And was the scales help pot and like eat it out with the with hover but they have help up
PG
Sure does a lot of them when you pick up. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I know I can lift the scales as a whole HP
It's just that a little miscalculation without but
We know exactly what to do
We didn't lose a lot of people.
I have a question about the royal condemnation.
I just don't know how I died with my personal there.
Was I just...
We're supposed to have a level for the royal condemnation, you get it?
No, no, no, no. I didn't have it. I was like...
on the boss.
The costs are going through.
We should all be on task at W?
Well, you're the closest person in the entire raid to the condemnations, if that matters.
I move in though even when you move in, okay? Yeah, I guess I'm just I mean like if you're a melee
Like why would anyone not you're not like why would anyone not be here?
Be there. Yeah, just fucking be alive. I
Know the essence is scary, but you just crawl in I always crawl in there, bro
Yeah, I heard careful of essence under boss and I'd crept in slowly
I guess and it's way too slow then when the boom happens. I beat up
I make a bolt to the right give everyone room
Let's fucking get yeah, I mean we don't bro is we just have to like live to the end of the boss instead
Yes, just fucking do that
Yeah, yes, we look at the end
Well, yeah, so we talked about it, maybe well someone was peeing but we were
That's how you do it boys you fucking run right into the ring like
Okay, so here's what people I think people really got baited by this line the this line right here
Because it makes it kind of seem like the the line is gonna start right here, but that's just not true
So this thing goes away
Yeah, like that person definitely thought that and then it just comes from the edge basically this is so easy here all you do is
just
Bucket reversal track user darkness here for sure
like
You just see the ring about to touch the thing I
And then you pick it up and run it in look at the top right
He did that perfect. I swear to you. She
And then the major if we don't die here the mages alter Riku has cooldowns Yip's gets a
Any external and ports this shit and then Yip's just tanks his boss and the mages fucking send it to the Shadow Realm
Hey, man
We need to do that if we can pull right like the boss. No, we won't need to it'll just be done
It's fucking way if I was the insurance in case
Well, let's go down for less fucking martyrs all the majors in the road. Yeah, I can kill it. Oh
Yeah, I was at the bathroom, but um if you yeah, I am not gonna try to say live
I don't think I don't
All right, we'll fucking do me doesn't orders images. I also feel like it's just very important
We don't have the thing hit
Anything like even if we have extra people try to suicide
But you it we really need people not to suicide wrong that's happened multiple times now you do not do that
We just went before just fall. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Oh

Extrins.
OK, and then go left after.
And we are coming out of this monster energy.
Listen in, a healer is dead.
Another soon follows, but we don't need them.
was the call. A beer as is going to be up in a few seconds here to get one of them back.
We've lost to Shaman, but we do have Ankh available here. Oh, that's not Shaman.
That's a mage. That's not going to be as good. This is going to be a problem. I wonder if we res
maybe the mage instead of the healer just for as much damage as possible. But now
more players are starting to go down on this bull right after that previous best
of 1.7. Can they still keep this one going? They have so much damage.
Yeah, it's super tough. Losing fire up there is unfortunate. Spire and extra stacks are gone. We have committed
middle left here those acolytes I believe are mostly all down I think they all
are yeah they're all down here so we're gonna see these last essences picked up
here with this Nova coming in taking portal about two seconds here making it
oh that is tough that one was looking good for a while though another 10.24% I
believe that was 10 oh my god boss is just absolutely getting demolished they
moved so much here for more damage but that's not gonna be this pull right
after the 1.7 but let me tell you this boss will not survive long if
if they keep making it to the last phase
with everything like that.
No, I don't think so.
That little revitalization last pull was what they needed.
They're right back in this locked in.
I don't even think that push they had,
that like 1% wipe is great.
They said they can get it like 1.5% low.
That always happens, right?
You get your really low push and you're like,
you're sort of thinking of all the things
that went wrong on that pull and you're like,
okay, if we literally had just done those
like we usually do and then we did the end bit,
like we did on that one pull,
the boss would already be dead.
So wow, it is getting tense here
Hack the Team Liquid, Race the World First,
presented by Coinbase.
Some of our other incredible sponsors include Honda,
Secret Lab, Monster Energy, Alienware,
Raider I.O., Wowhead, Warcraft Logs,
and Dungeon Dotto, Andranus,
joined by Kalamazhi and Kams, rather.
Kams, I was gonna reinvent the pronunciation
of your name there, if you like that.
Yeah, I'll take Kams.
You can have either way, yeah, whatever you prefer.
Yeah, you can call me a, ooh, fake,
a doomer, a loser, I'll eat my words.
I thought this boss was not killable,
My heart is racing yeah repole. We are really getting to that point now where even though we're not actually playing
You know the heart is beating the the limbs are shaking and the pole timer is out
They are in in rage here just pulling this boss over and over again
Yeah, what a sister to learn here really I mean you know you want that low push coming out of that first shielding phase one
That's 60 ish percent range. We're looking for just consistency clean pull here
We know we have to do we've seen the end of this fight up three or four times now
Now 1.76 with a good phase one push is 0.0 and that boss is dead.
This is literally any full territory with about three hours in the night left.
I think well.
Two and a half I guess.
I think it has infinite hours left in the night.
That's fair.
I think at this point, it ties or we die, has been called.
Oh, we're close enough.
If it was 5% maybe they'd be dead.
You can't go to bed on a 1.76% that is not possible.
The human body does not let you sleep under those circumstances until it's 5 or 6AM
We may as well go until then. Yeah, I think they've been cracking m's earlier in the day or later
We've been allowing the late m pop. That's we've removed the M limit
We are cross crossing the M threshold here
Unlimited M. Yeah, hopefully get unlimited procs on the enhancement shaman here impact. Absolutely
I mean high walls base one was so boring for the last like 200 poles
And now it's exciting again because we are looking at that health number
And we are just thinking about the fact that we only need to find 1.76 percent more damage and this boss will die
And honestly that 1.76 percent pull we could have just kept it going for a few more seconds and the boss would have died as well
Yeah, they were so clean on that pull. I could not believe it. I was going it's dead. It's dead. Yeah, and just
Yips solo tanking at the end Bailey couldn't finish it off
And I cannot believe this boss this tier has been insane like who's been playing out of their mind
Like I think this boss proves just how good they are gamer down here. It's trying me
Yeah, one better is available here
We can indeed get him up at the boss sitting at 73
We have one final frost set coming to that four set over that with no rest here as long as we make it through here
Though they should be a decent pushing the boss looking around that
66.5 ish percent threshold once the boss actually pushes past that shield
It's about a half a percent give or take you can milk more before the boss runs away
So 60.5 ish is about where you want to see but it's not impossible without that either way
We have a couple players die towards the end of that final phase
Yeah, we can do it right we know that we have enough to actually do even a little bit more than a hundred percent
This boss is help not much more, but a little more a hundred point one Jordan. Yeah
It's not there's not a lot of wiggle room. Yeah, I've noticed over the past hour or so after like watching the previous cast
They have definitely be getting this boss lower and lower heading into most faces here
62.43.
Yeah, a couple of global swore that shield goes up.
Actually, yeah.
Yeah, we are milking a little bit here.
This could go down to 61 flat out of this intermission if they are clean here.
If they don't have to commit any extra damage to actually beat that red line,
which represents the third grip-in, that they cannot allow to cast.
Yeah, it's funny because that red line, that marker that shows that third grip-in has become...
The blue and red line have become closer and closer to the physical cast,
which might seem like a bad thing,
But it's actually a good thing right as they've optimized more and more damage on the boss and not the shield for this part of the fight
Which he was Riku here. Unfortunately. We still can push
We're jumping yep, that's okay
We're not interested. We are not interested in these bowls with players dad
This is this is silly at this point. We know that we need everybody at least
Through most of P3. That's what we're interested in. That's gonna be another white there pull 389
Yeah, I've always said though pull 390 was the one
Oh, okay. Yeah, I think I remember that yeah, I've been a classic saying that's a common
common saying
Yeah, I
I honestly can't believe the boss hasn't been killed yet
Like they've gone through so clean with so many people alive only losing people like on the last little bit of the fight
and still just not enough this
Okay, is this perfectly tuned do we call this perfect tuning? I think the tuning on this is great
Yeah, for exactly Team Liquid, and no other guilds in the world potentially.
Yeah, that would be a while. Do you think there's a potential reset gap?
There might be.
That's too soon to say.
It is definitely too soon to say. I mean, I don't want to count out Echo or Method just yet,
but Liquid are in a position right now to slam the door shut on this boss with a commanding lead.
Yeah, I mean, they played incredibly well this entire tier, incredibly consistent, right?
right now we just need that that one extra that last hour and a half I guess
I mean that long that last pole consistency for one more pole yeah shave the
bosses health a little bit more it's basically dead I mean like it literally
is any full territory yeah and they're still energized as well they woke up at
9 30 today after an extra 30 minutes of sleep today I believe an extra hour of
sleep yesterday so it's not like they are gonna start deteriorating in
gameplay for many hours at this point oh this is just gonna be an
opportunity for back-to-back-to-back holes. I'm a little surprised to see them not
machine-getting out another bolt-timer here though. Yeah, I'm looking focused. I think
there's a, we have Scott on the other monitor, there's like a different look in
his eyes, ready. You know yesterday it was like man this boss seems so far off,
is it even doable, and now it's just like they're focused. It's done, it's
basically dead, they just need to secure it. Yeah, I mean we've seen a
couple minor tuning passes coming in yesterday but nothing really to the
boss health either. We thought they might have increased the duration of that
actual execute or rage channel, but it actually wasn't really even increased.
It seems like there's maybe five extra seconds before the between some part of
the enrage. I mean I don't know we hadn't seen that for when that hotfix got
pushed. So it's hard to say exactly what happened, but yeah this boss
definitely has not received nerfs at all in the scale of how much I thought it
might have needed to be killable this reset. It looked so hard after pull
200 after pull 250 and yet liquid have got it down now to a science even hitting
that 300 pole mark and seeing like late into that third phase with that five
accolades that must be committed at the wall the health that pulled the seemed
insurmountable at 15% wipes this is a boss found a way to do it it has it's
given you that feeling of how on earth are you supposed to handle this right
when we did the man on the five accolades that we were like hang on
That's 22 times that people have to carry the S-net.
And only 20 players are in the raid.
What are we going to do about that? Turns out the answer was tanks.
Tanks are good at it.
They take it every time.
Yep, tanks having me.
It doesn't stack.
Easy to, I guess, semi-easy to carry.
Renewing blades can be used on them.
Yep.
Very powerful, heal them up.
Yeah.
Yeah, even that last attempt, or the last good attempt,
they got through the acolytes with people dead, like nothing.
They made that part look so easy.
easy you know minus the people dying obviously I think they may be stepped
into some essences on the floor it's a little clustered but yeah it's the way
the damage they found impresses me I honestly don't know how they've done
it maybe that's just how unoptimized that last acolyte said has been but yeah
like ads are always easier optimized damage on than you think as well
because you know AOE optimizing and like making sure that you're not dumping
Global into something that's dying for free. So we have had a player code down here during phase one,
so that's going to cost them their battle res. It is a healer that died, so it's giving you
Pally wings, and all you had to do was lose a healer for a couple of Globals. Honestly, fully
optimized, actually. Good trade. Calculated geth, precise and tactical, yeah. Maybe you can
see Impact throw that onk in there, why not? Exactly. A little bit more value. Sure, yeah,
I mean, yeah. I guess someone will see what health it is after this push, but first they
have to do these froths. They are. This is the four set to get in their spots for the roots.
Bait the dash. They don't bait it as much. These little webs, it'll come out. But they do get them
a little bit away from the froths. Now they're going to step in and pop them one at a time.
Yeah, uptime maximization is an important thing for them as well here. Shaq,
fell rushing around. I can tell you, that will not look anywhere near as pretty when most
Steven Hummers do that, and they are Stemly-Felrash right into the middle of that thing, or right past it.
Yeah, a bit of a higher push here, 62.98, keep in mind you can shave about 0.6% off the boss' health here once this shield drops.
But a bit of a higher push, that's the real impossibility for a kill here, though, with higher RNG rolling that phase 3 DPS.
They've also mentioned even earlier, they're literally telling players to hold globals at that shield, let dots carry it through, and hit the boss the moment it's vulnerable again.
They've optimized every little bit of damage here.
Yeah, wow, they're so far ahead of this push on the shield.
Hopefully that means they can store up some big damage globals for that one or two seconds
that they get to do a little bit of extra damage at the end of this cast.
You can see they're slowing down a little bit, charging the cannons,
getting a big damage global ready. Let's see how much they can do. It was a 62.98,
and they're going to take it down to 62.32. So you know what?
This is still a high amount of health for the boss to have at this point in the fight,
but it is well within the range of killable. If they are perfect from here,
This boss is going to be dead by still quite a bit.
Yeah, I think so.
I mean, getting a full 20-minute raid of life for that final phase with LUS, not losing
any players in their Spymaster stacks, this Acolyte should disintegrate, this Tank add
should obliterate, be obliterated, and the boss should...
Now, I mean, when you...
It's just insane how much damage they have in that boss.
We didn't think they had in that initial phase 3 we saw.
It looked so precise that last pull.
Finding that last 1.7%, it's there somewhere.
Just got to find it.
Yeah.
He said that they were doing optimizations today. They didn't want to show yesterday on stream, and I guess it's right up
They have
Boomi he's on the arms warrior now instead of fury. I like that one
Yeah, and I think they're dragging the boss around to the different acolytes doing a little more
Cleave off the boss than they did before rather than like spread attacking them all around the room
Yeah, if all 20 players are alive
They really don't have to primary target the acolytes much at all by just moving it like that
Especially arms warrior does some really good to target in that sort of situation
That would also your enhancement shaman doing some nice cleave and fury and havoc also just kind of hitting for free
Whatever's next to it. Also your range GPS will be leaving either for free onto or off of the boss
Right, so moving the boss like that is definitely very good
The trick is making sure you're doing it in a way that everybody knows where it's gonna be
So you're not outranging your range that are maybe far away getting ready to pick up an essence or something
Yeah, see that both
We even see it like at the start of phase one during progression.
They've hyper-optimized damage around the straw pools from like pull 10 onwards, right?
So everyone's used to that optimization, that rotation of max damage in phase one, in phase two and three.
We do unfortunately lose a goop here with no, actually we got him up, he had a res, perfect.
