Argus Normal 3-man Kill Video

Recommended Posts

L02TosS.jpg
 

The end of Legion is certainly nigh as we have a 3-man kill of the expansion's final raid boss! Rextroy, Durendil and Yenko were going for a full Antorus 3-man clear by expansion's end and they've done it (well, except for Varimathras) with the final boss going down a mere 0.5 seconds before the one-shot AoE wipe! You can check out the rest of their Antorus videos here and the Paladin and Hunter PoVs for Argus below. Congrats to them and good job on going for the weird achievements in the game!

This was honestly the most epic fight I have had in awhile, with a lot of intense moments!

Now the Antorus Trio journey has come to an end, it has been great fun!... Thank you everyone who followed us through this adventure!

Anyhow... On to the tactics:

For argus, the DPS requirements is really intense. Thats why we had to... Improvise a bit.

The first part you see is when we are stacking up the Gift of the Titan buff for Durendil (2k haste and versa each stack). The way we do this is to fight Argus and stack the buff as high as possible. I went with my 80% SOTR build to be able to survive. Then I die right when Durendil is able to refresh his stack and he Feign Death.

We are then able to combat Argus again and keep stacking the buff before it falls off. I assume the buff goes all the way to 99 stacks. But we attempted the boss with 55.

As you can see, the results are quite amazing. 17M DPS for Durendil, making it an easy ride into phase 3.

Phase 3:

For this phase, we used heroism in the beginning. I tanked both the adds. With Drums, I could keep my SOTR uptime at a 100%. This helped my survival a lot, since I would take 80% less damage. I also kept my eyes on most NPCs to be ready to interrupt when needed.

After the big adds died, we just killed the remaining adds and moved onto the final phase.

Phase 4:

We had a little more than 6 minutes remaining until berserk when we started the last phase. For this phase the most important job for the DPS were to keep the reorigination modules under control... and I had to do my best to endure the lash of the...Sweeping Scythes! I used the old Consecration trick*, to get my SOTR to 96% for the harder hitting Scythes. I did however die at the end, but I am happy I were able to survive as many as I did.

At the end when we noticed berserk were soon, we decided to stop killing the Modules and burst the boss. The DPS would use the tree to ress instantly when they died. While I had to survive to ensure we wouldn't wipe. This appeared to be a... close call (I should probably have used my Spellwarding here but... Still worked out!)

The ending was the most insane boss kill I have had. About 0.5 seconds remaining until the AOE went off that would have killed us all.... Calculated!

(Yes I do realise I could have used Divine Shield and taunted the boss right before I died, but lets not go through details of what I could have done better alright!?)

They've also written a guide to their 3-man adventure over on Wowhead, so if you want to try this out yourself or are just curious for more details, check it out.

HES A CLICKER AAAAAAAAHHHH

To be fair, I was a clicker too. Macro's are a pain in the butt to get used too, thankfully my Corsair Scimitar gets rid of all the clicking and I am able to shift through multiple abilities with a click of a button!

I've had to spellbook cast and even type cast after a crash fighting Argus. Whatever it is, but the p4 transition will kick me if at any time i look at the titans.

I can't believe he really click to spells..

I blame FPSers.  That's why I still click - I trained myself to click fast and precise.  Macros frighten and confuse me (hahaha).  And I'm a "Celestial Defender / Vengeance Incarnate" player.

Not having my fingers on Q and E just seems wrong.  Gotta be able to strafe hard and strafe fast!  Most fights I'm just strafing side to side the whole time, in preparation for actually needing to move (helps me stay frosty).  Lol

Same here. Not really much of an FPS'er but Macro's just seem way too much work and tons of time to master.

Depends on one another. Personnaly I strafe with a and d, and 1234qerfg + mouse mid / side1 side2. (double as i have all the same + shift)

Mouse vs keyboard is not a matter of macro TBH. Took me like 2 days to get used to it, I could never go back :-).

      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.

      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.

      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 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.
