Raszageth Mythic World First Kill by Echo

Recommended Posts

And it's done! Raszageth has fallen on Mythic difficulty as Echo takes her down after a very tumultuous progress period, with several nerf rounds (including one at the very end). After a grueling 263 pulls they manage to pull it off and get through all three phases of the boss, despite it looking pretty impossible back in the phase 1 intermission.. and in the phase 2 intermission... and so on, before the holiday-motivated modifications by Blizzard. A third Race to World First win in a row for the guild, after the Sanctum of Domination and Sepulcher of the First ones wins.

After 3 massive nerfs waves, and the 4th just before the kill, each taking a major chunk out of some part of the fight or another, the boss fell over and Echo got their World First.

Here's the full kill try:

The official congrats:

And the raid composition:

It seems there was a last minute nerf involved as well, as Blizzard decided to significantly tune the boss one last time. This hasn't been 100% confirmed by Blizzard, but many experts watching the race think so, including Liquid's GM Max, and Echo's own Naowh:

And there's this datamining snippet as well:

From Raider.IO's coverage:

We have now heard from multiple sources, including Maximum from Liquid, that there have indeed been some hotfixes that reduced the difficulty of P3 and allows guilds to continue the fight quite a bit longer than in earlier attempts.

The specifics, as far as we can tell and were told, are as follows:
  • Slightly adjusted the timing of events at the start of Phase 3
  • Reduced the rate at which motes of Storm-Energy are spawned
  • Slowed the rate that the Raging Storm closes in

While no official bluepost confirms these changes yet, datamining hotfix files that were pushed somewhere around 20-30 minutes ago confirm these changes as well.

Comparing individual pulls from earlier in the day, and the kill, it seems fairly clear that these changes happened sometime prior to the RWF kill from Echo.

This doesn't tarnish their achievement whatsoever, as they have shown an incredible performance throughout the tier, pulling off unthinkable plays and getting the boss down to 8.34% in less than 250 pulls already.

The nerf did arrive while Liquid were still not back for their raid day, however, Echo were in the lead by a significant margin before it as well (not to mention the kill pull was extremely clean and a great one in general, regardless of the nerfs), having gotten the boss down to 8%, compared to Liquid's 14%.

You can also check out a more detailed look at the nerfs over on Raider.IO's progress coverage page.

So Liquid got screwed

IDK man I'm a Liquid fan but they just throw every tier on the last boss lol.

This is like the 4th time.

Can't take anything away from Echo. They get it done.

It's the fact that Blizzard waited for Liquid to log off, then nerfed the boss

This can easily be fixed for the future. Just announce a time each day that nerfs will go live (if any) and nerf on the same time each day, once per day. This way all guilds will know when to expect it and can plan around it. It will also add an element of suspense "should we push? or wait for the nerf timer!"

It will be fair that way.

      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.
