With Instant Dollars securing World 4th earlier today, lets look again at where the other guilds are at in their Fyrakk progress:

  • 火锅英雄 - 4% with 731 Pulls in total
  • Skyline - 27% with 436 Pulls in total
  • FatSharkYes - 28.5% with 226 Pulls in total
  • Mate - 60.2% with 246 Pulls in total
  • BDG - 61% with 110 Pulls in total
  • 佶天鸿 - 61.7% with 233 Pulls in total
  • End Myth - 62.8% with 152 Pulls in total
  • Banhammer - 62.8% with 144 Pulls in total
  • Honestly - 67% with 97 Pulls in total
  • LAGET - 68.3% with 23 Pulls in total

火锅英雄 and Skyline are actively working on the boss at the time of posting this, so we may see another Fyrakk kill (or two) today!

FatSharkYes are also in the low digits for their best percentage, but with lower pull counts, so they could be in the running for defeating Fyrakk with the least pulls if they do it within the next 68 attempts.

Today has been another day of progress for guilds working on Fyrakk and Tindral Sageswift.

  • Method have started raiding today (about an hour ago), so far they are 4 pulls into Fyrakk, with the best and latest pull (387) being at 8.4%, building up some much needed Phase 3 experience and getting them much closer to the kill.
  • Skyline are incredibly close to defeating Tindral Sageswift, with their new best of 1.77%.
  • Mate has a new best attempt on Tindral Sageswift of 9.14% on Pull 460

The top 2 spots are already taken, but the top guilds in the world have not finished their business with Fyrakk (or Tindral) yet!

Currently we have only 3 other guilds in the entire world progressing on Mythic Fyrakk, them being Method, with a current best percentage of 15.3% after 382 pulls, Instant Dollars with 41 attempts, and a best percentage of 68.7% and 火锅英雄 with 157 pulls and a best percentage of 64.2%!

This boss is specially tricky to judge by pull count, since only consistent practice on Phase 3 can lead to a kill, as any mistake with seeds in that phase is an instant wipe. ID has a long way to go, since getting used to P2 requires time, with the top 3 guilds all hovering around 130 pulls to reach P3 for the first time, plus almost a 100 to cleanly get out of P1 consistently.

As for the other guilds currently pushing for that top 10 we have:

FatSharkYes progressing Mythic Tindral, with 409 pulls and 8.72% as their best percentage so far.

BDG also dealing with the Seer of the Flame, with 695 and a best percentage of 9.44%.

skyline who have pulled Mythic Tindral 916 times so far, with a best percentage of 14.4%.

Mate the top Korean guild, having pulled Mythic Tindral Sageswift 413 times, with a best percentage of 21%.

And closing out the current top 10, Conspiracy, facing Mythic Tindral as well, who have claimed victory over the EU squad 395 times so far, leaving them with a best percentage of 28%.

Back to back! 17% wipe for Echo, 16% wipe for Liquid!

The boss is really low to be honest, I don't think they will have problems with the enrage timer, they just need to be comfortable with the seeds, and that can only be practice by doing it. The nerve-wracking thing for us viewers is that, any pull right now can be that one pull where everything went right, to either guild!

After another exchange of sub 20% pulls between Echo and Liquid we kind of hit a wall in terms of progression!

Phase 3 between the 2nd and 3rd seed has been especially unforgiving, with 4 Corrupted Seeds and 2 normal Seeds out, we have 6 raiders permanently having to dodge absolutely everything in this hectic phase, so no wonder they need to practice that section a little bit more

The first and second Seed use into P3 seems to be pretty consistent between Echo and Liquid, with Method very close behind focusing on getting that consistency in the first 2 casts of the Roar.

The volatile nature of this last phase though, makes it that at any point, with a good pull, you can get all the way down 3 or even the 4th cast. At that point, it will come down to individual play and being comfortable on dealing with so many seeds at the same time to reach a personal best % or go straight for the kill.

