I was one of the first people to complete it on EU after refining strategy by watching/helping yipzarena out when he did it on stream. Big respect to him as i believe he was one of the first if not THE first on US/world to do it. Here are a few reasons why doing the challenge is possible without the ring.
1. Despite multiple people have been able to do it over the last few days, myself included, it seems that alot of people STILL are saying "its impossible without sacrolash".
2. Infernal/voidwalker tanking still works and makes p1 trivial. Even if it is "fixed", you can still kite for a very long time (about 90 seconds) with the correct cc usage. This puts the dps req at a minimum of around 470k.
3. Having amazing gear helps of course, but lower and lower item level people are starting to complete it without sacrolash. I think the lowest claimed item level kill so far was 900 and I was 904 without perfect play.
4. Its supposed to be hard! I felt a sense of accomplishment when i killed it, something not a whole lot of things these days do in wow.
5. People who are unable to do it with 900+ Ilvl refuse to realize that maybe they are doing something wrong and would rather blame legendaries because they are so used to being catered to with rewards for doing nothing.
Tl;dr Git Gud or Die Tryin'
Note: I have Sacrolash but chose not to use it because I found it more fun that way.
