challenging.
It’s be taking one of the fastest clears to date and cutting more than 25% off the time.
And better gear will help, but that 200 AP from DM ain’t gonna change.

I'm sure you didnt use people from each "separate" run for your speed run, and they certainly didn't happen to be the better geared players from each "different" group. LOL. Listen what you guys did is cool and grats on some random arbitrary achievement you can only get by making sure you attune someone to ony every week, but stop trying to act like you don't waste way more time setting up for your clears than random pugs who clear it in 1.5-2hrs.
What is the fastest theoretical time you can walk through MC if there was nothing alive, without help from movespeed or blink or anything else?
Add the fastest boss kill times, and there you have it, the world record time.
Swiftness pots, nifty stopwatch, cheetah, separate kill groups, skull of impending doom, optimized comp, a well regimented route and so forth all add up.
I don't think 20 minutes is gonna be easy, but 25 minutes is honestly not a stretch, at all.