With this sub 2% pull from Echo I think its safe to assume all the theories about a secret phase, with or without the "portal" in the back of the room, have to be put to rest.

Reaching all the way down 1% is incredibly difficult, since there are so many wipe conditions at that point that its almost a game of chance if one of the seeds will get randomly hit by a line, or a misplaced tornado.

Lets wait now and see if Echo manages to get back to P3 back to back, with that almost kill buff or Liquid or Method will respond that best percentage from them.

Method have an almost back-to-back new best on Fyrakk Mythic. Dropping their best attempt from 42.2 to 34.1%, notably showing that the team are starting to make it into Phase 3 more consistently. Once getting into Phase 3 becomes even more frequent, some real progress on handling the seeds in that phase can commence! Once that happens, expect to see that best % start to drop further.

It appears that Echo members are starting to awaken, wanting to push past that final few percent on Fyrakk.

Once they are online, it won't be long until they are in the raid, focused on making the time before Liquid are awake again count as much as possible. Any pull could be the kill for Echo, so keep your eyes open for when their streams go live!

Another sub 20% pull for Liquid! They are pushing really hard, using Bloodlust and combat potions right as they use the first seed, and the boss is dropping incredibly fast from the 48-ish percent he is going to P3 to closer to 20%.

What a head-to-head! Liquid and Echo are pushing literally at the same time right now! Echo has for sure a massive lead, since they have pulled the boss to P3 a couple of times and pushed to sub 20% while Liquid did managed to get to P3 a few times, but haven't matched their own personal best from yesterday!

Its for sure a crazy situation since its almost 1am for Echo, and if they failed to kill it tonight, they will be in quite a disadvantage for tomorrow in terms of sleep, while Liquid still have the entire day to push that last 25% pretty much.

Liquid is back at Amidrassil's last challenge! After going dark early last night, the NA squad turned back on Competition Mode, so we could see their progress and are now full streaming again!

Lets see what they have been cooking as soon as they reach Phase 3 again!

They have 287 pulls so far, getting back to P3 only 2 times since that 27% pull and none today so far, so they are probably warming up and getting back into the fight's rhythm

The number of wipes to the second wave of Colossi (is that the plural of Colossus?) has been crazy so far! Yesterday, after the HP nerfs on those mobs, Liquid managed to get through and see the 3rd Phase, but even with a whopping 12% less health, those adds are claiming pull after pull.

Each one have more than 80 Million HP, so that sums up to almost 400 Million HP that the raiders have to deplete in order to phase the boss safely! If you were wondering why Fyrakk is phasing to P3 with such high HP pool, its because of those adds, and the fact you have to focus them down really quickly before either of them reach 100 energy and wipe the raid instantly.

Echo still going strong today, probably pushing a few extra hours in the schedule, having pulled the boss 221 times and reached a best percentage of 19.2%, meanwhile Liquid is almost at 300 pulls, having a personal best of 27.7% after 287 attempts and Method is close behind them, having reached a personal best of 58% after 193 pulls so far!

The Fyrakk action is intense today! Especially after a sub 20% pull from Echo. But lets not forget that we have pretty much the rest of the current top 20 still on Mythic Tindral and his deadly seeds.

FatSharkYes just got a little closer to that World 4th kill, lowering their best percentage to 50.4% after 257 pulls!

Fun fact, there is still to be another European guild that breaks the sub 50% mark! The only guilds that managed to do it so far were skyline from Asia and Instant Dollars and BDG from the North American region.

Guilds continue to pull Fyrakk, but without any new bests recently, but building muscle memory within the fight.

火锅英雄 and Skyline have both made leaps forward, getting much closer to defeating Tindral Sageswift. 火锅英雄 have a new best of 6.3%, with multiple low attempts in quick succession, and Skyline has a very recent best of 27.5%.