So he's back up, we will not have a res heading into this phase three,
but 62.32 is what we're looking to burn through here.
Not the lowest, but not the highest either.
Close to the highest we've seen over the past hour, but you know.
You know, if you lose some, just lock in here in the boss die, right?
Exactly. Locking in is the most important thing for sure as they will get started in this last phase.
We've got Scott's POV here on that bear. He's been swapping around builds even up into these high 300 pull counts.
He's been changing things to try and make his life just a little bit easier.
I think he is largely bearing as one, as you might say, the responsibility here for keeping that druid buff in the raid.
But it has been looking pretty tough to do all of the jobs as a guardian druid on this fight.
Yeah, so we're going to be dragging the boss to the wall here.
This is that first drop of these small tank adds here.
They're keeping the boss super stacked here,
ringing a piece basically under the boss,
almost super close for that Max Frost DK warrior,
meat grinder, cleave.
Once again, like the Acolytes,
optimizing damage both on the boss and the adds,
losing as little as possible.
We have the three Acolytes sending from the ceiling here
with this actual web overlap,
which this sets the three set.
Not too bad.
When they die, they drop three essences in the ground,
which you need to carry through the Nova,
which don't despawn on mythic.
We have to carry 3, 7, 15, way too many.
Oh, impact. Goes down there.
It does have onc available.
All good. Not to worry.
Three wings for your red valley.
All part of the damage optimization here for Team Liquid.
We'll do Lijuraka here on Portion as well.
That's not part of the damage optimization.
It is not.
Very bad.
Bit of an odd portal there also.
It might have been Lijuraka's portal
when he died with it.
They have died with it.
That's on the marker.
So I think they actually want it there.
Oh, OK.
Interesting.
Maybe more DPS optimization.
We can keep heading along here a bit further.
Another player dead, another player Scott as well.
This is a jump.
All right, it's not going to be pole 391,
but you know what I've always said?
Well, 392 was the one I've had a really good
right about ever from the beat since the beginning.
Your prediction was just baiting us, right?
Basically?
What were predictions?
I've been on pole 392 the whole time.
Ever.
That's always been my number.
OK, got it.
Yes.
Yeah, we all call them crazy.
That's way too many poles.
That's true.
And then yesterday I was saying, that's way too few poles.
It does look like a 500. This looks like a boss that if you showed this to a
raster world first raider from even five years ago, their brain would explode.
Yeah, probably. They'd look at it and be like, this is a 20,000 pole encounter.
What are you talking about? I mean somehow they've managed to get this
thing almost dead. It's Queen Antiret, the hardest boss we've seen in
Mythic since like in recent times including Jailer, like all that kind
of stuff. I think in absolute terms it's the hardest end boss ever.
You said three nerf versions of bosses. Sure. Okay, you put it above Jailer. I would put it above
Yeah, I think that in relic like players have gotten a lot better since even the jailer the jailer that was in what three
Three years ago now. I don't want to hear that but probably yeah
that's
In that time the race world first has become even more competitive
Which is crazy because we were saying the same thing back in the jailers here
We were saying the exact same thing about you know, Nail Otha and Azoth those kind of things
I think it has I think these players are so incredibly skilled and the amount of analysis and prep work that goes into this has gone up
So much and it's still almost that 400-pole mark here
Yeah, that's the story of every wow expansion the last one was easy mode baby game
Yeah, exactly and the current one is harder now. We are really locked in yeah, I will say fire act phase three
I think was recent very tough. You're very hard base
And then Razageth of course had a lot of difficulty in those intermissions, but
That was artificial though when you know, yeah, there was three times as strong as it should have been
If we're not talking about the pre-nerf version
Yeah, obviously, right, yeah, I mean these guilds would get better and better every single tier
Like we talked about it earlier, if you put Echo or Limit, Echo or Liquid from last tier up against this current one
Alden didn't even be close, right? They just improved drastically every single tier, but I mean Blizzard matched them basically a pound for pound this tier
300 pullcage as a 120 brew twister like 180? So can court roughly. Basically 400 here.
Like the tuning on this boss for not needing help nerves and like super minuscule condemnation
nerves and such essences is actually really on point. It's especially impressive as well because
the overwhelming majority of these 391 pulls have come during the second reset rather than the
first reset, right? Remember reaching queen answer I capped at the very end of the first
reset. Historically, if you have an end boss that gets to a really high pole count, it's often because
you reach it early and then you need to just bash your head against it on the first reset
and then you kill it on the second reset because you get a big spike of gear, but it turns out
this is actually just tuned to be this difficult even with reset to gear. Many of us were thinking
earlier that this is maybe a boss that doesn't even get killed until reset three,
but now I don't think anybody thinks that anymore. No, it would be a disaster if that
that were the case. Yeah, it'd be a long few days, but there's just no way
there's so many poles that can be made before Tuesday. And yeah, I did not
expect this raid to be anything near this. I was gonna be, you know, 250 for the
end boss and everything else, you know, about average. But yeah, they have blown
me away with this, the tuning, this expansion. I love it. I'm so excited for
the race and the future. If they keep doing this every raid, if they keep
up in the bar like this, like, man, we're in for some great races in the future.
Alright, the ready check comes out, the feast goes down, and we are about to get started
with another poll. We are running ads on this channel, so if you don't want that to
potentially interfere with your watching of a world-first kill, now is the time to
send us your Twitch primes, or your not-prime regular Twitch subs.
Or your tier ones.
Or your tier ones.
Or your tier twos, your tier threes.
You don't get much more, but we got more money, so feel free.
Here comes the pole, 392.
392?
Cams is dead in less than 400 poles.
I think it is. What do you think?
Oh, is it dead in less than 40?
Yeah, I'm going to say yes.
I've switched.
You're a believer now?
I'm a pole poster.
I'm pulling. This is dead in my eyes right now.
It's already dead.
You've seen it already.
Yes, I've seen the future.
Got it.
I believe.
All right. I'm glad to hear it.
This is going down this pole being 3 and 2 as well, correct Rados?
Yeah.
This is your pole?
Confirmation, locking in.
You can't, you can't be doing this.
I've done locked them, I've done locked them.
I don't want to lock anything in, I want to be able to keep them alive.
OK, sure.
It might be this pole.
I'm going to soft lock in a prediction of 392, depending on how this pole goes.
OK, that works, I'll hold the key.
All right, thank you.
I'm going to hard lock in 3 and 5.
OK, 395 for Kalamazzi.
3 and 5.
Love that, what are we thinking?
Type some numbers in chat for the amount of poles you think this is going to take.
Man, I want to see I want to see a sub 60% phase one
I think that they I think that this is just from analysis of looking at this and they're looking at right
They're like, oh, there's probably needs 29 more poles. That makes sense
Yeah, I think that's the reason why so many intelligent chatters are landing on that particular bird
Individually, yes, I'd love to actually put his prediction 420 as well. I see
Annals weighing in I concur
I can see that for sure.
Any death on this pole is just for wings.
It's a tactical death.
Right.
This is the kill.
I mean 420 will be seen tonight, like you said, right?
Yeah, I think they have a prop this half.
Yes.
A little early prop.
Not great, so.
We're on lock-in direction.
Yeah, as I was saying, 393.
I've been on 393 for forever.
Yeah, me too.
I cannot stand the way he answers questions.
I love it, but I swear.
I've asked him like 10 questions just chilling back in the cast room. Oh, yeah, maybe possibly. Yeah, sure. Okay. Yeah, maybe yeah
We'll never give a direct answer on anything. That's right. It can't pin me down
You know what hey that you've never been wrong once in your life exactly
Mm-hmm all part of that we got to keep the street going all part of the plan. All right. Oh
Man
35
390, oh yeah, you're sticking to 395.
Yeah, phase one wipe, not great to see here.
One phase one wipe is fine.
Multiple phase one wipes and that might derail some of our momentum.
Right now I would say the momentum is still very much there.
We've been in P3, we've been deep in P3, we've been approaching that in range
in many of our last half hour hours worth of bowls.
But if we start wiping in P1, again like we did,
there's been two stretches of today that have featured a lot of P1 wipes.
If we can, if we take another one of those, that might erode the will to kind of stay up until this thing dies and it might instead move us to, okay, let's, let's, let's go to bed, wake up and kill this thing.
Sure. I mean, like, this is one of those angles where, I mean, a call like tonight can make or break a race, right?
That goes best, I believe, is around 25% right now, as far as a raw boss health goes.
It could be wrong depending on what version of the leaderboard have up here right now. I think it's around 25, but either way, going to bed now means you wake...
I mean, at normal time, about two hours here, means you wake up, rest in the full day tomorrow.
This boss is dead somewhere tomorrow.
Like, probably around lunchtime, I venture to say.
The question is, like, do you push later on tonight?
Yeah.
It hopes killing the boss if you get to 12.30, 1 a.m., or do you call it and say,
come back?
This is a boss you can't pull when you're super tired.
Sarkarath?
Maybe.
This boss?
Yeah.
A lot more moving parts in this fight.
Dude, the problem is, I don't know how you could sleep after this series of hurdles that they've had, right?
Like, if you're not gonna sleep anyways, then there's no way to become untired.
Yeah, I think so. Yeah, give or take. Actually, I know I can look and see how far we were exactly 24 hours ago. One of our partners Warcraft Vlogs has a 24 hours ago mode. There we go.
to a similar extent, method 27.1% also right behind Echo as far as both trends are concerned.
I believe they frogged later on into their night, comparatively, to Echo. Echo sure was
starting, actually, about an hour or so now, I believe, but this boss could be dead in
an hour.
So, 24 hours ago, we were at 15.2%. Echo was at 33.3%. Method were at 55.8%. So,
big progress coming in across the board. Method actually very close now to Echo
in the second and third slots.
Both guilds currently not in the raid, I believe,
but yeah, Echo should be in there sooner
because they go to bed earlier than Method currently.
Method have had their sleep schedule pushed back
by the incident on the reset.
I mean, they got the kill?
Yeah, it was worth it.
Incident.
Yeah, the consequences reverberate
across their sleep schedule for many days to come.
Perfect, there we go.
Yeah, I'm trying to think,
I've watched some of Echo's polls,
I think they've gotten to the end of the fight,
But maybe not at the boss is still at high. I'm not sure if they've beaten the five acolyte set yet
Okay, I would venture against the answers. No at 25%
But it's right around the point where they spawn yeah, and the you know liquid have taken a lot of polls to go from 25 to
One right, but if you're a liquid player you can never feel good about
Going to bed and leaving the opportunity for echo to do that because it has happened in the past
They have this uncanny ability to rip off progression, progression, progression in order.
We've seen it on Jailor, they hit that secret phase, four banger pulls back to back to back to the ball side.
Also at the same time, if you're Echo War Method, any guild in the race here,
Liquid has done some of the heavy lifting by mapping out what to do in that final phase.
So that 25% could easily be that 10% pull for Echo.
Realistically, probably almost any pull territory for that 10% from them, right?
So you've got to keep that in mind. I'm sure it's in the back of the mind as well.
well but at the same time can't let that encroach upon my thoughts now just to the
boss right here to the boss you don't want to be liquid waking up and seeing
like a 5% they want to wake up tomorrow or if it goes to tomorrow they want to
have like that like they don't want that on their mind they just want yeah only
their own performance let's just kill this thing it is so hard to because you
almost always do better if you don't know what's going on with the other
teams but you also can't stop yourself from knowing right like yeah I think
try it before but it doesn't work yeah I believe they banned looking at all kind
of internet talk of this game but it sneaks through yeah it's almost impossible
to avoid yeah especially the leaderboard is around yeah screens of this building
we've been in a commanding a significant lead to command and lead a
certain points in this race I mean for the entire race right essentially just
all we have to do is execute this one final poll we need in the Stars Align to
kill this boss you've gotten this far playing this well all we need is that
one final pull all right here we go how much are they going to be able to get
the boss down in this bush it's going to be sub 62 not by much 61.89 I would say
on the medium to high end of boss HP at this point given how well they've been
doing over the past few hours but very much in the kill war range not something
to worry about it isn't one of those numbers though like 60.89 where that
would energize them and make them think like okay this boss is super dead
set up in your chair let's go right exactly yeah this is this is one of
This is, you know, a bread and butter run-of-the-mill poll, but any of those voles now could turn into the kill if they
execute what they know they have to do and what they know they can do in the later phases.
Yep, heading into phase two here with one battle res available. We had the entire rate up.
Living boom, we're dropping pretty low here. We're actually okay for right now. This first platform here not being the very challenging part up
phase two. The hard part isn't that second platform spawns in. We're gonna see these webs spawning about now.
We're dipping pretty low here. Can we actually beat the webs we do by activating that bridge across?
This is the part of the platform in Phase 2 that's most challenging.
You have this shield of AD with this cast.
Needs to be interrupted.
We also have two acolytes ascending from the ceiling right now with these pull-ins
in a very little amount of room to actually move around here with that spell coming in.
They rip here as well, and that portal's off in the back.
Thankfully, we're going to break this shield right about now in the ad.
It does indeed go down.
Both acolytes also being cleaved here as well.
We just need to keep dropping pretty low.
We've got the spell in the back. We're okay.
We're going to bait this beam to one final pull as long as Dupin T.S.E. lived through here, but she has a pretty clean second platform.
Ooh, that looks like a portal explosion there.
Unfortunate, that's going to kill everybody off very quickly.
And that's going to end up killing everybody on this side pretty soon as well.
Alright, that's okay. It wasn't a great percent anyways, you know what?
Let's throw it back and let's try and get a lower percent push.
Anyways, that'll be more fun.
Yeah, I want to see a sub-60.
Yeah, I didn't want this one anyway.
Also, this puts it at that number you've been predicting.
Yes, exactly.
As I've been saying since the start, 394.
Oh, right.
Yes, very true.
Yes.
Exactly.
You're just wiping to get to your number, Drano.
They're just sandbagging for your prediction.
It's actually getting close to yours, 395.
It is indeed.
That wasn't that your number as well?
It's going to be both of ours.
Right.
Yes.
OK.
That makes sense.
Check that out.
Sounds good.
Makes sense.
I'm feeling left out.
OK.
I'm taking a picture.
I already predicted many times.
I was it again?
391.
Oh, well, that's a chocolate.
