    If the last boss can get killed before the first reset, then yes, being able to watch strats and being able in some cases to get to a boss that has been hotfixed can definitely be an important advantage for EU that is then able to get to the last boss quicker and spend more time on in before the reset. If the boss can be killed without an higher ilvl, then the ball is clearly on EU's side at that time. Jaina was the perfect example of that.

    On the other end, when a last boss with very poor tuning cannot be killed before the reset but only requires split runs to kill after the reset, then the (second) headstart is an insane advantage that almost simply gives the victory to the side who resets first, US in that case. Denathrius was the perfect example of this. G'huun would have very likely been the same without Limit's mistake.

    What I hope for this tier is that Blizzard will have tuned Silvanas better than Denathrius or other previous poorly tuned bosses so that she doesn't go down right before or after the reset, and we don't see another tier where the headstart ends up being the decisive factor.

    With Denathrius, Limit killed it more than 16 hours before Echo did, AND Echo spent more than 5 hours longer on their reclear than Limit did.

    That's honestly hard to say. Echo was really close to their kill before the reset too, and you could see that the general level of atmosphere plummeted when they lost, so they hardly played their best. The 16 hour window actually means nothing at all except to forum warriors. It's fucked one way or another.

    If the fifth boss is tuned that high, I can't even imagine the sheer amount of hurt the appropriately named Painsmith will bring, especially if datamining is true and he spawns spiked balls during the intermission on top of everything else on Mythic.

    Its certainly looking to be one of the hardest tuned raids in a while.

    It's not actually that hard to say because "almost" doesn't win a race.

    BUT: in order to do that well I believe you need an Ulduar-esque system of in-encounter switches so that mythic can still clear: later you would still enter in mythic and then it could become EVEN HARDER if you kill a boss a different way (with extra rewards).
    This just seems like Crucible of Storms with extra steps tbh.

    They just hit enrage so that's for 6 healing it.

  11. #351
    Damn, enrage on 20%. Yeah, they have 6 healers and probably overkilled adds but still, they were millions and millions of damage behind. Dropping one healer won't fix it.

    Imagine if they had to cease raid to focus on splits and M+ day fucking 1, wow.

    With them going to normal it kinda feels like they are already glancing at Blizzard if they will hotfix the fight.

    This is going to be one spicy race if the fifth boss hits enrage at 20% and forces the reigning champions to go back with their tails between their legs to clear normal. And that's before the sure-to-be-hellacious Painsmith and the inevitable 15 minute bugfest of Sylvanas.

    If Blizzard hotfixes Soulrender right at the end of Limit's raid day that really destroys the NA advantage.