Instant Dollars decided to run a few more split runs for Heroic gear as well as character maintenance for their alts before returning to Amirdrassil to face the Seer of the Flame. They have pulled Tindral 299 times so far, with an amazing 28.5% as their best percentage.

BDG also called it a little bit earlier today, having pulled Mythic Tindral 437 pulls, having reached a best percentage of 36.4%!

Echo just went to sleep and Liquid pushed through the massive wall they were stuck yesterday and finally gave us a proper look at Phase 3 Fyrakk!

They have a lot to discuss, since the new P3 mechanic called Corrupted Seeds will for sure give them a headache. If you haven't seen this fight yet, during the last phase of the encounter on all difficulties you have a few seeds in the ground that you have to pickup since its the only way to survive the Apocalypse Roar that he will cast at least 4 times in this phase. The hard part is, very much like Mythic Halondrus' bombs back in Sepulcher, if you get hit by any mechanic while holding one of the seeds you pretty much wipe the raid but even if you survive, you have 1 fewer cast of Apocalypse Roar to kill the boss, since you don't have the massive absorb shield from the Seed on-use effect anymore.

The Mythic only version of these seeds is that, after you use one to survive Apocalypse Roar the seed drops a massive puddle, similar to the Phase 1 puddles, so you have to have proper raid positioning so you don't just drop them in the middle of the arena. On top of the zone denial element, each seed (which are 4 on Mythic) after used, transforms into 2 Corrupted Seeds, that also cannot get hit by any mechanic otherwise its a wipe, but don't have any other beneficial effect like the normal ones.

With news coming in of a 12% nerf on the Colossus adds on P2 of Fyrakk, Method are just about to finish their dinner break and start pulling again. With them getting more and more pulls into the P2 stage, we'll see what they can do with the hotfix now live.

Echo and Liquid have already started pulling Fyrakk, so I have a sneaky suspicion we'll see some new best pulls from them soon as well.

There has been some slight movement forward for most guilds.

Echo are cleaning up their progress in Phase 2 of Fyrakk and Method are working on getting through the first intermission, which they are now very consistently reaching.

Skyline, 火锅英雄, Honestly and End Myth continue to achieve new best attempts on Tindral Sageswift. With 火锅英雄 pulling into the lead, with a slightly lower best attempt of 40.72% compared to Skyline's 40.82%. Until NA guilds (BDG and Instant Dolllars) return to raiding, its looking like a battle between 火锅英雄 and Skyline for who can get Tindral down first!

Lets use this moment of practice for Liquid as they focus on getting consistent pulls on Phase 2, to take a look at raid compositions so far for Mythic Fyrakk!

Liquid have tested a few different setups, usually either around the melee comp setup like changing from double Assassination Rogues to 1 Assassination and 1 Subtlety, and now have settle for 2 Subtlety. They also tried a Frost Death Knight, an Arms Warrior (instead of the Fury) and also tried only 1 Havoc DH, but ended up settling for the double Havoc DH and double Enhancement they have been running on other fights.

For the Ranged composition, they tried 3 Beast Mastery Hunters but quickly came back to the default setup of 2 Augmentation Evokers and 2 Beast Mastery Hunters, together with the mandatory buff on the Mage as an Arcane, and the Demonology Warlock.

Echo tried similar things to Liquid, but went as far as running 3 Rogues, being 2 Assassination Rogues and 1 Subtlety Rogue. The major difference really was swapping out the Protection Paladin for a Vengeance Demon Hunter, to help in crowd controlling the adds during P2, but so far, have decided to go back to the Prot Paladin, but I'm curious if they will bring back the Vengeance tomorrow.

Method was the only one to already started dropping one of the Fury Warriors back in Mythic Tindral's prog and haven't come back at all. The 3 Rogues are quite flexible, but currently they are running 2 Subtlety Rogues and 1 Assassination Rogue, presumably for the massive AoE burst Sub can do on the P2 adds, and compensating the single target with the powerful Assassination single target DPS.

