The reset is here and the final two bosses of the tier have become available! It didn’t take long for the March on Quel’danas to be cleared on Heroic difficulty. Liquid took the fight down in preparation for more Heroic and Mythic splits pretty quickly! The guild currently in the lead in the Race to World First took around 4 and a half hours to get the kill from server up. However, that’s mostly due to other preparations and a bug that made them skip the boss for a while until it got fixed.
The fight is an interesting one and requires a big healer investment (7 healers in a 30-man raid). Hopefully, it will be enough of a challenge on Mythic as well. The top guilds have done around 10 Mythic splits of Voidspire and Chimaerus each before the reset, and are looking at 10 more now. So, their gear levels will be a bit crazy compared to the previous week 2’s of the race.
Whether Blizzard can balance Midnight Falls Mythic around that will be very interesting to see. Will it just be a complete unkillable wall until hotfixes arrive? Will it just fall over within a day or two? We should find out at least whether the latter is true later today. It’s going to be heroic and Mythic splits time for a while for Liquid, followed by Belo’ren. The phoenix doesn’t seem likely to cause too much trouble for the top guilds, but we’ll have to wait and see.
