Wyrmrest Accord Guild Achieves Realm First Kil'Jaeden Mythic, Disbands Afterwards

Recommended Posts

You read that title correctly: we may be almost two months into Battle for Azeroth, but a guild managed to down the notorious end boss from the penultimate raiding tier of Legion only yesterday.

The Feat of Strength was achieved by  <realm first btw> 1 year and 3 months after the release of Mythic Tomb of Sargeras. The guild proceeded to disband afterwards, although -  according to a comment on Reddit - it was originally created with the sole purpose of achieving this realm first kill. They even shared their nerd screams for this great achievement on Twitch.

Wyrmrest Accord is one of the most well-known RP servers on the US. Players are obviously not that focused on the competitive aspect of the game, but there's still some raiding presence. Five guilds have cleared Mythic Antorus and four guilds are currently on 2 out of 8 bosses on Mythic Uldir.

Kil'Jaeden was the only boss that had gotten away. The first guild on Tier 20 killed Mythic Fallen Avatar two weeks before the release of Antorus and it seems that afterwards nobody bothered with clearing Tomb of Sargeras.

Wowprogress still hasn't updated with the KJ kill - if it ever does, given that it was done by a disbanded guild

We all remember what a pleasant walkover of a boss Kil'Jaeden was on Mythic difficulty. The big bad guy, thanks to whom the "mathematically impossible" meme became relevant again, remained alive for 19 days when first released. It took Method 3 resets and 654 wipes to achieve the Kil'Jaeden world first, making it one of the hardest bosses in WoW's history.

Yea, even clearing the raid on Normal difficulty was a pain the keester. I remembered trying to pug Heroics and I just kinda gave up on Heroic Tomb once the pug groups I join keep hitting walls. If only my school/work schedule made it easy on which i can raid with an actual guild...

Wasn't C'thun the one who spawned that phrase? If I remember correctly, it might have even been Ion who came to that conclusion.

ToS was the most fun mythic raid in this game for me, I'm loved every progress there and was my favorite the Maiden where now every second pug can fail in 360 x ) Avatar and KJ was a killer, guild-breaking bosses but the mechanics was just aahw, so cool. I miss ToS so much!

Ah, you are probably right - I wasn't playing back then but I remember it now. Then again, the term meme didn't exist back in ye olde C'thun days ?

I heard the term used for Yogg-Saron 25 with no keepers as well.

Hi! I figured I'd give a little bit of history on Fallen Avatar and big bad ol' KJ himself.

The guild I was co-leading mostly had people that were in their late 20s to early 30s. We wanted to aim for KJ, but during Fallen Avatar progress, we ended up hitting Blizzcon and attendance became a rough topic for us. We would miss multiple raid nights at a time simply because people just had no choice but to focus on real life and with Wyrmrest Accord not really having much of a recruitment pool, we didn't exactly have an overflowing roster. At one point, we actually went almost two weeks without getting a pull in on Fallen Avatar, simply because the timing of when this raid hit us.

When we finally reached KJ, we had decided it just wasn't worth the stress to continue progressing on him. We managed to make it past the first intermission and push into phase 2, but people were already burnt. We wanted a break for Antorus so we all agreed with how things were going, it was probably best to just focus our time on relaxing before we had to immediately rush into new content. Funnily enough, Antorus for us ended with a guild sitting at -exactly- 100th US.

Rag was first, but C'thun was more famous because he was hilariously OP.

He wasn‘t just hilariously OP but absolutely unkillable.

And by that I mean that people have done simulations proving that the perfect raid setup wearing the best available gear and playing their class and the fight without a single flaw couldn‘t down the boss.

It was, in fact, mathematically impossible.

Interestingly enough, one of the the first people to determine this was Ion, back when he was a raid leader for Elitist Jerks in 06. He posted on their forum board about the raid needing to do a combined 240k DPS which was theoretically doable, but impossible in practice due to how the fight was set up. Because of this, I found it kind of ironic when he admitted that MFetid was mathematically impossible.

 

The next major boss that was impossible to kill was KT, although that was mostly due to how bugged his fight was. Between dead adds not dropping threat, invisible mechanics, and the shield having a longer CD then the spell it needed to block, the fight was undoable.

If I recall correctly, the next use of the phrase wasn't until Ulduar, with 25M Hodir HM and 25M Yogg No Watchers both deemed impossible due to fight mechanics. Hodir ended up needing the Flower Power buff from Freya's room to clear initially and it took an insanely complex kiting pattern for Yogg to eventually fall.