Its crazy to thing that the closest guild right now to that World 4th Mythic Tindral kill have 460 pulls, and 49.1% as their best percentage. skyline, the guild in question, is raiding crazy hours as well, and we have to remember that, due to the overlaps of seeds + roots from the boss, these percentages don't really tell the whole story, because as soon as they clear one overlap, they will shave off easily 3 to 4% of the boss HP before the next overlap.

BDG is not that far behind though, having 272 pulls, and a best percentage of 56.3% on the second to last boss on Amirdrassil.

After a long day yesterday, and waking up a little bit later today to recover the sleep, Echo decided to call it a day!

They pulled out an impressive performance matching the P1 progression from Liquid, but they need to play the long game and recover their sleep schedule.

They managed to pull the boss 82 times so far, and they even tested swapping the Protection Paladin for a Vengeance Demon Hunter / Blood Death Knight setup to help group up the Screaming Soul adds, but then came back for the Blood Death Knight / Protection Paladin setup for the last hour or so.

I wonder if they will farm more gear for that Vengeance DH and then come back to it tomorrow, since the change dropped their average item level from 480.3 to 478.9, which indicates that they weren't considering that change during Heroic splits, since Havoc was so dominant as a melee DPS option.

An interesting optimization that Liquid just showed consisted of using the Augmentation Evoker's (or any Evoker) Rescue ability to bring the Mythic only healer add closer to the other 5 healer adds during p2 so they can be more efficiently healed by the Holy Paladin.

The Augmentation was also buffing with both Prescience and Ebon Might the Holy Paladin and the Mistweaver Monk, so those adds were topped up super fast.

The NA day came to a close much earlier! With most day raiding guilds having already stopped in the past hour or so, and the night raiding guilds also finishing off their nights, the only big development we had tonight was the average item level bump the top guilds were able to acquire after the reset with reclears and more Heroic splits.

Instant Dollars is currently with 478.1 average item level in their comp for the Mythic Tindral prog.

BDG, fighting the same boss, is currently with 478.3 average item level.

xD have cleared the Smolderon hell yesterday, and are now starting progression on Tindral with an average item level of 477.4

Imperative is very close to the Smolderon kill, averaging 476.9 item level across their raid.

For comparison, Liquid is currently with 479.6 as per their last pull on Fyrakk earlier today, Echo was at 479.6 on their World 2nd kill on Tindral and the Orange Squad is rocking 479.4 item level on their last attempts at the Seer of the Flame World 3rd kill.

Meanwhile, Echo has been on a good streak of pulls reaching the last overlap of Phase 2! The problem with this *Mythic Tindral encounter is that you have very little room for error on every seed spawn or overlap!

The Mythic twist for the Fyrakk zone denial is that, there is 3 soaks that will target random players, after you soak them, they will also leave the puddle in the ground, so you need to proper positioning in order to not hit the roots.

Liquid came up with a very cool strategy to align the last soaks in the middle of the roots in a straight line, so they can have the extra seconds required to phase the boss, as you can see in the clip below.

Its unlikely that once they get used to the damage intake, and movement requirements for Phase 1 they still need that extra space, since they can optimize a lot of damage in p1 still, but having the last resort strategy is important so they can reach the intermission more consistently, even if something went wrong in that pull.

Liquid was trying out quite a few different strategies for positioning the zone denial from Fyrakk.

This fight has a DPS check to reach the 70% mark, since the boss constantly marks random players with circles that will deny more and more of the room, as you can see in the clip below.

The importance of proper positioning this zone denial also comes from the roots mechanic in the very back, since you cannot hit any of the 4 little roots back there with these circles, nor the orbs that they throw around, resulting in an instant wipe if you fail that.

This will for sure get them a massive advantage since we saw that those last 30% of Tindral are not at all free, even with way more gear from the reset Great Vault and reclear, so Echo and Method will have some serious catch up to do today.