I'm trying to do it.
any time you go past your prediction you have to make a new one
oh oh okay that's how this works
I'll just do a nice 400
okay not the smartest one
the smartest one
you can make whatever makes you want
it's uh you're a free american you can do what you want
all right
all right
yeah fair enough
and if it's not that then it's 420
yeah it's a good number
and yes money
chat's urgent prediction
not that it's 469
yep
and then five
Five. Oh, well five might have surpassed us about a couple days ago camp.
No, five hundo.
Oh, okay, got to clarify here in these late hours camps.
Precision is important.
Yes.
That's three.
Horns chicken clouding your mind.
Oh, that's a spicy chicken, which is very good.
I didn't finish my meal.
We'll finish the other half on break at some point, but...
Probably have like 392 pieces of chicken this race.
I mean, listen man, I've had some pretty good food here from Chef Heidi.
I was a little hungry tonight, ordered a little bit of extra food on the side, you know, maybe a little bit of fuel to carry us into the night for this kill, but realistically, we might not even need it.
If boss could die any pull, I cracked it and about half an hour ago.
Cam, do you got one over there?
No, I've had two monsters, a Boba, and a lot of water today. I'm very energized, my heart's like I'm a little shaky.
Look at me.
I'm tracing from that low pull. Yeah, you're shaking quite hard. That's what I'm saying, a couple percent numbers that they reached a little bit ago.
I got the shakes for that, Kaz. I'm locked in.
Six monsters deep. You see the spine? Look at this.
Got a problem right now.
Very happy that I'm not playing with my jittery hands.
Accidentally running an essence into the Nova.
Yeah, Kaz. I mean, you were a part of Limit for a long time. Now, Liquid.
Would you want to be on the sponsor pressure-wise camps?
No. I am very happy to not be on multiple hundred full bosses anymore.
Very nice. It is grueling. I'm getting old.
This is the part that you live for, though, right? This is...
You're in the trenches for like four weeks farming reputation, doing all your characters,
you go through, you do your heroic splits, you progress these bosses, and it's all so
you can get to this point where you're working on this boss when you know you can kill it.
You're just trying to put all these pieces together.
Not just you, but 19 of your best buds.
Yeah, and it does feel so satisfying when you made something that was so difficult,
just like routine, and it just kind of happens almost automatically.
Everybody running to the same positions.
They look so choreographed and smooth, but it's a lot of work and pain to get there.
Yeah, I mean if you're standing even a couple of pixels off to the side, you're going to
die in most of these phases, and yet all 20 players in coordinated fashion doing exactly
what they're supposed to do.
That damage is so much even with those weapons coming in.
Yeah, this is one of those fights where if you do it properly, you go to 10% health,
and if you do it wrong, you die.
It's kind of messed up in that way.
A lot of fights just here at that time.
Well, I guess 10% would be the first one, Kaibess, but hey, you know, basically the same thing here as well.
What happens if he's just killing you?
If the Kaibess passive was active on this fight, I don't know when it would be killable.
It wouldn't be this week and it probably wouldn't be next.
Well, when most things one-shot, you would essentially is active on this fight, in a sense, right?
Yeah, you know?
Well, speaking of one-shots here, we have the final four froths filling out.
As long as we can pop all these without...
Ooh, that was actually a...
I don't like demon hunter POVs.
I thought he could get the extra four off and pop them.
We do this exile here, we have one res available, we can indeed get him up here.
Should indeed...
Sort of a low push from the boss here as well, but like pre-shield, 62 point.
Ooh, there is Nick.
We've lost Nick as well. I think they're gonna end up just running into the middle of the boss here.
Just jump it, we're gonna go in here.
That is exactly the call being made.
Alright, not great.
These P1, P2 mishaps are not good at all.
That's three pulls now where we haven't seen P3
after a string of incredibly deep Phase 3 progression pulls.
They've got a lock back in.
Yeah, just a testament to how difficult this fight is.
Even though they make those phases look easy.
It's just one, like you're saying, just one pixel off.
Boom, you're dead. Or Raid's dead.
Or you cleave a friend. Anything can go wrong.
Yeah, so much damage.
There was one point they cut to fire it up to POV when they went into intermission.
And just every single one of those cooldowns, like underneath his play frame, were just used.
They're using everything.
Yeah, they have that note assigned.
Everything's going on cooldown, basically on cooldown, covering everything.
It requires every single piece of utility, every single piece of defensive kit that these classes and specs have.
Yeah, even movement abilities, time spirals, everything is on cooldown at all times.
Time spiral, one of the most powerful parts of the evoker kit, yeah.
Putting aside renewing blaze.
Renewing blaze has been incredibly powerful.
Renewing blaze is different this year.
I'm feeling it won't be the same effect next year, to some extent.
Yeah, the flame-shaper hero talentry that lets you give another player a renewing blaze at 50% effectiveness
Going on those tanks when they're taking, you know, 50 million damage over the duration of the renewing blaze
And so it ends up being like a one global 25 million health
That is certainly not the most reasonable thing ever when you also consider that it's also giving you renewing blaze in a time where you're taking damage
It's seen a lot of play this year on this fight on Kavesa even a bit on Root Twister for that
just I mean evoker's been strong in general this tier whether it's been
devastation or preservation not a full augmentation this tier which is surprise
me as well yeah I was thinking okay Augs usually like it seems like you just
want to forever and a lot of guilds played to do a lot of the fights liquid
have been basically on the no odd train kind of the entire tier they played
them on a few fights but not much they've mostly been on the devastation
train I think we had one on Brew Twister for that death night frost
like the frosty cave damage.
Yeah, they work best on a fight like Brute Twister where you're buffing people that are
extremely good at a job at a certain time.
They also work really well when you want to give your tanks armor, which can be nice on
a fight like Brute Twister where a lot of your issues are tanks getting killed.
This fight is also beating up the tanks, but often in a way that armor ain't going
to help with.
Not very much for a 10 million tech giver tank, depending on mitigation, right, with
essences.
All right, Cams, this is actually your pull, right?
Oh, this is Dranas' pull.
Dranas' pull.
Yes, perfect. You missed your Q-drag. That's 304. All right. Well, you know, that's always been my my guess. Mmm. All right, well, I'm confirm
I like it
Like all right, we are indeed getting into this second part of phase two phase one here
So I mean the biggest thing in this phase optimizing DPS
We talked about it a good bit
You can even see them pulling the boss way back into the web pools here like in a moment dropping these froths here
Putting the boss right against the edge so melee can drop those pools while still leaving the actual boss
not even like having to stop by putting the froth up against the webs here the next move here is going to be the
4th froth coming up in about
Half a minute give or take the boss going to be dragged a bit all the way back in these webs and fell pools and the ground before
It's moved to optimize as much room as possible for the web drops as well as those four froths and then we're looking for a threshold
Realistically a great push would be anywhere about
61.8 give or take on the boss before she jumps to the shield now
Yeah, about half a percent to point six after that shield breaks before she runs away a little bit of RP time, a little bit of hidden milk, works out, works out.
Yeah, I wonder who made the call to hold everything to cast into her, like, rise the shield, falls off.
It's like such a funny small little optimization, but we're seeing just how much they need to do to squeeze out any damage they can find.
It's actually one of the fun parts of these fights as well, right?
You do it on Firehack as well where you're waiting, you're waiting, and then you go and you try and burn the boss for an extra second or two while it's casting.
And it's just one of those little ways that you can sort of try and do as much as possible.
It can be fun to see just how much that is in a single global or two.
Yeah.
Alright.
Boss jumps to the middle.
It's a little bit high as of right now where they have a couple of seconds before this cast goes out.
63 flat.
It's definitely not great.
Best push we've seen, we're expecting probably about 62.5 coming out of the shield.
I think it lowered the 0.5.
Okay, alright, I mean hey.
62.2 if they hold everything.
62.2, alright, well, see you later.
They are behind the check right now, which is not good news for me because if you're
behind on the damage check, then you probably have to commit a little bit more to get through it.
There are a few Globals that they kind of have as an option to send from like mages and DHS,
whether they want to send them on the shield or after.
Looks like they are now a bit ahead of that check.
Yep, just ahead of that third pull in.
Yep, just ahead of that third pull in.
Should be a little, a nice little bit here actually
when we're crewing power for the actual burn phase here.
About two seconds out of that rush.
Okay, see what they can burn to here.
So here we go.
Big damn, big damn.
62.29.
All right, so 0.7% give or take.
Not the best push, not the worst.
But still going back to phase three
is to go all this fight or this pull.
And I mean, I'm not gonna jinx it.
We got one res available here.
Going into phase two.
Please don't die, I want to say that.
I mean, it's true, right?
Yeah, it's very true, very true indeed.
That's one of the best reasons to have a rep alley in the raid,
is you start to have a good excuse for anybody dying.
Yeah, thanks for the wings. Appreciate it, man.
Thank you very much. Manic Grief Torch did great for that last game.
It gets you Grief Torch. Oh yeah, that was my thing.
We do indeed see the phase two transition here,
baiting that beam to one side.
Both these adds here are pretty elementary at this point.
The biggest thing in this platform we've seen people die to,
mainly Scott actually, has this second set of grips coming in here.
This first one is fine. You just get pulled. No big deal while fading the beam.
The second set here, when you get targeted with those webs, you can activate the two pylons here,
which you can do it early as well, which will indeed interrupt that web pull,
as long as you beat the actual damage check there being two ads. We did. We're good. Moving along.
This is the platform that has problems.
I love how Yitzch just still has the Belladar Shadow time tracker on his screen.
After 395 pulls of this boss, just gotta make sure we know when the next Belladar Shadow spawn is.
Maniculture yeah farming. Yeah see a problem sort of that
There's that grip transcendence used to cancel that momentum
They're gonna be able to finish out the ads on this side get that gateway activated
And up they go to the final part of P2. We now have two battle res is available. This is very good
Yeah, there's is you don't necessarily need them, but they are really nice in P3
One of the problems is, if you do need to use a B-Res, it'll likely be during Lust and Spymasters'
repos on the casters, and so even if you do res them, they've lost all of that, and they've lost their CDs,
and that often will mean the boss is not going to be killable with this level of tuning.
Yeah, like I mentioned, the boss being a little high here at 62.3, but at the same time, like we also said, there's two better ress available here.
We've seen them have good burns on the actual boss here in this phase three intermission with their Hergistan and their RPing a bit.
Let's see how low we can get it here. I believe 54th we seem roughly give or take.
Now let's see what that ends up being this time after this.
Is that aphotic communion cast?
What does aphotic mean? Let's find out.
Not sure, but the players get into position.
They're gonna drop swirlies after the boss jumps down.
Then they deal with the hatchlings.
They are gonna get the boss.
Good D6 about right when it did.
Okay, nothing lowest we've seen. We're not the highest either.
Dragging the boss through the horn here.
We're gonna have this first set of hatchlings spawning behind the boss.
which is tanked basically on top of the boss itself,
committing that ring of peace right about now,
keeping the adds away from the boss,
enough time to burn them down with A.E.E. as well as main...
Look at the background, or the B.Core on the impact screen.
Focus add.
It said focus boss than focus add.
It literally alternates where he can focus damage,
trying to get max value on this fight as much as possible.
Hatch into that here, moving around.
The first, Acolyte sets also down those three adds.
The burning here will drop three essences on the floor,
which need to be picked up and brought to this Nova,
or they will indeed wipe.
One is dead, two is falling momentarily, and three I believe is falling just about now as well, Dreadnose.
Yeah, let's see if Impact gets to kick this one as well.
There's a Shaman talent where you get a huge DR against the school of whatever you've kicked.
And that is really big during this phase, Impact.
He's able to get some resistance against Shadow damage, a very common damage type in this phase.
Now spread after this portal, Impact.
In the danger zone there, close to that gloom on the ground with nowhere to spread to the other side.
But he is able to dodge those orbs.
They now are going to be dropping those three essences off behind the boss. Those are permanent
They will need to be brought through the remaining novus as well or else it will be a wife
Yeah, very much so approaching the four acolytes plus royal condemnation overlap here
This one is perhaps dying. Hopefully for free to this cleave. They're getting stunned
But unfortunately, they're not dead in the stun
So we do need to keep them away from the boss here for a little longer
Looks like they're able to do it into the AMZ now away from where those shackles are dropping the three players dropping those shackles
Getting external so that they can survive the massive falloff damage that those do
Everything now getting cleaved down
Yeah, second that yeah, you notice here
They're actually stacking the boss or second those webs on top of the four acolytes here
We put it on circle now on skull moving along is getting max leaving the boss here
We're gonna see that fourth acolyte. I guess third acolyte falling momentarily
We have to have all four dead before it's actually when Nova begins, which looks to be just about now that one...
Now one second, that cast is going to start. We need to have them dead before the boss jumps to the middle, which they are.
Now we need all of these essences to be taken and brought through the portal.
Rescue Renewing Blaze is going to be used by Nick here.
The Renewing Blaze, as a Flameshaper evoker, is going to let him apply it to the closest target, which is Bean Baker there.
Scott on that Guardian Druid getting a huge external effect out of that Renewing Blaze.
Dropping all of their essences now in this huge puddle behind the group those will all need to get picked up later
But here comes the next set of shackles getting cleaved down under the boss. Yeah, big thing here
Nobody went down there which has been a choke point for them in the past
We're dropping hatching through the boss here ring of peace being committed here as well to keep them away
This is where the fight gets intense
We're gonna have these lions and coming here quickly followed by shackles which just puts an insane amount of damage out of the raid
We're also gonna see lust committed here momentarily for these five
No, Hatchling made it into the boss.
One of them snuck by, I guess. They all looked like they were back there.
That is so tough. They were holding their lust as well.
They were going to absolutely decimate that boss once that lust got hit.
If that Hatchling didn't get into the boss though, it would have been dead probably.
I mean, there were still a lot of hard parts at the end of the fight.
There was. We've seen them lusting that Hatchling set earlier on the day there.
They've moved it back like 5 seconds or just even more bossed it.
That's right. We had all 20 live mechs by masters ready to go. That's unfortunate, but same time the boss could be lower
We're just going in for my poke at 355 like you and I have always been saying yes, right? We came to this facility
We're like, you know what?
