wow Sire Denathrius Heroic Lives Past Day 2, Resisting Even Complexity Limit!

[Starym 3,800]

 

Sire Denathrius is proving to be quite the endboss, even on Heroic difficulty! While Heroic bosses usually last some 8-10 hours (with a few exceptions, like Azshara who died on day 2), Denathrius is sticking in there, as him and the entirety of Heroic Castle Nathria are pretty difficult! Also it's usually a slightly more casual guild that takes down the Heroic endboss kill, but this time around they can't even get to him, causing Blizzard to already nerf some encounters in the raid (but not Denathrius himself).

Enter the current Mythic Race to World First Champions Complexity Limit, who have been gearing up for the real race next week, but in the course of their regular process decided to go for the Sire for his loot as well. This resulted in many hours of raiding and attempts on the Revendreth boss, but he didn't go down! Partially this was due to one particularly annoying bug, however:

But in the end Limit called it a night and managed to get the boss down to exactly 13% on their best attempt:

And so Denathrius lives to see another day! It's very likely he will die today, however, as many more guilds will get to him.

I usually pug the normal difficulty of the new raids on the launch and clear hc later (im not a mythic raider). Also i want to say i had less time for CN, since we are doing naxx on classic too. having said that, i just managed to do 4/10 on the launch ! normal flet like a light hc and it was the first raid in a long time that its normal difficulty doesn't feel like a push over. i havent tried hc, but given it has lasted more than some mythics ( looking at u EN) i say yeah its up there too. I just wished the rewards woul match the difficulty too.

I'm baffled by the fact that we can kill Sire Denathrius so quickly and with such ease. He is a powerhouse, which made an ENTIRE zone in the shadowlands by himself. The players are too powerful and makes any challange dull at this point. "World ending treath again? Ok one moment, just got to enchant my boots so I can kick it in the nuts and be done with it".

Not sure it should be counted as "Surviving ___ days!" when there's a DC bug.    That's just sad.