This kill is actually one of the most important for them, since the staff from this boss is a best in slot for most casters because of the higher item level from being a Very Rare item, so this staff alone can make them consider bring one more Mage or Warlock for Mythic Tindral's progression.

Liquid's decision to run the double Assassination Rogue actually showed its strength as they consistently approach the sub 30% pulls!

Assassination currently have access to one of the best Execute-like effects in the game, so as soon as they break the shield and use the 2 minute cooldown Deathmark, they melt the boss HP, being one of the factors for them to have jumped from 27% to 24% as their best percentage. It will be interesting to see if other guilds adapt to this strategy tomorrow.

Speaking of raid compositions, although Echo, Method and Instant Dollars are probably trying out Subtlety Rogues for progression / learning the phases, this double Assassination Rogues comp for Liquid will pay dividends when they consistently reach sub 30% pulls.

Usually we think of Execute range for Warriors (its literally their ability), but currently Assassination Rogues have arguably one of the strongest Execute effects in the game, so keep an eye out for how much HP they can burn on the first usage of 2 minute cooldowns in that phase.

Liquid currently have 349 pulls so far, and have reached as far as 30.4% on the boss HP bar.

An interesting development after yesterday pulls in terms of compositions were the Rogues changing specs!

Liquid kept the original setup of triple Beast Mastery Hunter and 2 Assassination Rogues, which is pretty interesting since Assassination can provide so much single target damage in their current iteration. Meanwhile, with FatSharkYes providing us with a little bit more data, most other guilds are changing their Rogues to play Subtlety! I wonder if they are swapping because of specific timings or just the raw value of having their damage profile, with huge bursts of AoE damage when they need on the adds, as well as a crazy funnel value, being able to generate a lot of extra combo points by hitting the adds with Shuriken Storm and single targeting the boss with Eviscerate.

Method took this approach to the extreme, having swapped one of the Enhancements (that were one of the flexible spots from what we have seen yesterday) for another Rogue, and are now running 2 Subtlety Rogues and 1 Assassination. The Orange Squad also tried a couple of pulls with a Survival Hunter instead of the Beast Mastery, and I wonder if they liked the results, since Survival can dish out a significant amount of damage on the adds while cleaving off the boss with the Wildfire Bombs, so they also have a lot of value for this fight's damage profile requirements.

Echo went to sleep with 241 pulls so far on Mythic Tindral with a best percentage of 38.6%, while the Orange Squad is sitting at 188 pulls, and a best percentage of 57.6%!

Keep in mind that the percentage itself is kind of irrelevant, since the important part is that both EU guilds are progressing the 2nd phase of the encounter.

For the Orange Squad its the same matter its been the whole progression. Consistent first Phase, so you can learn and progress the second one.

This boss is extremely tight both in terms of positioning and healing/damage, so being consistent between pulls helps you get used to the very high damage spikes, and with that progress further into the encounter.

Method managed to see Phase 2 for the first time last pull, and they just got back there, on back-to-back pulls, which is very impressive based on what we have seen so far!

And it looks like that consistency will be the name of the game for this crazy tight Phase 1!

Even though Echo managed to get some better pulls so far, the majority of the time both Method and Echo are focusing on getting consistent movement and boss positioning as well as getting used to the crazy high damage spikes of the first phase.

As soon as you get a good P1, you get the chance to try and progress a little bit on the second phase, as the shields didn't seem to hold any challenge for any guild so far, with some having cleared the mini DPS race with as few as 16 players alive.

The progression on Phase 2 is also brutal, since the first overlap of the P2 only mechanic on the seeds spawning and the normal Entangling Roots cast from the boss is already one of the most challenging parts of the encounter, usually ending the guild's pull with less than 30 seconds on phase 2.

And what an interesting change again! This is probably the fourth (maybe fifth) iteration of compositions we saw so far on this Mythic Tindral prog!

