World First N'Zoth Mythic By Complexity Limit

Recommended Posts

a7iOeWS.jpg
 

After leading the entire raid and grabbing 8 World Firsts, Complexity Limit have taken that final step and claimed their ninth as well, with their Mythic N'Zoth kill! The final boss of Ny'alotha and Battle for Azeroth has fallen and brought the first US raid endboss World First since the first tier of Mists of Pandaria in Heart of Fear in 2012. Huge congratulations to Limit who really dominated this raid, their lead never being in question, bumping up against many bugs and issues along the way, but pulled through nonetheless.

Here's the World First kill directly from the event stream, starting in the mythic only phase, with some 40% left on the boss:

Some truly impressive play, with the new tactic of having a player outside the raid throughout the whole raid, the GM and raid leader Max in this case, calling all the shots and looking over the players for almost all the bosses, which was somewhat adopted by Method as well, on one or two bosses. Method are currently on 33% and are the closest guild to Limit, with Pieces, Alpha and Aversion behind them. Also, over 100,000 people watched live on Max's stream as the boss went down, with another 80,000 on Method's with another at least 50,000 across all the other player streams.

As far as the US 16 hour advantage, the general consensus among all WF raiders is that "a World First is a World First", meaning that it's just about the first guild to down a boss, regardless of the US (and EU) advantage. In this particular case that doesn't seem like it will be relevant, as Method are very unlikely to down the boss in the next 16 hours, with the same applying to Alpha and their 30-ish hour disadvantage.

N'Zoth died after 274 pulls on the third day of the second week, which is perhaps just a tiny bit disappointing in terms of boss length, but with Corrupted items having an incredible impact on this raid, which was showcased by the postponed nerfs. It was still an incredibly impressive performance by Limit, showcasing their amazing players and preparation, strategy and execution. Huge congratulations all round once again!

The endboss and the raid in general had a much higher amount of drama than usual as well, starting way back on Heroics with some guilds getting two reset's worth of loot from N'Zoth, continuing with Ra-den where Limit, Method and then everyone else abused his short reset timer to stack up some big buffs to their opening DPS, and then heading to Mythic N'Zoth himself who had a massive bug get saved by Blizzard despawning the boss for Limit, but then also accidentally despawning him for everyone on the US servers, a big hotfix mid-progress that was then reverted the next day, and finally the crazy move of Blizzard presumably completely scrapping the final Mythic-only phase and more. We also took a look at whether the boss really was as buggy as it seemed compared to previous expansions, which you can read about here.

You can check out everything that's happened so far in your race coverage hub, or follow the race to World 2nd over on Method's site or stream, as well as celebrate with the champions on Complexity Limit's stream!

Limit played really well this tier almost unbelievably so, I've been following the race with so many streams open (though mainly Asian ones) and Limit's play has been really amazing.

While their choice of having Max watch from the outside and command/guide the raid is smart and interesting it still takes good players to actually perform those actions and execute on it and that has been the most impressive thing to watch I think.

Gratz to them, but I hope that the "coach" thing doesn't catch on.  I personally don't like it at all.  Also not a huge fan of the casters this race, seemed more spastic and annoying than informative and engaging.  Just my 2 cents

I'm not a fan of the coach thing either, but it's 100% going to be the new normal.

I hate that everyone still wants Method to beat it in 16 hours now so they can try to say Method should be number 1. That argument doesn't hold water anymore since guilds who watch the world first get so much strat info. I guarantee if they do it, we will hear that quite often. I am all for a global launch to make things more interesting.

Grats Limit! Very well deserved.

Wow, so what if they were being coached, it was a different tactic used and it paid off for them. If other guilds try it in the future then good luck to them, I don't see a problem with it. That would not make me stop watching world first streams so I won't cry about it like some people. Method were the best before N'zoth died and now they are not so they will be feeling the pressure. Good job Limit, well deserved!

And I get that the coaching thing will be the norm now, but it just means that I won't watch anymore race to world firsts. 

That's a pretty extreme reaction but ok.

If that really stops you from watching, you're just looking for an excuse. Almost every "e-sport" (and EVERY regular sport) has a coach. League, DotA, Counter Strike, etc. You might not consider it that way, but there's clearly enough money they're treating the world first races as an E-sports tournament.

