The Tier 19 Mythic Progress Race Is Here, Complete with Coverage

Tier 19 is finally here and the US guilds are just about ready to head on into the Nightmare (both figuratively and literally, with the hour investment required)

 

Update, Day 2 again:
Well the fastness of the race continues and we already have our top 3. The guilds comprising it were very much expected, but their order certainly was not (except by me, I totally called it!). Method and Serenity take up the 2nd and 3rd spots and all three guilds took under 2 hours to kill Xavius after downing Cenarius. The Asian scene also flared to life as they finally got their reset, with several guilds climbing to 4/7, lead by Alpha who are currently the only ones there to have downed Il'Gynoth.

Now it's a race for the top 5 as From Scratch are in a massive lead as they're the only guild on 6/7 with only the very short lived Xavius left.

Update, still day 2:
Well that was fast. Too fast. Exorsus simply continued on and downed Xavius without too many problems claiming the World First and finishing off the raid in 18 hours from start to finish. They've said Xavius was easier than Cenarius and even he didn't take that long to kill, so all in all a slight blemish for the Blizz balance team. But we have two raids coming up very quickly so it'll surely be fixed there. Congratulations to Exorsus in any case, they were just doing what the top guilds always do, killing bosses as fast as possible!

Update, Day 2:
As expected the other EU guilds soon caught up with Exorsus, first it was From Scratch then Method and Serenity, but the Russians were determined to keep their lead so the just now got another World First, this time on Cenarius leaving them only one boss left in the Emerald Nightmare!

Update, Day 2:
The EU guilds have entered the race and it was very hectic for a while there after they cleared split Heroics, with Exorsus and From Scratch trading off EU firsts on the first few bosses. Method and Serenity were downing things very close to each other as well, and eventually the EU guilds fully caught up with the us on 4/7, with the rankings being Midwinter, Limit, SNF, Easy, Strawberry Puppy Kisses in the lead in the US and then came the EU guilds.

That all changed an hour ago when it was Exorsus that got the World First on Il'gynoth and is now the sole guild on 5/7! It seems the consistency the guild had really paid off as they were the least affected by the various splits and quittings of the inter-progress phase. It's been over an hour now that they've been in the lead so now we'll see how long it takes for the other to catch up and if this advantage will pay off in the end, since Xavius is really all that matters.

As usual, if you want to get more in-depth coverage, killshots and rankings head on over to Method.gg.
 

Update:
We now have three guilds with 4/7 bosses down with Midwinter leading the charge and, well, staying where they were in the last update. But! Limit and SNF have caught up trading World second kills on Dragons of Nightmare and Ursoc, respectively.

There are now 12 guilds that downed at least one boss in the Emerald Nightmare Mythic, only one on 3/7 and two on 2/7.

Update:
Well things are progressing at a fast pace as we're already at four dead bosses. While Easy took the early lead, Midwinter soon caught up and then raced past as they took the next two World Firsts, on Ursoc and Dragons of Nightmare. We have a new face at the top as well as SNF got two World thirds and a World second on Ursoc as well, while Limit joined the race and are on SNF's heels after they did a round of heroic split raids.

The EU servers will be opening in the morning and that's when all hell will break loose, with many more guilds entering the arena.

Update:
So it's been a couple of hours since the raid opened and it seems two US guilds are going at it at a pretty solid pace. Easy has taken two World Firsts so far and were ahead for quite a while, but Midwinter has caught up as they both took down Nythendera and Elerethe Renferal. No videos as of yet, but we do have the killshots (and the image at the bottom is constantly up to date as well.

____________________________________________________________

Tier 19 is finally here and the US guilds are just about ready to head on into the Nightmare (both figuratively and literally, with the hour investment required) in around an hour, with the Eu and Asian guilds joining in 1 and 2 days, respectively. The usual progress coverage from Manaflask has shifted to Method, who've made a pretty impressive new page for the race coverage with plenty of bells and whistles so if you want to keep up to date on all the World First happenings head on over there and we'll also keep you updated here on the major goings on. If you're new to the race or haven't followed it since the last one, you can check out this article to get up to date (shameless self-promotion etc).

One of the cooler features for this progress, however, is this interactive image that will be updated with rankings and World First videos and can be embed into any site, like this one.

So good luck to all the guilds competing and let's hope for a not too short progress race!

      By Starym
      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Weekly Awakened Cache Drops Item Level 250 Gear for Some
      By Stan
      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      War Within Pre-Patch Mythic+ DPS, Tank and Healer Log Rankings: Week 2
      By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix Characters Will Transfer with a Gear Boost
      By Stan
      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
