wow Eonar Normal Defeated by 2 Players

[Starym 3,800]

 

It seems all it takes to finish Antorus' fifth boss is one Prot Paladin and one Affliction Warlock! While most of the fights, aside from Argus were slightly too easy in Mythic for the top guilds, it seems Normal mode is pretty easy for everyone else as well, as demonstrated by Demo (963 ilev) and Darmonevil (959 ilev).

First I want to say good job.

Second I want to say, and this is why Blizzard has trouble balancing the game.

 

I forget the DH tank's name that solo'd all those Mythics and Mythic +'s, and while that is an extraordinary feat, as is this with just a prot pally and Aff lock, it goes to show that when Blizzard tries to make things a bit easier people will take advantage of it.  This in turn makes it look like Blizzard has no clue what they are doing.

I'm not trying to take anything away from anyone that has solo'd current content (or duo'd)  I just want people to understand that the more this type of thing is done the harder it is for Blizzard to balance the game.

That would be Mione, who has been solo-ing stuff since Mists of Pandaria (or longer ago), on a DK and now DH.

Thanks, I thought it was that I just didn't remember how to spell it and didn't want to mess it up.  and Mione is a bit of an exception, all of the content that Mione has soloed this expansion has been a bit over-geared for it, not to the point it's just stupid easy but not soloing at current content ilvl.  And I guess that's the thing with the duo Eonar kill is that they were both over-geared for it.  And like I said i'm not trying to take anything away from anyone that is willing to attempt and achieve a feat such as these, more power to them for trying, it's more that most of the subscriber base is willing to do.  I just feel like Blizzard kind of takes a stance (could be completely wrong about this) that when people solo things like this they feel it's too easy and want to make it more difficult which in turn makes it harder for those that are trying to progress on it.  I hope that's not the case though.

No offense, but calling Mione overgeared isn't quite right: https://blizzardwatch.com/2017/07/25/mione-solos-court-stars-19/
I at least wouldn't say that anyone is really overgearing votw +17 or cots +19 currently.

But I do agree of it being not easy to balance the boss fights right and there's most of the time someone coming out on the short end, but that's why there are currently 4 raid difficulties to make it at least easier to balance out, which still needs the proper tuning for sure, but there also have been many difficulty specific fixes in the past, which wouldn't be possible otherwise and does show, at least I think so, that the difficulties are mostly tunned to those they are intended for (e.g. normal not for mythic raiders, but those doing normal "progress").

There's no way I would call Mione overgeared for a +19 or +17, or hell even a +15 solo.  But at the time that she soloed the +3 VotW her ilvl was 893 equipped which  at that time was overgeared for it.  

 Does that take anything away from her skill? Not at all because she has done what most people would run for the hills after contemplating.  I know that I couldn't do what she's done.  I don't have the patience to push myself that far.

 

I do agree that raids are tuned for "progressive" tiers of guilds.  Normal guilds will never progress to mythic because that's not where they want to be or they are not willing to push themselves that far.  Even some Heroic guilds are the same.  

 

I just hope that Blizzard can find a good balance between the mythic raiders that solo normal content and the normal raiders that struggle with heroic bosses.