The 21 man coach thing i think is fine. If you think about it, it kind of accomplishes the goal of weak aura's. If you watch methods attempts, you'll notice commands pop up in weak aura's and on timers like "Pre-spread right" , reminiscent of what max was calling out in real time. So in a way, a 21m coach is basically just doing what several mods that are already in game do, but in real time and fluctuate per pull, and make communication easier because everyone is communicating to max, and then he's relaying it back as commands rather than people having to think on the fly if their weak auras are innacurate or they put themselves in a bad position for a pull.

There is litterally no reason to not have a coach because the only thing that matters is taking the bosses down the most efficient way possible. people hung up "skills" should reconsider.

      Solozerro has defeated Mythic Garrosh alone in MoP Remix! Congrats to the amazing feat that took months of dedication to accomplish!
      In an emotional tribute to a friend who passed away during the transition between World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm expansions, one dedicated player has fulfilled a long-standing promise to leave their mark in the game's history.
      "I promised her I would make a name for myself in WoW history, and today, I can finally say I've done this in her honor," Solozerro said.
      This accomplishment was the result of several evenings of dedicated attempts, each preceded by a week of rigorous farming. The process spanned multiple weeks, with each attempt lasting about 15 minutes.
      The player faced significant challenges, particularly with the Y’Shaarj adds during Garrosh Hellscream’s Empowered Whirlwind phase. "You need a high DPS check just for those adds," Solozerro explained.
      Back when the fight was nearly impossible to solo as a DPS, Solo had to do it in tank specialization to avoid fight resets due to mind control, which significantly impacted their damage output.
      Despite these obstacles, the player remained steadfast. "In total, I collected over 1.5 million threads on my cloak," they said, underscoring the extent of their efforts.

      Even the recent nerfs to Garrosh Hellscream posed a unique challenge. "I overslept and when I woke up and heard about the nerfs, I was sure someone would have tried it. During the fight, I still had adds up, but luckily, I managed to meet the DPS check to avoid the Empowered Whirlwind."
      This achievement not only honors a friend's memory but also serves as an inspiration to the WoW community. "These changes will affect a lot and might actually push more people to try it," the player reflected.
      Here’s the solo video! We want to congratulate Solozerro once again and express how thrilled we are to have been part of this incredible journey!
      Solozerro's journey has come to an end today with 24 days of MoP Remix remaining! The player has soloed Mythic Garrosh after the recent raid nerfs, nearly 1 months after soloing the Paragons of Klaxxi.

      As of the War Within pre-patch, Alysrazor in the Firelands raid is bugged, preventing players from getting the Flametalon of Alysrazor mount.
      Blizzard made various updates to flying in the War Within pre-patch, and a possible side-effect could be tied to Alysrazor not leaving her spawn location when you engage her in the raid.
      Hopefully, Blizzard will soon release a fix for the issue. Until then, don't bother soloing the Firelands!

      It's time for some more preliminary stats, as the pre-patch has been here a whole 3 days (well, not exactly "whole", especially considering the game time gifts)! We're taking a look at how the class changes shifted the dungeon meta, but keep in mind these are really early numbers and fewer players do Mythic+ in post-season.
      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
      While the very top spot remains unchallenged, as Augmentation is set to rule M+ forever, the rest is pretty different! We have some Fyr'alath action right after the Evoker, as Fury and Ret fight it out over the silver, while Shadow falls down to 4th, but is still very much in the game. Unholy makes a solid leap up and passes Elemental, with Fire dropping down some. Devastation and Demonology are newcomers to the bottom 3, where Enhancement welcomes them as a pretty much permanent resident.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      Things are looking similar in the generalist bracket, but Retribution takes down Fury here and Fire is significantly higher. Survival is also doing a lot better than in the top percentiles, and Beast Mastery makes the top 10 as well.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      The tanks show basically no change whatsoever, as is customary, with only Protection Warrior managing to climb one up and leave Brewmaster at the bottom.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Holy is pushing up and then some, claiming 2nd right below the long-time emperor, Resto Druid. Shaman climbs up from much lower to grab 3rd, while Discipline falls down to the bottom.

      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 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.