395 that's our number. Yeah, yeah, I know says not stop talking about it. I have been I've been
Yep, they call me a 395 had I've been I've been posting about 395
You know on Twitter
Discord man, I think they even had all their reses at that point
They did they had all their reses they had lush ready to pop they had spymasters web fully stacked on all of their players
The cannon was loaded the fuse was lit, but alas
The uh the cannonball was dropped. I don't even know how one got through they were all stacked there stunned
Yeah, I missed how it's not through and yeah, they're just gonna pull again. That was an incredible pull
I like how they there's being more controlled about the condemnations
You'll hear Max call like run back, run back, like they get really far away because they lose a lot of people there even after the nerf.
That part is very deadly and they've lined up with so many other deadly mechanics and they've kind of got that down.
It used to kill people every time and now it just gets people to like 1% HP.
But they squeak by.
Yeah, it's still an insane amount of ray damage coming at that point, but they're getting back to that point.
They're honestly getting to that point so consistently like yeah, I guess like no one even dies in the first part of phase three anymore
Like very very rarely. They've seen it enough. It's just that third accolade set
I feel like phase three is less lethal than phase two even at this point
Yeah, I do a very end of it when it becomes just completely unreasonable
But they only need to get through that part of the fight once and they'll be able to kill it
It could be any pole and you don't want to miss it if you catch any twitch ads
You're gonna feel pretty sad, so throw them primes.
Throw them primes available or not.
Either way, make sure you send a sub over to our Twitch channel
so that you do not get those ads during the World First Kill
that is certainly gonna be pull 395, as I've always said, from the beginning.
We are gonna be watching intently, once again, the boss HP check
coming out of that intermission, going into that second phase.
Just how low can they get it? 1.76% their best a little over a half hour ago
Will they be able to top that?
This was almost an hour ago now, like it's kind of flying. He's pinging himself. He's stuck, he's stuck way in the back.
Oh, no. Oh, this is gonna be a massive damage loss in the actual boss.
It's not good. He gets the guardian spirit here, he's able to charge back into the boss.
This is gonna affect the damage in the push though, a decent bit. You know what?
This is the kind of thing though where you're like, okay, this can be really funny if this is in the kill bit.
Yeah, okay, this is the kill.
Exactly.
This is gonna be the kill for me, 100%.
He's smiling and laughing.
Yeah, that's good.
Those things can energize you.
Yeah, vibe's still high.
I mean, about an hour and a half left
in normal raid time here as well,
but this being pulled around into five,
we can just simply kill it here.
Looking for that sub 61% push,
or sub 62% push heading into their mission here,
but before we get there,
we're gonna have another set of frosts coming in here.
Daisy does go down, unfortunately,
if we're res here, that actual death
does not increase right damage.
That's the only person who could die in the raid
without giving days or wings.
Very unfortunate, sandbagging for the actual meters here,
it's okay, respectful, don't nerf the next patch.
We're gonna have this set of froths coming in
after this web overlap here.
If we can make it to this force
that with nobody else dying,
so we're super low here, she goes,
well, we should be seeing, no, we're still in a jump.
It might have been an angel form.
It's a go again angle.
So, just to clarify, we didn't hit the shield there.
So that doesn't count as a pull.
So this pull is the one we're thinking of
as the kill coming in.
I hit gas 395 wipes, not 395 poles.
Me too, that's what I'm saying, yeah.
Because those don't count right.
So PAMs.
I don't know where you're at with this, but.
I'm still at 400.
OK.
Yeah, locked into 400.
Right.
As long as you're locked into something,
that's what's important here.
Being locked in is a facility-wide requirement here.
Yeah.
We're a training facility.
I'd say meme is a tier.
Yeah.
I think the W and Type-Shia.
Type-Shia, that's a big one.
Yeah.
Yeah, but the amount of times I've heard lock-in in the last couple weeks, that's a lot.
Turn that sucker around.
That's all we gotta do, we gotta lock in one more pull here.
This boss is basically dead.
Turn the sucker around.
Yeah, turn the sucker around one more time.
Let's go to the boss.
Let's go.
Turn that boss around.
All right.
Echo as well.
I've re-entered the raid.
Ooh.
Got a new best pull as well.
Ooh.
I believe it's on 9% on boss HP.
I believe it's 19% on the boss roughly.
That's the other duration tracker, but yeah, I mean that's an early pull for
them in their day.
They have a full day that they are just starting on this boss lower. They get it
The less willing liquid will be to go to sleep. Yeah
If we end in here no stress
Let's keep the stress at all time lower. I guess you take that a little bit actually lock in here
They eat some furlies and just kill the boss
It would be bad if we had a few hours of both streams being super low again tapping
But I'd be great, you know getting those those extremely deep holes
like we had on Firehack. Yeah. I mean we have an hour and a half or so they've
gone to about 12 to 30 most nights which is only 10 30. They're gonna go late, they're
they're gonna go until this dies tonight I think. I mean optimally you want to kill
this within your normal a lot of time frame so you can just not become not get
tired. This is one of those bosses where Sarkaroth a little bit here and
there we can come back a little early isn't the end of the world if you're
a little tired. This boss mechanically one little mishap spell disaster.
You need basically a perfect pull here with this DPS check to kill this
boss right? Yes, Sarkaroth is a good example of a boss that didn't really have a DPS check.
Yeah. You made it to the end of that boss fight, you executed the fight cleanly, you had 20 people
alive, and it would die the first time you met those conditions. Yeah, this fight, not that.
Not at all. Every single thing. Max by Master is lusting pop properly. Every single optimization in
phase one, in phase two, and in phase three all to a line. Being webbed like big poppy might
not be where you want to be, but at the same time Spirit II seems sort of high, still. Pretty
high. I mean, morale seems to tend to still laughing a little bit, but they all know they're here to
a job and that job can be it's a complete in a pool here. Yeah it's funny I was
talking to you earlier today Colombozzy it was that like 10% wipe I was like any
other boss that boss would have been dead. Yeah they got through basically
everybody alive till the end and if you deaths here and there like any other
end boss it would have been GG end of race but this Queen answer act is
something special I mean we've just been watching them min max their damage
for days now for hundreds of poles yeah I've been eking out just a
percent here and there. Some people thought it wasn't possible. I don't know who they were,
but they have found a way somehow. Very impressed. It's actually crazy.
I mean, Max said last night, we don't want this boss nerfed until we know that it is
literally impossible to do. I mean, that's not what it was exactly. Yeah, they know
it's possible, right? Don't touch the boss until we know it's literally impossible.
Look at how, look at how Kivesi was handled. They found a way to one tank that, that
boss, squeeze out every little bit of DPS. They've done the same here. I'll beat
with two tanks, but finding multiple ways, multiple avenues to find .1, .2% DPS by shifting
minor things around portal placement in Phase 3, webs in Phase 1, people dying in Phase 1,
feeding their opponents, popping up part of the strategy, but you know what, in the long
run it might work out.
Looking for that fourth set up for us coming in here, it's locked back in a little bit,
one and two being popped right now.
The push we're looking for on this boss heading into the shield optimally, you
want to see about 62, somewhere in that range, 63.8, 63.87.
Okay, this should be roughly a 62% push into phase two, not the lowest, but not the highest.
Better than a few poles ago we had getting into that phase three.
Yeah, it's definitely still doable with this, although you can see they're actually in some
danger of not beating the intermission timer, signified by that weak aura near the middle
top of the screen right now.
That blue bar has to beat the red line in reaching the far left of that bar or
else they will be wiping.
Now they've built a little bit of a comfortable lead over it, but hopefully they can save
some damage globals to send into the boss as well that would be ideal so I can
get a little bit more of that extremely relevant boss damage that matters
throughout the entire fight here. Alright let's charge the cannon, what can we get to here 62.76 being
the number we're pushing from 62.2? Point one. 62.2, not bad.
Got a .75 burn, once again not the best, not the worst.
They've only seen sub-6-1 a couple of times. Very rare, very powerful, special push.
It's just impact hot hands. It's got a high roll phase one.
Exactly.
We have a sensor a high roll phase one. They were coming out of this at the entire rate of life.
No battle rest being committed yet into that phase two.
We talked about phase two a good bit already.
This first platform not being incredibly demanding, barring those double pulls in from the boss,
baiting the beams properly. A lot of ways to die, but seeing it 200 plus pulls at this point,
It's become relatively elementary. I don't want to jinx it here. Scott, please. Thank you. Okay. All right. Rescue back. Yeah, that rescue is part of the plan.
It's sketchy, but it is part of the plan so that he can tank this Guardian close to that inner edge of the platform, allowing it to be cleaved down along with the expeller.
Oh, the raid's so low here. It's falling on that bridge. Just in time to beat that pull-in. This is the part of A2 that is hard.
You're going to have that shielded out up here. The other adn he has both to be cleaved down.
At the same time, two spiders also ascend from the ceiling, which needs to be kicked.
At the same time, we're doing portal swaps, getting pulled in, getting a dispel,
baiting the beam.
Getting through here, and bring this side of relief.
Let's pray everybody stays alive here.
We have two res available now.
We shouldn't need them.
We play optimally here.
We have one portal swaps going off back there with the dispel.
Both spiders are dead.
We are going to have one final pull in at this point,
with the beam being baited down the middle.
bait it through.
All good.
Now we will be clicking up into the final pathway of this bays.
Bunch of skidderlings needing to be picked up here.
By Scott, these ones aren't pretty annoying on the bear as well. They stack up a, uh, venomous fangs debuff,
Acoustic fangs that increases your damage taken from all sources.
Unlike Monk, you don't have like a ring of beasts to just keep them off of you.
You don't have a stun. You don't want to spend any goblins stopping them from being on top of you.
So you do end up just getting beat up by those adds and by all the damage in this phase.
As a result, looks like Scott though is going to be healthy enough coming out of this phase.
He'll be starting off on 3.
Get Queen's Mandate ready to fire at some point in the near future here, optimizing boss damage.
Coming over at 60%, last pull being 66, I believe, coming out of the spur, and let's see how long they can get it here.
Two better resins available, basically near perfection up to this point.
If they can execute Drent, this could actually be a kill.
Any pull that meets these conditions of reaching it to phase 3, ideally with resins alive,
but honestly as long as we've just got 20 alive, it could be the kill, so this is potentially it.
They've got to play like it could be as well moving the boss into position for this first overlap of tank mechanics
We'll see as precise of a ring of these here as possible
Keeping those spiders from getting into the boss, but also not putting them too far away
So they can get cleaved down by all of this damage without having anybody have to actually swap off onto them
If they wanted to they could kill those adds much more quickly much more safely
But doing that would be a DPS loss on the boss and we cannot afford any of those right now
We lose Nick here in fortune get two reds available right now. He's right back up this triple acolyte set here
Not the most threatening, but they do indeed drop those three essences which need to be carried through this Nova coming up momentarily
One is dead two is that burning number three here should be dying pretty quickly here as well getting into that essence drop with that Nova coming up
momentarily both portals have already been dropped one near the back edge of the room there here comes that Nova grab your essences jump to the
Portal a little bit of max damage here hop over boomy actually leaping over the portal there, which is good
It spawns less circles to spread out with less rate damage overall a bit more damage from the healers also
Yeah, it's actually incredible to me that the warriors can do that. It doesn't look like something you should be able to leap over and yet it is
Makes it nice and safe and a little bit easier again on the entire raid here comes the next set of tank mechanics
This is going to be hatchlings into Royal condemnation shackles and four of those acolytes as well
We aren't yet into that lust set
You do still need to be doing good boss damage as there are so many of these webblades in melee,
but they've all moved through the boss beautifully after that bait comes out.
Those three Shackle players going forward onto the next Acolyte, the rest of the raid back inside this AMZ.
Sketchy, lots of raid damage, but they are going to be okay.
Yep, those Convmations R&D broken here. This Quad Acolyte's head is down now.
Decent bit of raid damage coming in here with that Web of Spray.
We have, I believe, one dying at X now, roughly burning through Skull as well.
Heading over to Circle, maximizing boss damage.
It looks so good, it looks awesome actually.
The one across the road I think still is up on that range kick.
Yeah, THD usually goes back there and just finishes that thing off, blasting into it on
that destroy log.
All of our sensors are now down.
So these need to be picked up along with the three essences from the first set.
Seven players now carrying those essences through this portal.
Recruits down, began to recoup before this, after this wave actually most likely
jumping across here.
Getting this res once the spread is out, we have no res left available for us to
We shouldn't need them, we can all survive long enough here.
He might need to wait for this combination to finish with this incoming raid damage.
We're gonna wait till after that and then...
Oh no, now we've lost Boomi as well.
Our two warriors are down.
Our arms warrior is gonna stay down.
Our fury warrior coming back up.
That's a lot of execute damage we've just lost there.
We'll be able to get him back up in 40 seconds from now.
Maybe relust for him.
He probably will still have CDs.
So it might still be recoverable, but now we've lost Renako on the mage as well.
And that is a fully stacked spymasters that is going into the ground.
Warriors both dead currently to so we only can rest one of these three the damage check is going to be so intense
But they can still maybe do this lost being committed early here on the as their lessons are rolling at this point
We have five acolytes bonding in here a lot of rate damage coming as well with those condemnations
We're able to heal through it
We have three DPS dead here if we can beat these five acolytes
We can see the Nova again and see how low we can get this boss. It's already at
19% Spymatch is fully cranking here also dead as well now
One of their preservokers. That's one that does so much healing as they get those 12 essences through that portal
And now with this many players that we're gonna start running into a problem
Or we just don't have enough people to carry these essences
I think there's not really much of a way they can do it from here
But this was such a promising pole up until about a minute ago. It was so low
I don't have a good gauge of how low it should be at that point in the fight
But I feel like that was much lower than we've seen
Yeah, let's see if they can actually do these essences, even with these players dead.
Looks like they tried, but they failed to bring all 12 of them through that nova.
That is going to be a 14.74%.
But you know what?
Any pull over the 9 minute marker, I think is going to be great at keeping them warmed
up on this last phase.
Yeah, we know that 10 minute marker is basically that hard arrangement to fight, giving
you about 3 seconds to leave and kill that boss there.
If you have the entire 20 rated live there, that boss is still super low with that
push at roughly 62 coming out of phase one and that I believe it was 55.5 roughly going
into phase three after that like that hanging intermission burn there. The damage, they have
the damage. If everybody's alive, we don't lose anybody, we have the damage. Two better
res is going into that phase. You don't want to use either essentially, but we have the
damage. The problem is that if you lose a warrior early on, if you lose anybody
early on, it's snowball so fast with those hatchlings coming in.
Dude, look at this absolutely tragic happening here.
They don't have a soul stone, so they're going to have to actually fly back and rez.