Method decided to go a similar route to the one Echo, Liquid and ID took, with a double Havoc DH, double Rogue and Double BM Hunter. The twist they brought was they dropped one of the Enhancement Shamans for another Demonology Warlock. It will be interesting to see how the damage allocation between boss damage and add damage will be as soon as we see a couple of pulls by this comp.

They managed to do 85 pulls so far in this very hard encounter, having almost matched Echo's best percentage, but the EU squad have done 141 pulls so far. Keep in mind that Phase 2 of this encounter is an absolute nightmare! A very high healing check, a very hard movement requirement and of course, you still have to DPS down both the roots and the boss itself, so the current plateau for progression is the 60% mark.

Only Liquid so far managed to reach that deep into the fight, going all the way down 44% after 273 attempts.

And as we wait for both Instant Dollars and Liquid to get more consistent into clearing Phase 1, lets take a look again at their raid compositions!

The overall setup seems to be pretty standard, with both Healers and Tanks being the exact same. Between the DPS composition, the locked in positions seems to be the 2 Beast Mastery Hunters and both Havoc Demon Hunters. Here comes the interesting part, Instant Dollars decided to go to a very funnel efficient composition, choosing to run a Balance Druid (instead of the Feral), 1 Assassination Rogue and 1 Subtlety Rogue as well as a Fury Warrior, Demonology Warlock and an Augmentation Evoker. The big surprise actually comes in the last spots, with them dropping the double Enhancement Shaman setup (like Echo's) and instead bringing a Frost Death Knight, as well as a second Arcane Mage.

If you happen to watch any of their streams, you'll see how much damage the Arcane Mages are doing, and believe me, they are pumping both the adds (roots from the boss) and single target damage on the boss. I wonder if Method or Echo will adapt to any of those changes to test out how this Frost DK, double Arcane does in terms of survivability to the group, an extra Mass Barrier and a Anti-Magic Zone, and the raw damage output they bring.

And as progression on Mythic Tindral continues, its interesting to notice that although both Liquid, Method and Echo have tried a couple of different setups, its safe to assume by now that the most flexible spot is the Enhancement Shamans.

For a recap, the current DPS composition for all 3 frontrunners is 2 Havoc Demon Hunters, 2 Augmentation Evokers, 2 Rogues, 2 BM Hunters and then a Mage, a Warlock, a Warrior and a Druid (with Method running a Balance, and the other 2 running a Feral). The last two spots are taken by 2 Enhancement Shamans on the first iteration of the compositions, but so far we have seen a Beast Mastery Hunter, a Retribution Paladin and a Demonology Warlock all swapped in in favor of one of the Enhancement. The latest iteration for Echo though, caught my attention, as they swapped out of the Enhancements completely (and by doing that, dropped the powerful Windfury buff) and are now running 2 Feral Druids and 2 Demonology Warlocks!

The amount of AoE and cleave potential for this composition is massive, further emphasizing the damage requirement to break those roots, let's see what else they bring to the table, if this is just a composition for more efficient Phase 2 progression or is this actually the comp that can defeat this encounter!

An interesting difference in composition is coming up between what seems to be Echo DPS comp (at least for this first few pulls) and Liquid's.

They are both running 2 Havoc Demon Hunters, 2 Augmentation Evokers, 2 Rogues (alternating between Subtlety and Assassination) a Mage, a Warlock and a Druid alternating between Feral and Balance.

The major difference comes in the last few spots, with the NA guild running 3 Beast Mastery Hunters and 1 Enhancement Shaman, versus 2 BM Hunters and 2 Enhancements. The Ancestral Guidance spell for Shamans can be massive to help heal the crazy amount of damage out of the shields after the first intermission, and all the Hunters are running the very niche Sentinel Owl, with the Sentinel's Protection passive, to also help with that passive healing during the shields.

