Yeah. We've gotten CE every tier since HFC I think besides Tomb and AOTC first week every tier...besides Tomb again. I've been doing Mythic since the end of Antorus.
We got G'huun pretty late between people quitting, holidays and the fight being anti fun but most guilds I see also have like a month gap between Mythrax and G'huun.
We keep doing week 1 heroic with like 28 people just to prove we can and it makes it so much harder every single time. Jaina on Heroic was lasting 10 minutes 40 seconds on our closest kill and we got FOUR prismatic images. Its not good folks. These fights are also all REALLY long and mechanics heavy. We way overperform on DPS.
Gotcha. I can't keep everyone straight all the time. I need a raider.io addon for the thread :P
Tomb of Sargeras was a bitch of a tier. Did you guys clear to KJ but not get him? Or get stuck at Avatar? Otherwise I think any reasonably high-skilled guild would at least be able to clear through Mythic Maiden.
At my previous height, I was getting at least AotC by the second week or so if the instance was difficult, otherwise first week. And CE on some tiers or at least deep progression, usually to the last boss. I haven't been in a really serious environment since around Tomb after a group of about 1.5 years broke up around then. I switched to an Alliance guild for a couple months but didn't last too long for several reasons.
I'd like to do more stuff, but the time commitment can be difficult with what can be a slightly irregular schedule at times. And trying to ramp up participation can kinda backfire if returning to the game or whatever at bad times. I tried to get into serious Mythic back for Antorus after a fairly short break and it just didn't work out because I was in a sort of dead zone for recruitment. It was maybe 3-5 weeks or so after the raid had opened and my characters wouldn't have been usable for progression in guilds closer to my skill level, and if they had cut out heroic farm by that point from a limited schedule I was pretty fucked. Unless I wanted to guild hop.
My current apathy for playing the game myself isn't helping though, even if BoD is decent or even good as a raid. Because the group I've played with for a decent while here isn't really capable of higher-end progression.
mythic first boss is a joke. like taloc tier. last half heroic is harder.
That's usually how it is, but maybe the only the last 2 or 3 bosses are harder in heroic. Funnily enough Nythendra in Emerald Nightmare Mythic was actually not that easy. Skorpyron in Nighthold among others have been much easier. I'm sure I could compare further with a list of all the bosses in front of me. Other first bosses are more just annoying on the hardest difficulty than actually hard — Hellfire Assault and Immerseus come to mind.