Maybe, oh no, no, Zevi was also alive inside there, so maybe he had a soul stone and hadn't noticed it or something,
and Nick is just flying back now to rejoin the rest of his raid.
That's always such a, such a tilter, right, when you're all dead after a great pull and you don't have that soul stone set up.
Just one of many ways that Warlocks can yet yell that.
Just taking in the raid one final time before we kill it here. On our predicted pull-out right now, it's 397.
That's right. I've always been saying that 397 was going to be it.
Lock in chat. This is the pull. This is the one Dretna was called. Last pull actually.
This one. They know they're going to kill it on. 100%.
And also a couple weeks ago.
Yep.
Yes, he hit me on the plane when we landed. He said, we're going to kill this boss and pull out 397.
I can pull it up and show you if you want. Just believe me.
I would never lie to you.
Or chat.
Mm-hmm.
It's over. CasterCursed, wipe it up, says Chat. Maybe that's the problem. We're CasterCursed
cursing every single pole by updating, I mean, because I predicted this number all along.
Right.
Oh yeah, the guild is just ensuring the prophecy comes true.
That could be it. Oh, I thought Nick had gotten up for a second there, but no, he
just bent down.
Get the blood flowing a little bit, no problem there.
Do you have one player not accepting the rez, so possible bathroom angle?
Maybe monster angle, maybe they're committing to going into the night.
Getting ready to get as late as we need to go for this boss to die perhaps.
Yeah, they're over 12 hours into their raid day.
The mental fatigue, they're fighting off, but I think-
I think you're energized after that 1.7.
Yeah, I think that kick started every adrenaline system in their body.
Alright, the channel point prediction goes up.
Does this boss die before pull 400?
On the honor code all in your points. Do not do anything less than all in whatever you're predicting
Well, you threw it all in right yeah, you always got all in yeah, I always all the everywhere
I got me to come on. I have more than a million points in Ben channel now. How many points in my channel do you have dress?
How many do you get per minute watching?
Okay, one or two. Okay. I probably have about 10
Nice all those rage game you're at
Those five rates over the last five years bad enough nice by accident
I missed trying to click on different streamers on the channel.
I appreciate it regardless.
It's very heartfelt.
I'm sure I have more than 10, at least 50 or so.
Alright, here we go.
Next full underway.
Phase one, we are very much hoping to avoid any wipes here, but we are also trying
to optimize our damage.
Those two goals are somewhat, there's some tension between them, right?
Because the things you could do that would make you least likely to wipe are also things
that cost you damage in some cases.
So you have to be greedy while also not getting punished for it.
Yeah, that's what we're talking about.
I mean, we're 400 poles in here.
We've seen phase one basically 400 times, right?
Players can find tiny little miniscule ways to get an extra cast in.
Maybe you can get a cast in before these swarovs come out your feet.
You learn that just naturally, subliminally over like the 400-ish poles you have in
these phases.
that you haven't seen that those overlaps or that phase three as much so it was all
even in the middle of the day here they might have gotten the phase three of 18
alive but they're still pushing through trying to see those minuscule little I
guess optimizations they can get at but we've seen it in phase one from pole
one right there's probably not a whole lot more you can really do here
besides just stay alive pump the boss maybe impact roll some hot hands
here cross your fingers maybe a couple weight dance resets for Shaq
Cushion 5 as well. A couple of crits from various abilities across the board all of a sudden
we could be looking at a new low on Boss HP.
Well, Caspal always crits.
Caspal tells all those crits, so does Ibeen.
Oh, really? I actually didn't know that. Is that true?
Oh my gosh.
It feels very good.
I feel very exciting.
It does.
Yeah, it's almost unfortunate they have this add-on that tells them, you know,
I see if they're like dodging 2-1, because if you came in here and watched it, it's
like, oh, they have something that tells them what to do at all times, but at
this point they're probably not even noticing that.
Right.
It's just part of the dance that they've memorized.
Yeah, 400 pulls of phase one, and it is all largely second nature.
That's one of the things where that process of becoming good at a phase,
becoming perfect at it, it goes from manual to automatic at some point.
What's very important characteristic of a race to world first player is that
they're good at it while it's still manual as well, and or that they can
convert it to automatic very quickly, which the different styles exist among
these players. Some of them are a lot more intuitive and some of them are a lot more
planning based. Players like fired up and Jack always seem to me to just be
you know that seems good. It seems like the right time and they're always right.
Alright we do see a set of four froths coming in here popping one two three
and four looking at the boss health push here. Once again we're looking for
round 62 being like the rubber injury winnable before the shields here. 63
points or 62.81 not the best not the worst around where we're last pull
actually which we seem to probably have the damage or right around there with a good pull getting in the phase three so
We'll take this once again driver's point out last pull that blue bar in the middle of three in there at the top middle
Shows the actual point where the boss is going to pull you with that third pole versus where DPS is that on that blue bar
So while it might seem like a bad thing
They're riding the edge of that red bar a bit more of a gap between now
You want to be there because that means you can allocate more damage to that damage that shield or the boss damage for the
shield, maximizing every little bit and getting the boss as low as possible for that phase 2.
Once this shield breaks about 5 seconds here, we'll see the boss being blasted a bit more
as well.
Players holding CDs and minor cooldowns for this boss burn to barely have the actual pull
in here.
We beat it.
What can we get it to?
62.8 to 62.321?
Alright, about the same as last time, a .75 burn roughly.
So let's see what we can do.
One battle rise available going into phase 2 here.
Yeah, we know they can do it without getting sub 60 on that push.
We've seen them vary in Phase 3 damage a lot.
The last time was very high, so this is still easily kill range.
They just have to make sure everybody survives.
They're going to want to have all their battle reses.
It's very sketchy in that last phase and they don't want to go so far and just have
someone laying on the floor at the very end.
Alright, yep, just picking up these adds, taking it over.
I'll be placing this Transcendence next to this Beam Man.
Always nice to have a Transcendence available just in case, even if you're not planning
to use it.
Just in case, exactly.
Is it a Global?
It is a global, but you can maybe place it while you're flying through the air, potentially just as you get above the platform.
Could be the vibe.
He doesn't have the lighter than air talent, which is a new talent in War Within,
where after you roll for five seconds, you can double jump and get a slight dash,
and that'll actually cancel knocks as well.
You can have that, and as long as you remember to roll before you get gripped,
you then will be able to press spacebar to cancel the grip once you are airborne.
I love all this new class mobility, meanwhile, I'm stuff that blocks my feet as a warlock.
That's great, love to hear it, very cool to see.
Ah yeah, you sound like THD whenever they start talking about a time spiral, and he just has to remind everybody,
hey, it doesn't do anything for me, guys.
I really, that's something in the admission there, but regardless,
you don't really care about that much anymore, because we're getting to that final part of phase two here.
So, we said that one better res, actually two better res is available now.
This is about the exact same spot we were in last time, heading into that phase three,
almost the same threshold from the boss as well, as long as we can make it through this second part of phase two.
And this is exactly what they need to be doing, is getting to Phase 3 with all 20 alive.
Two Battle Reses is the icing on the cake at this point for them as well.
Even one Battle Res we'd be happy with, I think, but two is tremendous.
Just need to avoid the...
They need any deaths they have in P3 to not be consequential ones, right?
They need them to be the deaths where it's like, okay, that was a healer, they can Res.
Rather than, okay, there goes a DPS with Lost and Spymasters and CDs.
Those sorts of deaths we can't afford with any number of Battle Reses, it wouldn't work.
Right, you basically have all your range, all your spymasters, essentially stacking like a huge execute on the boss.
Right.
The hopping luster, you have an absurd amount of intellect on them with a shrinkage pop for the acolyte cleave for the boss to keep it lust.
But, got a little way so we get there, right?
Boss coming down at about 55% here, about the same as it was last time heading into this phase.
So, we've gone over it a few times already, but it's sort of rinse and repeat, just it gets harder and harder as we go.
The first act, the first ability here we're going to see are these hatchlings being dropped behind the boss.
bring a piece coming out to keep them away from the boss, also being very close to the boss itself
for mass cleave from those warriors, those DKs, all the melee, and that range cleave if need be.
The DKs are pretty much the only ones who will actually turn and face those ads and hit them
instead of the boss with that massive breath of syndra goes to AOE. Everybody else is just
hitting the boss and cleaving for free onto those ads. The most that they'll do is save
something like a bladestorm so that it can also be hitting those ads. Press that whirlwind
every few globals so that it can also be hitting the ads, but other than that
They are just focusing on boss damage and letting these adds die.
These Acolytes, they need to die before the Nova finishes,
but the only thing that's kind of urgent about them is breaking their shield,
so that you can then start kicking them.
With that shield broken, you'll see them really slow down on how much they're worried about those adds.
And they do need to get to do this portal before the ring reaches it.
A little bit sketchy there, and now the essence will be being dropped by Atlas here as well.
He does drop fail low, and he does go down.
If we're only going to go down, also, it's going to be a res.
He wasn't in his breath.
You know what? That's fine, that's a free wings. We do need to res him with some swiftness here, but he does accept that res while there's not too much damage going on.
Yep, boss being dragged in the corner here for that second set of hatchlings spawning momentarily. This is also a ring of peace being committed here. Atlas backed up for that breath cleave if need be here.
Once again, maximizing boss damage. This is where it gets crazy though. You're going to have this overlap of webs here followed quickly by these actual condemnations coming in here.
Dazer goes out of fortune as well as he and she we have
One res, no more res
We can keep going here for a bit longer
We're gonna have the four acolytes spawning in here as well
once these condemnation chains are broken
I think the prospects of it being a kill on this one though
have diminished to zero as a result of these deaths
I think this is a jump angle
Well, I don't know if you see that
you're along the track here
But I don't think you're...
Yeah, okay, there's Scott and Yip's dead
That is definitely the end of this
There are some jumps going through
I thought somebody jumped
Yeah, there it is, alright
I think we're at that point though where if you see that happening you can call that wipe
I mean obviously
Yeah, you can get some more reps in there, but you're also at that point where it might just be okay go again
Yeah, I might know what's up. Yeah, right. So what was it that took they had one res go to Atlas
What took the other one even I didn't really matter because they lost like multiple people
It was super fast a better caster than I would have noticed
But I saw that afterwards and was like, oh, we still have a res and I looked at the rest trackers like oh
We don't have a res what happened there?
We call that one. Yeah, I missed it as well
They're fast, they're faster than us, that's why we're not raiding cams, that's why we're
here watching them do it.
But we do know that for the most part, they're probably going to need all 20 alive regardless
to beat that DPS check.
Maybe one can be down if we get a really good push coming out of phase one.
But 62.2, whatever it was, is probably not that threshold.
So, either way, we know what we need to do, just go again.
And the cool thing about this actually, it's pull 398, which is the hole we predicted.
Yeah, exactly, the ball has been on pull 398.
Mm-hmm.
Yes.
Answer a couple of questions from Chad, and I've been through.
Why don't they go to bed and kill it tomorrow?
Well, one reason is that it's not even bedtime yet.
That's bedtime's been usually around midnight-ish.
They've gone a little bit earlier, a little bit later at different times in this race, but
I think they will probably go past their bedtime, but we're not even there yet.
Yeah, bedtime in about an hour.
Yeah, I think most they push is maybe 1 a.m.
I think they will go later than 1 a.m.
Yeah, they will.
They do not come to boss.
Yeah, they will probably go
late and if they hit a lowl where they're just in P3 for like
maybe an hour, then that'll be the end.
But I don't think that'll be the end of the race.
This boss is so difficult.
Echo still has 13% of the boss to get through.
And that is...
Yeah, that's like progress as well, not boss health.
So they have another 19% of the boss's health to get through.
Yeah, and we've seen that that 19% can take, what, 200 bowls?
I'm gonna think of one.
Yeah, this time yesterday we were at 15% so it's it can take a long time of course the fear is always that they'll do it faster than
Than we did right right yeah, and they've got a basic all mapped out down the park who downs we've been using at the same time
We do know as well like if you make it here to the back of lights with that Nova coming in right that 90% can be
10% or 7% and you can shade a lot off their thoughts at that checkpoint being completed. So we'll see I
I would say, yeah, Echo are not in any pull territory yet, but they could certainly go into any pull territory and then kill the boss
while Liquid sleep if they go to sleep. I don't think it's necessarily likely, but it's definitely possible.
The boss seemed impossible this morning, and now it seems possible, so a lot going to happen within, you know, eight hours.
Another question was about the two Warriors. Liquid are indeed running two different flavors of Warrior right now.
We have one Arms Warrior, which is doing less overall, but more single target, especially in that Exegi range.
and one fury warrior whose job is killing little spiders killing you know
ads all the way through the fight gives up a little bit of single target relative
to the arms warrior but gets the top overall on the damage meters which is
always nice yeah been doing a lot since boomy switched arms gets a lot of the
spiders but I'm curious to see boss damage that's something we don't get a
here behind the curtain on or some of the logs yeah after the race is over we
will probably get to look at that but I bet that that arms warriors doing
quite a bit of damage to the boss.
That's why they made the switch.
And I think the arcane mages are also just tunneling
onto the boss, cleaving off around to the acolytes.
Yeah.
Yeah, you pointed out earlier the mass disintegrates.
And you just see the arcane barrages that disintegrates,
everything flying in every direction.
It looks really neat and optimized, beautiful.
All right, we have had a death here.
We are gonna use our res.
It's okay, it's not a wipe just yet.
One more death in this phase and it will be though.
They'll just decide to end this bowl
rather than continue with a player dead.
Hasn't happened yet.
Damage is still fine on the boss also as we are getting to that set of froths.
I believe this is the force that's coming out of the air.
Yeah, this is the force that you're going to see them stacking 2 melee, 2 hit range for that max damage.
Basically, pop, I believe this is set 4.
So we're going to do here drop the actual webs and green pools behind the boss,
froths in front, pull the boss through for optimized melee damage.
Then you have 2 melee being popped, basically one right about now,
second one being popped here, and 2 hit range for optimized melee and ranged DPS damage.
damage. The boss sitting about 64% here a bit bad. We can burn to a jump. Yeah, with
the death here it's actually not bad at all. We'll see sub 63. We should? I called it. There
we go. It's actually 2.97 on the boss. About the same as last time, a tiny bit higher,
but the big thing here is now beating this web or this intermission DPS check. We're
holding the damage for the next little bit of burn before the phase two actually
begins.