And the fearsome battle between BDG and Instant Dollars come to an end for now.

Both guilds pushed hard for the World 2nd on Mythic Smolderon, with ID managing to get all the way down 3.23% and BDG to 12.1% after 95 and 107 pulls respectively.

They called it for today, leaving the door open for Echo and Method to wake up tomorrow and grab that kill and start progressing on Tindral.

What an interesting end of the fight! By the looks of it, both Instant Dollars and BDG are struggling to be consistent into reaching low percentage pulls, which just goes to show how this fight can be brutal as the pull progresses.

An interesting difference between ID and BDG compositions is, currently Instant Dollars decided to run 2 Havoc Demon Hunters and 2 Augmentation Evokers, while BDG is running 3 Augmentation Evokers, dropping one of the Havoc DHs for it.

You may think that is because of the extra damage the Aug Evokers can bring, but that actually also boosts the survivability of the group by quite a margin! Both the extra Obsidian Scales with Aspect's Favor and by having one more Zephyr basically puts 15 players with boosted health and AoE damage reduction instead of 10, since each of those abilities can only target 5 players at a time.

And after around 77 pulls, Liquid finally managed to break the shield and see the first few seconds of P2!

The learning curve for P1 sadly do not transfer exactly to P2, since there is a different set of mechanics, the most dangerous of them is the little seeds you have to step on to break. It's again a combination of a lot of movement and a lot of healing, but in a very different way from what they just solved in P1.

Method on the other hand, is currently pushing for more progress on this crazy damage check fight, and are sitting at 25% after 32 attempts.

Keep in mind that Smolderon is deceiving, since once any guild figures out P1, they can repeat the strategy for the entire fight, and drops those best percentages really fast!

Quite a crazy start of this fight! Mythic Tindral is already proving to be crazy complex in this first phase, having multiple different overlaps.

The movement requirements are actually pressing the Discipline Priests Achilles' heel! The new healing ability, introduced in Patch 10.2, called Ultimate Penitance requires the Priest to be in the air channeling the spell, and with so many swirlies and beams moving around, Liquid is trying to solve this very complicated puzzle of where to be, and what to use each time the boss casts his abilities while trying to heal the insane raid wide damage going off.

The NA squad is currently still sitting at 79% as their best percentage after 65 pulls! This percentage is the exact phasing to P2, where you have to actually Dragonride during the encounter to get back to the boss and start the second phase.

Meanwhile Method has been chipping away at Mythic Smolderon! They had back-to-back-to-back best percentage pulls, slowly finding that perfect balance of damage and survivability for P1!

Keep in mind that this boss is a "patchwork" style boss, meaning that the mechanics individually are pretty simple, but the numbers are very high, and the DPS check is also very tight.

What that means for them is, successfully executing P1 on this fight you can just repeat the exact pattern until the enrage timer hits! So most of their time progressing will be at P1, but after they nail it down, we will see some massive percentage drops.

The Orange squad is currently sitting at 43.7% after 13 attempts as their personal best.

Liquid seems to have lost a little bit of momentum on this fight. They had very great pulls, even reaching sub 2%, but now they have been having random wipes during p1 and p2 for the last half an hour or so.

They started raiding more than 12 hours ago, so there is for sure an element of exhaustion playing a part. If Echo and Method wake up and they haven't been able to defeat it yet, both EU squads will for sure close the gap.

Echo is currently 4/9 Mythic while Method farmed 2 hours of Mythic+ more than the other 2 guilds, and should catch up pretty quickly judging by how the other guilds cleared the start of this instance.

And by the looks of it, maybe Echo is getting ready for the Heroic Fyrakk runs!

They currently have a few other Heroic splits finishing off their runs, and I'm assuming in the next hour or so we should see if they start farming those AOTC tokens and higher item level loot.

Meanwhile some raiders are doing Mythic+ runs to farm some of the BiS gear still in the table for their best characters.

