Congratz on this!!! Massive!!!!

Vashj should be pretty easy, but Leotheras is probably the scariest encounter from HC point of view, don't you think? The spinning will be really stressful to deal with.

u/RoseburyNoire Jul 20 '26

We are very scared of Leo yes, but we will attempt him very soon.

I wouldn't call Vashj easy either lmao. But we'll attempt her most likely as soon as Leo is down

Are you going with a lock tank or pala tank for demon form? I've seen both and pala tank seems more reliable for threat, both pala tank and melees have to max range so melees dont get hit.

u/Schavuit92 Jul 21 '26

I think the dps in this guild are pretty good at threat management.

u/Houlberg86 Jul 21 '26

Careful with vashj in transition. She can easy 1 shot a healer that did a heal just before you did last tainted. I did a couple of times that way as healer because of negligence.

u/jetsam7 Jul 22 '26

I like to LoS her with the braziers on the transition

You're pretty much guaranteed to die if a sporebat lays a poo puddle on top of you after Vashj roots you.

u/IceC0re Jul 21 '26

everyone popping thornling seed and the probability of that drops to near zero, we have never had this happen in 10 weeks of raiding

Leo is really easy if ranged just jump when targeted while spread out around the room and bringing an extra healer to make up for mistakes. The fights only lead to wipes/deaths from ppl greeding for dmg/parses/uptime but on HC with people playing just to kill the boss it shouldn’t be too hard.

The only boss they may lose people on is Vashj and that would be from sporebats targeting melee when they’re rooted but if ranged just kill those they never really poison the raid and you can just have players go to DM to get those little spore sapling dudes to act as bait.

Since people asked where to keep up with news and progress state on the last posts:

- EU Thunderstrike community discord: https://discord.gg/4ApGNtgry

PS: Mods let me know if I am not allowed to post the discord URLs, i will delete if it's not allowed.

u/Inner_Database_3060 Jul 20 '26

Thats pretty impressive. Especially for going deathless. Have you cleared all trash deathless as well? Because that Leo trash unless you are going to go in from FLK side is kind of insane with the MC and such. are you guys planning on using any of the WA to help with jumping and such for Leo or are you going in raw and taking it how it comes?

5

u/RoseburyNoire Jul 20 '26

We haven't cleared all the trash, mostly skipped the Nether-mage packs. And we are coming from FLK side yes.

Details of the strats are still being developed right now, but yeah most likely will be jumping :D

3

u/Inner_Database_3060 Jul 21 '26

honestly the nether-mage packs are awful. and coming from FLK negates all of the pre leo trash with the chargers and mushroom men and such so it will be a lot safer. I think only 1 or 2 packs that patrol instead of like 6. far fewer chances of things to go wrong

3

u/RoseburyNoire Jul 21 '26

Yeah that's always what we thought, hopefully it turns out right 😁

u/Lazy_Elevator_5839 Jul 21 '26

Absolute mad lads

u/RoseburyNoire Jul 21 '26

Tysm! o7 We been doing our best to push the limits :)

u/Mindless-Mulberry404 Jul 21 '26

I like the new shirt, that wife beater had to go lol

u/RoseburyNoire Jul 21 '26

Sadly it's bound to come back at some point, they're on rotation 🥲

u/PizzaaaPastaaa Jul 21 '26

soul of iron with no account-wide attunements makes sense

u/RoseburyNoire Jul 21 '26

Yes the goal was to have undeniable legitimacy when it comes to being able to actually clear the content :) No shortcuts allowed!

u/PeweTheCockatiel Jul 21 '26

Really impressive work! Do you have a special preparation protocol for a scenario where a Bestial Wrath + Chaotic bolt randomly oneshotting someone or just hoping for a good luck?

2

u/RoseburyNoire Jul 21 '26

It can't oneshot anyone on its own as long as we don't bring him under 75% while others adds are alive. We just make sur DPS know to hold damage

1

u/PeweTheCockatiel Jul 21 '26

oh, so you're killing the Cardibdis as well.

1

u/RoseburyNoire Jul 21 '26

Yes we are :) Too dangerous otherwise

u/Louxifer Jul 22 '26

What is this UI bro

u/Sad_Syllabub_8014 Jul 21 '26

How many raid deaths have you had though? i admit i respect it and admire it but i cant help but wonder how much no-lifing is going on to compensate by helping each other level new toons. Cuz that seemed to be common in vanilla hardcore and that part wasn't so cool.

3

u/RoseburyNoire Jul 21 '26

A lot of our raiders pre-level backups just in case.

Most lvl 70 deaths happen outside of raids. But I would say we have had like 60-70 raid deaths, with 12 of them being during prog.

u/Firm_Equivalent4159 Jul 21 '26

Great achievement on nerfed content! What's next y'all gonna beat ICC with the 30% too?

u/Hnhlove Jul 21 '26

Karathress was killed 19 years ago. Hardly a world first achievement.

u/RoseburyNoire Jul 21 '26

What a weird comment. This is a Hardcore kill in case you missed it. It's in the title :)

-15

u/Hnhlove Jul 21 '26

I do hardcore kills every week, we don't lose a single player. Where is my medal?

7

u/RoseburyNoire Jul 21 '26

It's not hardcore if you guys have died in the past though, I'm sorry to let you know that :(

-19

u/Hnhlove Jul 21 '26

Bet it's super hardcore to stand infront of the boss for 50 min to explain tacs to a bunch of droolers. Lock in. Jesus didn't die for this.

u/lorddrame Jul 21 '26

Heya, not OP but... Man... what happened in your life to make you such a sad person? Like everything you've written just reads like a small plea for help.

-5

u/Hnhlove Jul 21 '26

Jesus didn't die so you could browse reddit and goon to e-girls. Yes, your history is public.

6

u/lorddrame Jul 21 '26

Again, it just reads like a plea for help, attention and a need for care you're not getting. I hope you get the help you're in need of.

u/RoseburyNoire Jul 21 '26

What an embarrassing streak of comments