Yep. This intermission is pretty chill. They just want to beat that red line
at the top on this big blue bar and they cut it kind of close because they're
saving cooldowns they're saving some power for when she becomes unshielded you
can't hit her for like three seconds about before she goes immune and so they
will be just trying to get through this about on time and they're making good
work dodging the slimes getting ready to get gripped but yeah they're about
to break it and we can watch their ramp yeah right about now charging that
canning it already the blast this shield is broken 62.9 62.8 roughly three
All right, I mean about a .6 burn. Not bad acceptable similar to last few poles here give or take we can now head into that phase
To once again, no batteries available will have one in about a minute here
So we can't afford one death in phase two
We don't want it obviously because that means we have one less battle rest for that phase three which demands
Pretty much actual perfection from everyone to meet this tight DPS check
Yeah
The DPS check is such that even with the battle res you can't afford to lose a damage dealer in their CDs
basically ever but you can afford to lose damage dealers outside their CDs
especially if they are not carrying one of those spymasters webs with stacks on
it that's a very bad thing to lose the stacks on or you can lose a healer
pretty much anytime as well and just land that res and it would be just fine
yeah thankfully we do not lose anybody there from those espouse coming to the
portals here we're gonna have one next grip of webs coming in here we
should beat this phase in time yet there's the actual bridge canceling
that pull-up from Queen Ancher egg heading up here grabbing these small
spiders as well as heading into the shield that adds this is the damage
the rough platform here. The shield that adds needs to die before the cast finishes, as well as these spiders coming from the ceiling need to be kicked at nearly the same time,
while dealing with this grip, dealing with the dispel, and the portal swaps. If we can get through here clean, we should mostly see a pretty, hopefully a perfect face-up transition, but nobody dead in the raid.
Left add, dead right add, just about ready to die here as well after this pulling comes in, in the beam to the side here. There's the pull in, nobody goes down here. Yep, both adds are down.
down. Alright. I feel this is our pull button. I'm Strandy 8. Let's lock in.
As we've always said, up comes the final platform. Scott grabbing all those. We've
got Yip's up in the top right in that picture-in-picture as well that you
can watch to see how things are going on the other side. Although, notably most
ads in this phase share health with each other with the counterparts on the
opposite side. It's only those ones on the phase two platform that don't
all share health with each other but it's a pretty cool thing about this
fight. You'll always be pushing at the same time as the other side. That's how you always
end up getting knocked into B3 at the exact same time as the other side.
Yep, speaking of pushing here, we are pushing into phase three. 62% in that boss before
the RP burn begins here. We've seen about 56, 55.5 coming out of this. Let's see where
we're at roughly here as well. Keep in mind, this 530 timestamp does not have major
cooldowns here. No less committed yet either. We're going to be holding potions. Spine
Master's lost and everything to that roughly 830 mark when the boss should begin the net with lust
But for now got a few waves of novice to get through as well as the boss being dragged to the corner here
These hatchling spawns are coming up momentarily
All right here come those hatchlings with that tank combo landing massive damage
Onto Scott as well before yips is able to now safely taunt the boss back
Drop that ring of peace under the boss and keep these hatchlings from getting into the boss looks like they're mostly
little fight. Okay, we're live. We're okay. I don't think it even went in. I think that was the
first damage from the Acolytes getting summoned as well. It does look sketchy, but the boss gets
big and glowy when it actually eats one of them. Yeah, there we go. So we have these three Acolytes
wanting here now as well. Pretty trivial for the most part, but they're going to drop these
three Essences. And once again, these Essences of the Mythic are permanent. They don't despawn
when you go through a Nova. So we need to kill these three adds before the Nova begins,
pick up the Essences, and go through the portal at the exact time possible for Max
boss damage, which we see happening right now.
G.H.C. is not going to be eating that over and take Demonic Circle instead.
That's one less of those big circles, one less person constraining their space and doing
extra raid damage with that mechanic.
One of the big advantages of the classes that can do that every time, right, with things
like Demonic Circle, Heroic Leap, Blink, really powerful class abilities.
Yeah, very, very powerful.
They've gotten so good at spreading out those circles.
It used to be kind of chaotic, and now it's just like this beautiful, perfect
spread.
You can see the plan coming together, right?
Everything's sort of just meshing on these poles.
It looks perfect, precise, almost perfection,
but that's what we need to kill this boss, right?
We see that second set of ads spawning from the boss.
I should hear the tank ads.
This is the royal condemnation over that
with the acolyte spawning.
And everybody goes to that circle marker.
Big, right image here with the AMZ being put down.
We're actually, we made it through.
So we're gonna burn these condemnation chains down here
with these four acolytes.
We're gonna have a total of seven essences
being juggled with this next Nova coming up.
One acolyte is dead.
We're moving on to number two on Skull.
It's about half health.
Moving on to number three as well with that diamond marker.
35% on the boss as we enter the first range of our execute effects.
Those soul reapers now triggering from our frost decays.
We are going to get these portals placed,
one in melee on that X marker, one out at the edge of the room.
Nick going on an adventure here over to the side here
so that he can grab one of these essences and then land.
Eventually, it's going to be a rescue and a renewing
blaze onto Bean Baker here, bringing him forward
and giving him half of the effect of his own renewing blaze,
making it so that he can live taking an essence
when he already has that vulnerability debuff.
Yeah, big kind of nation damage coming in here as well,
but this is where we're gonna see that lust
being committed in a moment here.
Once these tank adds spawn,
we'll send that ring of peace come down,
hopefully burn them down,
and then we'll have that lust committed momentarily
with this huge biomass is around at 831.
We're gonna see here the tank adds coming out
right about, oh wait, we lose big poppy.
We have a res available,
we can get him back up for this momentarily.
He's back up, we're okay.
Yeah, he doesn't see these yet, he hadn't hit meta.
So we're okay. This is actually not going to cost too much damage at all.
We are now playing without a V-Rez for another 25 seconds.
We do need to finish these adds off, but there goes the lust
and they are getting ready to send this boss home.
First, we have to get rid of all five of these acolytes, though,
and then pick up all 12 of these acolytes essences.
Yep, we have all five being burnt here.
It's going to be, like you said, a massive 12 essence carry across this nova.
If we can get this far, tank adds are already down.
We have the actual shackles being down as well here, too.
We have the pre-spread coming out right about now.
Once again, after this you're gonna have this web overlap coming up.
You need to grab your essence here. The boss is at 15% already.
He goes down, he goes down, he goes down, we have a resident.
He already sent his spymasters and his CDs as well, this is not the end of the world by any stretch.
We do need to now get those essences picked up so that we can take them through this portal.
Here comes the final Nova, the final frothing gluttony cast before the enrage on this fight.
They have to get all 12 of these through, but first we have to dodge these web blades.
Look how little space there is for you to understand.
We can go through this portal, we have the bosses at 10%, take the portal!
Okay, this is the final bit, we have the spread, dropping essences, we leave pools behind.
As long as we spread here, this is the last we're in the boss.
Drining and days are brought down, we lose, sailing here as well.
Oh no, look, there's an essence at the edge of the room, that's going to be a big problem.
Somebody is going to need to sacrifice and pick that up and bring it into the middle of the room
before they get to this enrage.
7% on the boss now.
Let's see if any of them can manage to do that.
Yeah, it looks like their tanks are actually going for this firefighter job
of taking these essences in from the edge of the room.
edge of the room, but do they have enough damage here? Still 5% on the boss as it enters
that last Nova cast, and I think there's just barely not enough here. Oh, tragedy once
again. 4.743?
4.74.
There it is.
Okay.
Alright, well, that was a little close.
So, we lost 3 DPS before that final burn. We also went into phase two, about a percent
half to 2% higher than we've seen on good polls. This is another one of those
polls where you can look at it and you can count the number of things you would
need to change for it to be a kill on one hand, which is not many
polls on a boss of this difficulty. Usually a lot of stuff went wrong,
things went wrong early in the fight. This poll, it's doing a little bit more
damage in B1, but mostly just don't die. You might not even need to do more
damage in B1. You might be able to kill it with the damage they had
there if all of their players could have made it the entirety through to
that in rage that would have also fixed the problem of the essences being dropped at the edge of the room
Although if any of that happened because of something other than a player death, that's also something they need to fix
Yeah, but the good thing about that poll they're getting incredibly consistent at the first like two parts of that phase three
You rarely lose anybody there if you do it's some like little mistake here and there
But honestly like it's rancid repeat. They've seen it enough
They even seen that five acolyte set proudly enough at this point where it's just like a hey
We got to come in here just no random deaths enough damage in phase one. This boss will die. It's any poll
Alright.
Literally any pull.
Well, we can get a bit of a sense here for what that has done.
If there's anything they can learn from this and how the vibes are doing as we are just
crossing over that 11pm threshold here in Los Angeles, let's go now to a brief monster
energy listen in.
We're talking about the puddles at the end.
They were bad.
I mean, that's just from the portal.
It's not anything else.
Just where the portal is.
You're talking about the puddles at the very end?
Like, where we're killing the boss?
Yeah.
That's just from the portal.
No, it was, there was way more way less face in melee.
It's from all the gloom and people baiting bad infest.
You cannot run ahead.
Yeah, that's to do the...
There's also like, I see range,
I see range cheating to the right.
It has to be the first one,
that's where the fight ends.
You see the first one to the right?
I mean, they always like cheat in.
The wing cheat would go towards the middle.
You just run on the edge.
Yeah, you could just run on the wall.
You just run towards where melee was.
Just run forward, basically.
I always run on the wall pretty much
and there's just people with cheats there for some reason.
Running on the edge is good,
because the evokers have to do that,
stay in range of the balls anyway.
So the rest of you should definitely be doing that.
Where do you think the one to the back can right this bad?
Yeah, it's only the one for you.
Yeah, that's the one that's amazing.
So the first and first, you're doing that.
Just every infest range just follow where Milly was,
like they're just playing fast, just go forward.
The next infest, actually, after the punch,
but the first one is what matters,
but what affects the last level area?
Like this one is a crime, but that's because you've got some to be fair
No, no, I mean this one's kind of this one doesn't affect the other fight though
Yeah, the only one of the face the other the fight is the first one of the fight
Because that's where we end up. Thanks. I mean that that one definitely affects it obviously the first one too
That one doesn't change what happens in the execute at the end
No, if you look at it if you look at the very end, you'll see what I mean
Uh, at the very end, it's just the portal.
That's the only place we're- I mean, the first one on the face, sure, but that one doesn't do anything.
Yeah, the first one.
Something's happening on the second acolytes, where they're just, like, not getting finished.
Like, the first one, I-I think, like, okay, full honesty, when we go on the condemnations over here,
are you guys hitting this acolyte or the boss?
Because you should be hitting the acolyte.
We're actually losing boss image later because like range have to finish this and kick it forever too
I mean, I don't know about the other melee but for me at least like the web blades come out here
And it's just way to hit the boss. Oh
Acolyte oh, I'm kind of around it. Oh, this is all this is well before lines ever happen
So we stand on in the same Z and then we're hitting Acolyte hitting Acolyte hitting Acolyte. We're moving
Oh, oh, we're talking about if it's that number
yep it's the first one you mean right
thanks yeah I swear we can get that we
could either kill that thing or get it
to like 20% and it's like barely breaking
him shield
yeah let's go that's all are you good
yeah that's all right let's go
boss die I'm back in like one minute
I got my game so smooth.
What the hell are you?
I think you're a TD bug here.
Alright.
Speed vibes.
Push lines.
Thanks man, it just takes me for a fucking bitch of a...
Yes.
You said nice chill 15 mil, go on our fucking.
Yeah.
Ready for first popster?
15 mils for each one.
Watch your ways.
I'm back.
Look up high. Yeah
Good evening
Okay, break these in lines after pain lines here. Okay. Watch waves waves waves lines in three two one
And look up high
I'm watered
Reguru's those are weird look of ice
Figured out the ga we here up your dragons just drawing bang bang bang
I think somebody buckled up.
Yeah.
Okay, so we just need to regroup something in the intermission.
Yeah, we're going to...
Yeah, we're feeling good right now.
Feeling amazing right now.
Camera up.
What?
What was that?
Getting a five stack.
That's Atlas now.
I sure use your help.
I'll say it.
I use a personal as well.
One second left, man.
Getting sucked in.
Three, two, one, now.
Do you have a personal for me here, buddy?
I can thank you.
W.
You brother are going to suck later on though.
Fuck it.
I need the time to follow here.
You are dead.
No.
Two, one, now.
Dobby, give me Dobby.
Omni.
A little more damn here, maybe not a hole.
Watch the waves.
Oh man, so an omni there.
Watch the waves.
I hit a nasty crit, we're good.
Last wave, it didn't fucking last this shit.
Any time, it's all up the glove, it's all in.
You're four at one of those, well.
Hey, Jarian Serif, fell here.
Getting sucked here, getting sucked in.
three two one now we need big damn maybe a stellar and range click w days are an
impecker first range is the first up second three two one now shackle nice
get the kill the acolytes guys and second three two one now okay watch
orbs now
Yep, you move along the line range.
Gate Swirlies in 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, W.
This is Shaq. This is Warrior.
Okay, adds here. Lines in 3, 2, 1, now.
Did Acolyte cleave now.
Herbo Blast these things.
Okay, Lines and Portals now.
Ranged.
Go next, go next.
What's the acolyte essences finish this thing?
Good everyone can do this normally listen to my call
Hit boss taking this in three two one go
Okay, dodge and orbs and lines now orbs and lines orbs and lines
Okay, good keep it moving along the room. Okay along. Yep. This really isn't three two and one two three now
and then we're getting shackles in 3, 2, 1, now everyone's square shackles go to orange.
Good.
Pull it over.
AW lines, lines, lines, great.
Okay, portals are in 10.
Keep it moving, keep it moving all the way.
I spread for portals, I spread for orange.
Yep.
Lines and portals, two seconds.
Deal with this.
Pre-spread for portals now.
Here they come.
You're trying to...
You're trying to...
Watch the watch lines, keep your butt.
Oh God, it's okay, get him now.
Three buff'em as well, okay, ready to pick up?
Everyone else, we're gonna keep these people up here.
Follow your own timer, we're getting shackles in five seconds.
Backals in three, two, one, spread out.
Watch your HP, make sure you're top for this hit.
