KIN Raiders interview after Madness of Deathwing (Translated)

[Deleted]

Really intresting TY for post & GZ KIN RAIDERS

[Mankirks Daughter]

Q: How did you farm and prepare to clear DS?[/COLOR]
A: As many people know, US & EU had some troubles involving LFR. As for us, we brought 3 mains that did not overlap with each others' tier drops and 23 alts that have already done LFR, which facilitated the gearing of our mains. All in all, each member has gone through LFR about 26 times.

(Personal note: I think he meant to say 22 alts)

During the first week of the patch, in normal mode DS, we formed 6 teams - each consisting of 8-9 mains + alt fill-ins. We also had 1 team farming 10 man mode. When hard mode became available, we focused on gearing up the guild as a whole rather than prioritizing loot based on ranks. We formed 3 teams mixing mains and alts - and consistently farmed for progression. This has helped a lot in the latter half of DS.

Big grats to Kin. This answer is pretty interesting. I don't know how many top guilds do this, but to try and set it up so you can maximize your mains loots so there is little overlap in drops, is pretty interesting. Again, grats to Kin.

I am really dissapointed with the difficulty level of the last boss and the fact that it probably does not differ in mechanics from normal version. That made me mad coz I had hoped Blizz really tried their best.

Anyway, conrgrats. They seem to be a great players and they did not exploit LFR !

Great dedication, even though I was vouching for an EU first kill you seem like cool guys. Congratulations!

[UunaPriest]

Thank you for the translation.
Grats to them.

[Halle]

I like it, informative and not at all cocky.

Many guilds would do well to learn from their example.

KIN for the win!

[Magemaer]

I have a new favorite guild. Awesome work, nice philosophy, and asian. Couldn't be better.

[Ceria]

Great read, really nice interview. Making me like these guys even more.

[Phillytwo]

They really put effort into this tier of , just the fact that they dethroned all the eu guilds, despite them being banned.

Creds to KIN Raiders for surprising everyone.

I know that Ensidia is running 2-3 25 mans per reset (Firelands) and several 10 mans.

The Enhance and Hunters being benched because their pets couldn't attack the tendons is a pretty big deal in a hard out DPS check fight. Where was the hot fix for that?

Probably right behind that Disengage fix we've yet to see.

[Bluespirit]

I hope Blizzard are reading, as to why classes get benched.

True that madness is the final encounter and separate from spine, but consider that they ARE both Deathwing and technically they are both part of the final boss of the expansion

I'd love if people stopped this bullshit. It's not the same fight, therefore Madness is the last encounter of the expansion, and should be comparable to LK. It's not. Spine is the second to last encounter. Not part of the last.

[Icaras]

Why should blizzard care what 1 guild, on a fight that's not intended for the general population of the game, chooses to bench or not bench for their own strategy, which may not be the same used by the next few guilds to down heroic spine and madness?

[Warcrafter]

Didnt they only get world first cuz Asian servers gets 2 resets per week and US & EU only get 1 or am I wrong?

[Acquiesce of Telara]

Didnt they only get world first cuz Asian servers gets 2 resets per week and US & EU only get 1 or am I wrong?

The latter.

[Deleted]

You're wrong, that was only during firelands.

Tbh, they seem like pretty humble people. Good luck to them when MOP comes out.

[vizzle]

Q: Any shout outs to the fans?
A: Thank you for your supports. We want to be remembered as raiders that always enjoy raiding. Thank you.

My new favorite guild. Stay gold, Kin Raiders. Stay gold.

[Toxigen]

Great interview, world-class guild.

Props!

[haroharo]

You forgot to mention...

Q: What was it that gave you guys such motivation to push on toward WFK?
A: Raid leader's order not to play LOL(League of Legends of course.)

[Alusen]

Great to see this interview, they definitly seem pretty humble.