I know splits are probably the most boring part of the RWF, but it's just incredible how efficient they are.

Both Honolulu and BDG are on average 2 item levels above every other guild currently progressing Mythic.

That doesn't sound that much, but when you consider that they can now stay on "progression" mode longer, since they have pretty much all the gear one can have, the power of this gearing strategy becomes obvious.

I'm super excited to see when Echo, Method and Liquid groups up their main characters so we can see how much more gear they managed to get, since they have done the most amount of runs.

With the splits continuing across the board, let's take a look at some of the stats from Heroic.

BDG managed to get Fyrakk the Blazing down and become the 21st guild to do so. We're getting closer to the 100th kill of Tindral Sageswift, Seer of the Flame with 93 kills so far. The firey wall of Smolderon is finally coming down as 172 guilds have now defeated him.

On the EU side, with Echo and Method yet to do their Fyrakk splits it's looking less likely we'll see any Mythic action from them today. Conspiracy on the other hand look like they may have something up their sleeve as they head into raid with only 20 players....

In the US Liquid and BDG are just starting their day, so we may still see some Mythic kills from them. The race is starting to heat up now!

As the never ending splits continue on, we can see over on US that BDG are firing ahead with their Heroic Fyrakk the Blazing splits, while Liquid are having their daily Rise and Raid programme before they head into the raid. BDG say that their splits are almost done, so will we get to see Mythic action from them today? Only time will tell.

And we keep on pushing for gear on splits!

It will be very interesting to see how much gear all the top guilds will be able to acquire with these extra days of Heroic farming. Keep in mind that Instant Dollars was with an average item level of 463 when they defeated Mythic Volcoross, so that's the number we should be looking out for.

minor

As the dawn approaches in the NA side, the EU squads are pumping hard for gear!

Echo and Method are both in the middle of Heroic splits, probably going all the way today with those runs, so they can either start early tomorrow with Heroic Fyrakk farming, and finish off the day with some Mythic+ or go for some Mythic action at the end of tomorrow.

We had 20 Guilds so far that defeated Heroic Fyrakk and got that AOTC tier set token plus the higher item level rewards from the boss, so we can assume it will be pretty difficult just as Tindral and Smolderon have been.

Just stopping by to remember you to drink more water!

The splits are going strong, and according to Echo's broadcast they are now up to 55% on Heroic splits.

Method is also pushing hard on Heroic clears, and should probably be close to that as well.

Friendly reminder to get up a bit and stretch your legs :D

We are still stuck in Splitsville, and it doesn't look like the EU squads are going to go into Mythic today just yet.

From what we could tell from Echo and Method we still have a solid chunk of runs to happen before they can start clearing Heroic Fyrakk.

Meanwhile, across the pond we still have a good 4 or 5 hours before the day raiding guilds from NA wake up, and I'm really interested to see if they will go straight to Fyrakk on Heroic or keep doing all the other bosses with more characters.

Heroic Tindral is still one of the least killed bosses on heroic so far, with less than a 100 guilds globally being able to defeat the encounter!

It will be for sure an interesting fight on the Mythic version.

And while I'm typing this, both Echo and Method wiped on the boss. Keep in mind that they are with 30 players in the raid, for the most amount of gear possible, so it is naturally harder than just going with an optimized composition.

For the looks of it, all top guilds are having problems consistently clearing Heroic Smolderon and Heroic Tindral!

We have seen countless wipes so far, just showing how the bigger item level gap is taking its toll in the split groups. Even though most frontrunners are already reaching a very high item level with all that gear being funneled into those characters.

Liquid still have a long day ahead of them, and I expect them to do some back to back Heroic Fyrakk kills before the end of the day.

Meanwhile, Echo and Method are not that far behind, having done just as many Heroic runs. They are probably going further into the night, so maybe we see a little bit more of the amazing Fyrakk encounter in the Heroic version for the EU squads as well.