Watch your orbs, watch your orbs,
don't pick up an essence and they're hitting.
And let's go to them, go.
Hey, kill them, kill them, kill them.
In fast positions, fast positions.
Yeah, in fast positions now.
In fast now, swirly's in three, two, one, swirly's one, two, three.
Good, kill the hatchlings on the lines, make sure we get a re-sun.
That's...
That's...
Perfect.
Thanks, Potion Bomb.
Kill these adds, finish them, that's all of our damage art.
Oh my god.
Oh yeah, just the guy who's on them died.
I got two aggro's by damage health most of the time though, but...
Oh, okay, so it's these stuns here, so...
First we get a cap.
That's great.
Okay.
That's a skit cap.
Alright, what's the stun after the...
Alright, welcome back to the casted segment after we end that monster energy.
Listen in...
close!
But again, no cigar there. We had a couple of people starting to go down.
We had one hatchling enter the boss and that very quickly...
ended that pull.
So much difficulty in the end of the fight. We don't usually see it, but those web blades, they are so brutal
They're faster than heroic. They kill you basically for sure if you get hit by them while all this other stuff is happening
You can't afford to just defensive and stand in one because your defensives are needed for the unavoidable damage
Yeah, sometimes it just there's bad our engine a pattern that comes out in your force into one spot with very little room to
Go we lost Cooper on the 720 mark there, which means that max by master was gone as well
We got him up. Yeah, and Rukku went down that last set of hatchlings which
which spelled disaster once again.
I mean, you're probably going to need about a perfect pull
with all 20 alive here in Max by master stacks,
max execute, max damage and lust to kill this boss.
But I mean, we've been very consistent
in the last half hour or so.
If we're getting back to that point for the most part,
at least phase three, also Tams.
This is your pull 400.
That is it.
This is it.
Also drama's this pull.
Yeah, mine as well.
All three of us actually, it's the hat trick.
Oh my gosh, look at that.
This could be it.
We all set pull 400.
I think makes mine as well.
Well, she's not here at now.
This is the cancer prediction. It's a consensus prediction for sure. If it's not 400
Well, let's let's not worry about that just yet. It is
Evermann's gonna make it with their max by masters. Nobody's gonna die early if they do it's tactical for the wing
Yeah, for the wing sacrifice some healers or something. Yeah, I think yeah
Maybe that could be some text drop some healers near the end like once they get the essences through the portal
Do they need the healers?
I'd the very last set I guess not yeah
for one wing is a little bit more skeptical.
They'll do like one at a time, they'll just go chomp on it.
Yeah, they'll alter it, like rolling.
It's an idea.
It's certainly an idea of ideas, yeah.
They're doing anything they can to optimize every little bit, you know, chipping away.
The question is those healer damage better than wings and a pallet if for a little bit.
That's the question.
They have those Mag Queens and those healers here.
We got those big damn disintegrates as well coming in.
is uh, Fresivokers. Very good at killing these bosses.
Is the splits integrate? Does preservation have access to that?
No, unfortunately that's uh, scale commander dev, yeah.
Yeah, it's very very cool though. I've been debating leveling my dev, or my Voker, or my Shyamalan,
I get home and I still split. I don't know.
They're all so cool.
They are.
Yeah.
Yeah, this expansion has really upped the coolness factor of many specs.
Yeah, the dragons, they were a weird addition I think early on,
but I like watching them fly around doing the breaths.
The disintegrates are always kind of moving and casting.
Yeah.
They look very nice.
It'll look even better with the world first
and with the Belch camps,
which we are basically in any pole territory of.
And 1.76% separates them from world first.
That's right.
But this is the pole.
This is it.
Yeah, this is it.
The 400 that locked in, nothing can go wrong.
Question from Chad is how many hours straight
have they been playing right now?
Well, they've been taking breaks for food,
but start time today was 9.30 AM and it's now almost 11.30.
So we've been going for 14 hours.
That was good math.
Wow.
Yep.
Very nice.
Thank you.
That's why they pay you the big bucks, right?
Well, you guys are getting paid?
In Taco Bell.
Well, I mean.
It's still a pretty good deal, right?
That's a pretty good deal, yeah.
Those fast food prices have been going up
about 12 or more recent years, huh?
Mm-hmm.
Well, you know.
Can't even get a big cheese it for less than $2 these days
from the from all the bell.
Well, you know, that'll live on.
That'll live on the multiple races, the two AM one.
If it's possible order.
Yeah, as I added a big cheese into the order,
it was so confusing for you to this boss tonight.
We're going for 300.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, I'll buy it.
Yes, we kill 400.
I'll get every rate or a big cheese.
That all that is easy.
Yes.
Big cheese.
Oh, she's spending like 30 bucks.
That was great, nice cams, great, good job cams.
That was like $3 for that Cheez-It.
Somebody asked you to know how late they're going.
We don't know for sure.
Word on the street is, it dies or we die,
which means we pull indefinitely.
Of course they will stop at some point,
but I think that it wouldn't be seriously considered
until at least 1 a.m., probably later.
Yeah, if they keep, if they get to the point
where they're just having phase one wipes
over where they start regressing,
then I think you make that call.
Cause this, that also can be a call
that makes your breaks in a race.
This is that night in a race where you have to know
when to make that call to keep going or to stop, right?
Because sleep's important.
This is not a boss who can come in half asleep for
like you did on Sarkarath.
You need precision for this fight.
Absolutely, yeah.
Now 14 hours, they're used to playing
after this many hours of gaming,
but as we start getting up into that 16, 18, 20 range,
we do expect that play may start to deteriorate,
and at that point it may be best to just try
and get some sleep.
Echo, having gotten below that 20% threshold,
going to make sleep a lot harder to do, but it might still end up being the right call.
But that's not something we need to worry about right now because any of these bowls
could be world first.
Make sure you've subbed to this channel using your Twitch Prime if you've got that available
or using your US dollars if you don't so that you can avoid any ads that might play
during any of these bowls because all of them could be it.
Yeah.
We are in any pool territory for sure.
The last few pushes we've seen that have gone like deeper into Phase 3 of this
This boss had been about 62.1, 62.1 being 62.5 after the shield's broken in this phase.
We've seen as low as 60.7, I believe, yesterday, looking for that 61 range to be realistically
in that optimal kill zone with the raid alive in Phase 3 if we can make it that far.
So that's the number to keep your eye on at the end of this phase right here.
Yeah, we haven't really been getting to this point of like multiple back-to-back-to-back
and rage wipes.
We've definitely been seeing a lot of wipes getting deep into P3 though.
If we do get multiple back-to-back and rage wipes, and it's like, oh, it's 1% every time,
we may see them try and optimize further.
Earlier they were thinking about doing some stuff with taking THDs and Exiles cooldowns
off of Phase 2, so they can get an extra press during Phases 1 and 3 combined.
But I don't think right now they think that's necessary.
Right now they think, okay, do what we are planning, get to the end with 20 players
alive, never have a death, never have a huge inefficiency, and this boss will
die.
I think I agree with them.
I think if you added up the best of each phase, they have killed the boss.
Absolutely, added up the like sum of splits, metric.
They have the damage in the way they're doing this fight, and they just needed all the line up perfectly.
You see it like a 1-2% range coming out of phase 1, so like even that on their 1% wipe, they could have killed it with the P1 damage being higher.
I'm not sure what the push was there, but there's always just these little min-maxes they can make, even though they've already gone so far.
already gone so far, they just have to like keep pulling and basically hoping for a good
roll at some point. It's a bit of, I don't want to say luck, but they're hoping to have
a more lucky pull I guess.
Yes, speaking of luck, look at this push here, 61.5 before the actual shields broken.
This is a really good push damage wise, about a percent and a half lower than most
have been in the last phase. We can't jinx this. This is pull 400. We all called
this pull one res available here. The big thing is beating this shield that week
4 in the middle of his screen there. We want to be ahead of that red bar. Just by enough,
but also holding CDs for when that bar breaks, we beat that pull in for a little bit more
damage than the boss. This is a really good push damage wise though.
Yeah, they are now ahead of that check, but it's important that they save as much damage
as possible for those two or three globals they get after the shield gets broken. Can
we see this boss's health dropping below 61%. Here comes that push.
There we go 61, sub 60.98 and this boss is on life support here as we move into the phase 2 ad section of the encounter.
Yeah, so this is going to be one of the more dangerous parts of the actual encounter itself. A lot of volatility in this phase 2 when we get knocked to these platforms here.
We have one battle res available. Hopefully we don't need it.
But the second platform here is probably the most volatile.
For the most part, one and three are pretty elementary
for the most part, dodging beams, being the web properly
and killing these ads.
The big thing is getting both these ads dead in time
to activate that bridge to basically snap the second pull
and we have the first pulling coming now.
Both the ads being tanked towards the edge,
scoping, rescue back on that platform to tank those ads.
We have a rescue.
We can get them up here.
We get them before the actual second platform begins.
We can break that shield and bring max damage to that.
We'll have another res available
in about half a minute here.
Also the rate pretty low for this x-grade three beat this we pull it repeat this pollin we beat this. Oh, we didn't be it
We lose THG. Oh, we know both days. Well, that's it. That's a shame
I think this is just a jump off the side of this bridge
Because you get there there they go off the side. What a great push though on boss health
We just got to do that again. Yeah, and then also do all the rest of the fight
It sounds easy when you put it like that, but it's anything but
I have failed, 400 was not it.
Well that pulled in count though, because that was a new boss low.
So technically the pull next is the one you're mentioning, right? 401?
No, I said 401.
Well, ARS gets pushed forward at least, you might have misspoke, I don't know.
It's a rare showcase of integrity from Cams here, I respect it.
Not rare as in from you, but rare as in from anybody on this couch.
Oh, I see, yeah.
Yeah, I'm sticking with my 401 and I'm sorry I'm wrong.
Jono, he picked 401, weird number, but...
Yeah, I have always said it.
Yeah, you'll probably stick to that as well, the integrity.
It does look like they're getting ready for another poll.
Healing going on the players.
Yeah, I mean, what if they really did discuss here, not a whole lot, honestly.
You get back in, you hit that sub 61% DPS or damage threshold in the boss here.
That is a...
If they had hit that threshold on that 1.76 pull, that could have very likely been a kill.
We've seen basically that 62% being about what they've been doing for the last few pulls here.
That 60.98 is what they want to see, heading into that Phase 2, which would mean Phase 3 is within that kill range, maybe even giving it a little bit of leeway for somebody to die.
Yeah, absolutely, yeah. A little bit of wiggle room is all they need here. They have almost enough, like, they could reliably get this boss, so 4 or 5% if they played it safe.
And then they have a bunch of stuff they can do that is sketchy, that gets it down to, you know, zero.
But it makes it all so dangerous, every single ball.
Thankfully one of those is not dropping a healer.
Yeah, that is something I could do for another 5% more damage, but we mercifully clearly don't need that.
Because trying to drop a healer would add another 100, 200, 300 holes to this encounter at least.
Yeah, and they've opened a door.
Yeah.
They no longer need to look at that third healer.
That's right.
The light is it's clear that they have the damage right the lights at the end of the tunnel for them
Just got to get back there. They have the damage if the stars are one. Yeah. Yes
I mean it's there. It's somewhere. It's gonna find it right right like I mean max max by master stacks max execute everybody living
Optimized damage around last and a hot hands Hyrule in phase one that boss being sub 61
That's a recipe for perfection right there. We just got to get there, right?
Yeah, just gotta keep pulling the boss. Ideally before it gets too too late here, but it is 1130 local time and they have been waking up at like 930.
I guess they started gaming today at 930, so they woke up a little bit before that, but they are definitely still in those prime gamer hours.
Not getting to be too late. I think they will probably push it tonight if they need to, but we're not there just yet.
this yet right now focused on this pull all about getting as much damage into the
boss as possible during this relatively easy phase of the fight now I mean I
wouldn't see an absolute terms that we do have a death coming out but relative
to the end of that last phase it definitely does seem easier yeah we
can't commit this race the days are here we're probably gonna hold it past
these fraught pops which is important. Do you believe we were at it beforehand so that we
don't have an extra stack but I think we can live even one extra stack here?
We likely can at this point leaving them down as long as it's interesting though it's gonna
make it harder to beat that DPS check in a sense in the boss series. Res now, right before the actual
damage comes out from that froth pop, which is a bit odd. We live through it here regardless. The
boss is at 73, so we're going to have one more force set of froths coming out. And this is a dangerous
one if someone dies. We have no res that's available here. We have seen this phase a lot,
so we should hopefully have the whole ring alive for this, but if someone goes down here,
this is going to be an easier reset. Seri, we actually lost Seri.
Use an angel form, that is, hey, jump for sure.
All good, this only cost us two minutes.
What we need to make sure is that it doesn't cost us
any morale or momentum in that last phase.
One of those intangible things that some would argue
is made up and doesn't exist, but others will swear by
as the momentum in these later phases.
I think there's definitely some merit to it.
When I said Siri, my phone activated,
it's been talking for two minutes,
recording conversation, look at that.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah, nice features.
I wonder if that happened to anybody
who just had their phone near their TV
or whatever when they're watching this.
Sari.
Although I heard that there's some frequency
that gets filtered out in the TV
and then the phones use that
so that they don't accidentally detect people saying,
you know, the names of these AIs over the TV.
I don't know if that's fake news.
I thought you were setting up to just grill me
with something, have my voice sound weird.
Oh, come on, I would never treat you that way.
We're friends.
That's like they're taking a break.
Does look like a little five minute
is gonna come up here,
giving us for the first time in hours,
A brief respite from some absolutely nail-biting bulls.
I barely got any nails left at this point.
This is getting intense.
You can have mine.
All right, thank you.
I'll come over there and help you.
I just let me know.
Appreciate that, Cam.
Yeah, thank you.
Yeah, I'm wondering, a lot of these players,
you know, when you're in a hardcore guild,
normally you're not getting up in the morning
and doing all this day raiding.
You kind of go late into the night.
Right.
So I wonder if some of them still
have like some of that built into them.
I still have it.
I feel like I'm much better, like, deep into the night.
and they never really go there anymore.
I feel like gamers are overwhelmingly night owls
compared to morning people.
What is it?
Morning early birds?
Early birds, that's it.
Dude, this is lunchtime for me.
First dinner is in a couple hours.
I'm locked in.
Kalamazoo, I see you tweeting these pictures
at like 4 a.m. your time of burgers on the grill.
