Vault of the Incarnates Mythic Race to World First, Day 5: 6/8, Echo Almost Catch Up

Recommended Posts

Another big day in the race as we saw a World First, a lot of progress on the Vault's penultimate boss, Echo catching up (to a point) and a fair amount of guilds entering the raid and getting some kills!

Kurog Grimtotem was looking like a very challenging fight as Liquid put pull after pull into him, choosing and setting up which element to bring in when, and it was looking like a proper roadblock for a while there. And then Blizzard's "it's Christmas next week" alarm sounded and we got another round of significant nerfs. Liquid managed to get the boss down to 28% before the nerf (which took them 40 pulls) and immediately got that down to 10% after it, with the (many) adds getting their HP lowered by 8%. This didn't entirely trivialize the fight, however, as Liquid needed another 19 pulls to get the boss down, including this 2% wipe:

They did manage to defeat the Grimtotem and claim the World First in pull 59, moving to 6/8.

The full kill pull:

Meanwhile Echo finally entered Mythic during the day and managed to catch up fully, if for a short time. They tore through the first bosses as you'd expect, taking 1 pull for the first two, 5 pulls for Terros, 10 for Sennarth, but then hit a bit of a wall. Despite her nerfed state, Dathea took them quite a while to take down, 59 pulls and most of the afternoon and evening, in fact, as they finally downed her as Liquid was still progressing on Kurog. There was also a crazy moment of synchronicity for the two guilds, as both had their best attempts on their respective bosses at the same time - and both were at 4%, deep into the enrage phase! Echo got the kill soon after, claiming the World 2nd after 59 total pulls.

Echo were on 5/8 with Liquid for about an hour before the US guild's Kurog kill and took a few shots at the big tauren themselves, getting him down to 45% after 7 pulls before calling it a night. Liquid had the rest of the night to push Broodkeeper Diurna, the penultimate boss of the Vault, and spent a fair amount of time just discussing their potential strategies, as this one is no joke. They managed to get her down to 40.5% so far, but they're still going right now! They seem to have the mechanics of how to consistently get her that low down, but that's a lot of HP left...

BDGG also managed to take down their nemesis of the day before, Sennarth, and after only 3 new pulls, making the total 56 and grabbing them the World 3rd. Instant Dollars followed soon after with the World 4th, and while BDGG didn't choose to touch Dathea after their kill, ID did and got her down to 56% after 43 pulls.

The day also featured quite a few other guilds deciding to move past that 2/8 mark and braving Terros, as FatSharkYes opened the gates, taking 16 pulls to get the big earthy fellow down, followed by Imperative, XD and Poptart Corndog, all of whom are now on 3/8.

We're getting very close to Raszageth and the race between Liquid and Echo is intensifying, as this was just their first day in the Mythic raid in parallel. It remains to be seen how tough Broodkeeper actually is (and whether Blizzard pull another "oh no, race must end soon" nerf), whether Echo can catch up and just how hard Raszageth the Storm Eater herself will be.

      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.

      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.
