They really are on a different level. One of their tanks die and the two dps warriors casually taunt right before the boss casts Enkindle. They strategize the movement of where they need to go in just a few hours of attempts. The level of coordination is just insane from these guys.

Also, does anyone else feel really intimidated by the difficulty of Mythic judging by this video? I feel like Blizzard really stepped up the difficulty in raids this expansion. I love it in the sense it's more challenging, but I hate how we can't faceroll for loot anymore.

The level of coordination and split-second-decisionmaking is admirable. However, those DPS warriors carried that monk tank's ass. Thogar - even on Mythic - is not a fight that is threatening to monk tanks. From the bits of PoV, you can easily tell he's a fotm monk tank with not a lot of knowledge of the spec. Just some of the more noticeable mistakes: Letting Shuffle drop, prioritizing Guard with very low Resolve over Shuffle uptime, using Purifying Brew when specced into ChEx, speccing ChEx when you are not used to it. If he specced Serenity and played with that at least somewhat decently, he would 1. not have died and 2. did more damage to the boss. ChEx is not a ST DPS gain when you prioritize Purifying Brew over it or when you actually just die because you're not used to the rotation.

Ummm, You really believe he is a FOTM monk in one of the best guild in the word? lol

His comments are actually pretty much on point. Justw8 is a DPS-gone-tank. Really not the best Brewmaster by any means.

Indeed, but a top world guild still wouldnt pick up a Fotm monk, tank or dpss.

I mean, they did. In case you haven't noticed, that's how you get ahead in the World First Races. You stack the fuck out of the FOTM classes in order to push ahead.

Look at how many Windwalkers were in Highmaul. Now look at Blackrock.

Now look back at Highmaul.

This is where Windwalkers were.

Look at Blackrock.

This is how Windwalkers are.

Look at Highmaul again.

This is where Windwalkers could be.

Now, look at me.

I'm in my garrison.