      Today's hotfixes are still very Plunderstorm-heavy, but we do get fixes for more achievement-related mount issues and PvP catch-up, in addition to the limited time event's adjustments.
      March 27 (Source)
      Achievements
      Fixed bugs causing mounts related to A World Awoken to be unavailable, including Bestowed Ottuk Vanguard, Bestowed Trawling Mammoth, Bestowed Thunderspine Packleader, Bestowed Sandskimmer, Bestowed Ohuna Spotter, Coralscale Salamanther, Stormtouched Bruffalon, and Taivan. Player versus Player
      Fixed an issue that prevented Splintered Sparks of Dreams from dropping from PvP sources while eligible for catch-up. Plunderstorm
      The Storm’s fury swells! Lightning strikes during the final stage of the Storm are faster and more dangerous than before. There is now a delay of 20 seconds after being revived where players no longer drop collected Plunder. Additional enemies now spawn at Witherbark Village, the wild area northeast of Go’Shek Farm, and the wild area between Witherbark Village and Boulderfist Hall. Fixed an issue where swapping back to default sword and gun appearances were not saving correctly. Fixed an issue so that now, picking up an additional rank 2 spell while the same rank 2 spell is equipped properly grants the rank 4 version of the spell. The Captain’s Orders quest “X Marks the Spot” now requires 1 item to be picked up (was 2 items).

      Well that didn't take long! We found out someone had broken the 700,000 Plunder milestone yesterday evening, and we're already done with the full amount now! Soularpower_ managed to grind it out a couple of hours ago in duos, and grabbed the Plunderkind achievement, so huge congratulations! It's been a week and a day since the event was released, and despite there being plenty of Plunder drop buffs since then it's still great to see someone get it all done already. 


      Unsurprisingly, the first thing Soularpower_ after reaching that goal was... play more Plunderstorm! He's actually still at it if now you want to check the stream out.

      Here's our first post-patch look at the Mythic+ log rankings. While the patch didn't really touch any of the DPS or tank specs, there's still some movement there, especially in the raw DPS chart. Healers got some solid changes in the patch, and the definitely had an effect.
      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 percentiles are extremely stable, which makes sense since the patch didn't really bring any significant changes for DPS specs. We have to go down to number 7 to see the first bit of movement, as Destruction moves two up, leaving its fellow Warlock down in 9th, as Arms gets between them, gaining 3 spots. Havoc closes out the top 10 three down, and right behind it we find the newly buffed Elemental moving three up. While Augmentation is being properly calculated, we still find an Evoker in the bottom 3, as Devastation drops one down and takes Marksmanship's place.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      It took Shadow a little longer to get into the top in the generalist bracket, as we find it in 3rd now, pushing Outlaw down one. Balance also moves up, 2 spots into 6th, as it and Arms take advantage of Havoc's fall. The Demon Hunter finds itself 3 down in 9th, while Fury remains stable at the very end of the top 10.

      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.
      While Outlaw remains at the top, pretty much everything's changing beneath it. Shadow and Retribution joined forces and moved two up together, breaking into the top 3. Fire is also on the rise, gaining 3 spots, and right behind it we find another big leaper, as Arms moves a whopping 5 spots up.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      There's actually some solid movement here, as we see Paladin take 2nd away from DK and Druid take Monk down, with Warrior remaining in last place and DH being far ahead of the pack.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Healers had some significant changes with the patch, but it hasn't stopped Monk from remaining at the top. Druid moves into 2nd, taking Discipline Priest down a peg, and it seems the Holy Priest patch reworks helped it out, as it gains a spot in 4th.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs and u.gg. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides, as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      In Dragonflight Season 4, Awakened/Fated raids will be on a weekly rotation.
      Upon accessing the Adventure Guide and navigating to the Raids section, you'll notice a green gem icon beside the raid that's Awakened for the current week.

      When a raid is Awakened, bosses are more powerful and loot drops are upgraded to a higher item level. The upcoming season revisits the Fated system introduced in Shadowlands Season 4.

      We've already taken a look at all the items coming to the Trading Post next month, as the Season 4 PTR revealed them, but now let's see them in movement as well! MrGM has detailed everything coming in April, from the awesome Dreadwake mount to a pretty cool polearm, some new capes, and all the other pirate-themed items. Let's take a look. 

      If you'd rather just scroll through some images, you can head on to our original post here.