For a five pound bowl of chicken Alfredo,
good for bed, fills you up real nice,
gets a good sleep in, very nice.
It is incredible.
About 2,000 calories for a bed,
you know, you knock it out for three or four days,
yeah, you're good to go.
I got the recipe for a disaster. Hit me up. I got you covered.
It's just, it's incredible. All the different,
all the different kinds of people to make the world go around.
That is. All right. We've got a few trans box.
We are closing submissions on trans box as we hope we're approaching the end of
this race. Uh, but these were trans box sent in as part of charity donations,
this tier for our drive. We've got Regency. Oh, all right.
Yeah, this is a 10 for sure. I love the color coordination of all these different parts the when to go woolly slippers really do it for me
How about you guys? I think if I put one on this all like cloud mogs
This is indeed one of them cans. What do you think a one a one from cams is not a fan of the clown mogs
No, not at all. All right next transmog
Coming up is
Jabba's the seeker or a thematic is your hunter to me
Feathers, Hunter stuff. Is this a rival Hunter?
It's actually a BM Hunter they're logged out in, but they're carrying a two-hander.
Yeah, well, you know, we all make mistakes here. That is an interesting helmet.
I think it's like a solid 8-2. It's a Hunter mug.
Six.
Six from Cam's, what are you saying?
8-2.
8-2? All right.
I'll give this a 9. I like that spear. I think it's a good spear.
I think I've used that in Hunter mugs before.
All right, next trans mug coming up is Meowmage.
Oh.
I think I've seen one already.
This is a good one.
I think you're married
You don't know that that's not her character. Okay, that's true. I'm here to do it for daddy. I
This is a 9-7 drama. What do you think?
What what makes you say this is a 9-7 kelvin? Uh, you know the eyes I love eyes
They're great. They fell green like a warlock that backpack. I see the belts
The shirt is not the focal point of the attire for me, but I mean you know
It doesn't hurt anything, right?
Turn that sucker around.
Turn that sucker around.
Turn that sucker around.
A nine for me.
I'll give it a nine for Jared.
I like the beer mug off hand.
I think that goes well with pretty much any mug.
Alright, next one here.
Is the name I'm not going to read.
That's big dog sugar. I know him.
I see.
That's a boy right there from Booty Bay.
I'm surprised to see this character on the Ticondria server.
on the Ticondria server. That's my home server. We've got a lot of characters on this server.
I think this is like an 8-7. An 8-7, you think? Yeah. Alright, I'm going to give this a 9-4,
dude. This is a good mug. I like the weapon. It just is so completely out of touch with everything
else in this mug except for the glasses and those two really make a nice extra layer on this
thing. I like the glasses, but I'm sorry, I have three. Three? Oh, that's tough. Alright,
Here's Aethelia the faceless one. Oh, this is like a like bod right? Oh
Is it art world? I know that yeah, I know I think the helmets definitely aren't world
I don't know about the shoulders shoulders about it. Yeah, that's our Lord mythic
Yeah, so from apathy. Oh my gosh the void of it's a mage. No mage except for the woman's heart few minutes ago at 9.7
Can be 118 for me. This is a 7.9. Okay. All right, but still nice more. I'm gonna give this an 8.4
All right, this is nine for me. All right, nice transmog. Thank you very much
for submission. Next one coming up is...
Pedro Salad. Oh my gosh, Miguel Ashen Phoenix.
On Sargeras, one of my old servers. I don't know what the helm is, but I like it.
That is an interesting helm as well. Yeah, it goes with the shoulders nicely.
I don't think they're the same set as well. They don't look like they are.
If they are, even still. I feel like they're
they just match really nicely and they go with that sight of the loon
recolor as well. Yeah, I think it's 8.6 for me.
86 I'm gonna get this a 9.8. Oh, very good. I like all of these different pieces
The minus point to come from the fact that it is balanced your head. Yeah
Exactly anything in runs your titles. I'm not a huge fan of but it's okay. They ruined. Yeah, I gave it an eight
All right. Here's well Garra NZ perhaps well Garra ends perhaps. Oh, okay. There we go. All right
I'd be either of those. Yeah, it's nice a nine a
Nine from Canada. I just gonna fire off the number right at the night. Yep. I like it
I'm thinking 8.9 this one like this one to like the wings a lot actually very nice
Yeah, there's a Necrolord covenant back attachment things actually 8.9 pretty cool 8.9 from you. All right. I'm gonna 8.6. I quite like it
Yeah, not bad
Here's a Linda
Earthen good machine warden. Oh love those shoulders. I think those were just last a Miraculous shaman shoulders. I think it's very cool
Actually, very good. Yeah, that's always go well pretty much anything
Oh, they're in Earthen, I see, oh my god.
Yeah, Earthens are so cool as well.
It's so rare for things to be cool when they look like dwarves, but Earthen often do it.
They eat rocks, like, headels of that kind of thing actually.
Exactly, yeah.
I didn't know that until recently, but they're one and the same.
I give us 8.6.
Alright, I'm gonna give this a 9.2.
Okay, I'll give it an 8.
Alright, incredible.
Very nice.
Very nice, indeed.
Juicy Raiders starting to sit down now.
We may have time for one more, though.
Oh, this is my friend, Demonic.
Demonic, yeah, wow, nice, a nice character.
We gotta do numbers quickly as there is a pole timer, so just rapid fire a number here, Kalamazie.
This is the Monarch Boussé. It's French, actually, because you didn't know.
I get that at probably a date point, right? It was very nice.
I'm gonna get that one a 9.2. I'm gonna bump that up to a 9.4,
because we didn't get to spend long enough looking at it, and I feel bad.
Yeah, it's French for me.
9.2 cans. Alright. We are underway with pole 403.
Now, this has long been my prediction for the number of poles that this boss would take, so...
Got a good feeling about this one.
Oh, that's true actually. You told me if it is go forward.
I did.
It was your pull-out. It's four or three technically, you know?
Yeah.
Who's counting besides me?
Gragas.
Shortcrack Logs and Rayo.
Two of our great partners.
Very true.
But you know, they, yes, you are correct.
Autanam, the trick is not actually ever guessing anything.
I have missed working with Dreadnoughts.
Yes, it has been a delight.
It has been.
You know what's happening all off?
Kill tonight.
That would be a lovely cherry on top of a beautiful few weeks.
Beautiful few weeks of friendship, right?
Yeah.
Of friendship?
Partnership.
Business friends.
Business.
Friendly associates perhaps?
Friendly association.
Yeah, exactly.
Yes.
Okay.
Co-workers even perhaps.
Allies potentially.
One day, maybe.
Maybe.
Alright.
Okay.
I think we're allied.
Yeah.
Well, I'm bored talking about half my characters.
Well, that must be Yoda, either.
No, actually.
No, we're doing pretty well this this tier
Do you guys remember back when you had to have your whole guild be the same faction and
Liquid swapped alliance for battle of Dizarlor. I do actually I do all of the start of the tier for like that war mode pop
Because alliance I were like underrepresented at the time and so you got a little bit extra war mode bonus or something
Yeah, whatever. I think it was an extra item. Yeah, I remember all the tweets of King's honor friends
Yeah, there we go. They're all in there on their alliance characters. That was a good time
I actually am curious, it probably doesn't amount to much, I'm sure they've run the numbers on it, but I am curious how much DPS they've actually lost all going gnome in this first phase, comparatively to like, lost damage with better ratios.
Mechanome is a pretty high DPS ratio.
But they're not mechanome, they're gnome, right?
Right, exactly, so that's what they're giving up, right? They're giving up higher than a usual tier's worth of difference between one race and another, right?
Usually the best DPS ratio is like, I don't know, 0.2% ahead of the rest, something like that.
Mechanome is in some cases even a bit more than that.
Nome isn't bad either though. Nome is flat haste, which is good for a lot of specs.
Right, they're not terrible either, I'm just curious.
And also, the fact that you don't have to kill those webs.
Right, yeah. It saves you decent bit of damage in the roots in phase 1 as well,
which can translate to more boss damage, which we're looking for that threshold of 61 give or take.
We do have some mechanomes as well, the players that are able to break their own roots.
The reason, so chat, the reason that some of them are gnomes is because Escape Artist
lets you break out of several roots during P1, very valuable.
Yeah, setting both HPS and DPS.
But then some players like fired up I believe is still on the mechanome lifestyle
because he can just blink out of those instead.
Yeah, blink blink and instead of Shimmer having ice floes
which I think is the right choice on this fight
I see him casting Arcane Blast on the move a lot.
Very helpful, he does a lot in his phase.
He has his ice floes charges and then the blink breaks the roots.
Very good utility.
Not to great air invids this grip here.
So he still gets knocked very low.
There's a ton of damage, nice little breaths coming out from the evokers.
The shield is getting low, they're gonna beat it, they'll be close.
We're on pace to beat this. The question is, how low can we get the boss HP going into this second phase?
62.82 is where we're at now. 61. something would be incredible here, but we're probably gonna land around 62.1? 62.2. Not bad.
Yeah, sort of on the higher end, but not out of their own possibility if we have a perfect pole here,
which we've seen them nearly replicate a couple poles here.
It's in about half an hour since we've seen that deep phase three, but with a couple breaks mixed in here and there, and we're still in April Territory, right?
6-2 is still more than doable.
If we can make it through phase two without losing more than one person.
Absolutely. Here we go.
Phase two begins.
BRAS still available here.
On this first platform.
Everything knocked over here. Pretty elementary at this point. Baiting the beam towards the back of the room.
We're going to have most of the raid on either the left side or right side of this platform
barring the person taking the actual portal here to interrupt that cast.
So we're dropping webs on one part of the room if possible, baiting the beam to the other
side of the room.
You see the pirate up going through there, getting him to spell on the back of the
room once those beam baits come out, activating that bridge there, interrupting the second
pull in from the boss, saving some damage from the raid, heading up the platform
to you, which once again has that shield that adds that kick you need to or that
cast you need to kick, plus two attendants coming down, and that portal sloth still
being relevant.
This being the major choke point of phase two.
Yep, the polling coming here roughly with the dispel coming in the back.
A lot of ray damage coming out here.
We top off this time for this poll negating the knockback of the average blinking backwards,
killing this final ad and the two hanging spiders.
One falls.
Quickly, number two should fall here as well just in time.
Hopefully, he beat this polling, which is going to happen right about now.
Activate the bridge and the polling is canceled.
Perfect, we're through.
All right.
Generally, that second platform is the hardest part of P2.
It's not totally safe coming up here.
They do have two resists if anything goes wrong, but they're going to want to save those to the end of the fight.
It gets very sketchy, and we've seen they need everybody alive, hopefully no one dies during their cooldowns.
So, yeah, kill this ad, get the P2. I think this is a perfect pull.
Yeah, we've got two resists available here with a 62.2 threshold on the boss.
Once again, not the lowest, but not the highest either.
We're going to have about 12 to 13 seconds of raw damage on the boss coming up here as well.
We've seen on the polls they've gotten very low, about a 56 or so percent threshold when
the boss lands here after this RP in the middle of the room.
This time right here though is pure damage on the boss.
If you're moving to a spot here ahead of time, you're casting spells on the move.
Otherwise, you're planted here.
Max damage the boss, 59%, 58 coming up momentarily.
The boss is going to land indicated by a small blue circle, 58, 57 coming up here.
If we can hit the six, there's actually a pretty good push coming out that's compared
to before.
56 point out.
We'll call that 56 roughly, give or take.
Call it 56. Call it 55. We're feeling Josh.
It's pull 403. We're locked in.
Exactly. We've been locked in for ages now.
These players have been just playing to the absolute utmost of their potential
given just how close they've gotten a couple hours ago with that 1.76% white.
Yeah, we see those hatchlings falling in the back behind the boss there.
Optimizing for max melee damage as well as just meat grinder cleave.
These webs coming out here aren't the biggest problem in the first part of the phase here.
here. These three acolytes are pretty trivially here as well. Burning one down, moving the
boss along with number two. Once this one falls, moving to number three. It's even left alive
at this point, which is, you know, question in itself. Breaking those shields, they then
kick those adds. The next thing here is going to be grabbing these three essences
on the floor that they're driving upon there.
Two tanks and one non-tank. Two tanks will be picking up essences every single set.
And then we're going to have one non-tank for the first time, five the second time,
10 the third time having to carry those essences taking a lot of damage across the raid the tanks
Will also be taking a lot of damage after this first set as they will have a massive
500% increased damage from essences vulnerability that you can see there that four minute debuff that has just been applied to yips
Yeah, you're dragging the boss in the next corner of the room here saving as much space as possible
See that next spawn of hashlings also coming out in the back of him here
Committing that ring of peace right under the boss here to give maximum a cleave
This is where the fight gets interesting and pretty demanding so we're going to have these shackles coming out momentarily after these websballs
We have an ad. Oh, okay. We made it through. Here come the shackles. Watch this ray damage coming in. AMZ is down
We're in it. Super low on malarcus here
We all make it through before acolytes are also up now as well cutting the boss around to that circle acolyte there trying to
Burn it down with those chains also. We're through the chains. Here comes the beer as that is spymasters web stacks lost
But not much else. He wasn't in his CDs. I don't believe
just yet that'll be on the next set of ads.
Yeah, there still may be dual one reds available here we have like you mentioned
said lost that once by master stack we're committing lust around the 830 mark
here which is going to be the next set of acolytes the next task here though is
grabbing the seven essence on the floor getting through this nova that's coming
in which you want to be placed right there that portal around that circle
mark hoarding through roughly right about now then quick spread this max
damage coming out from these spread circles we have we lose exhale here
Unfortunately, we have one res available for him.
We should get it.
Yeah, melee DPS doesn't have a spy master's web,
not losing too much execute damage.
We do need to get him back up soon though,
so that we can keep his damage on the boss
during this pivotal end of the fight.
Here comes another set of shackles,
and then it's gonna be tank mechanic.
And then after that,
it's gonna be five acolytes and bloodlust,
and that will be nearing the end of the fight.
Here are those hatchlings.
So many players in the raid are so low.
Looks like they're gonna be able to stabilize.
They have to dodge these web blades though.
These will kill many players,
Unfortunately, not to get hatched.
We're gonna die here.
We made it through, yeah, we made it through.
All right, this is going to be it.
All the hatching today, we have the five Acolytes ascending from the ceiling here.
We have the lust being committed as well.
This is that big damage push.
Second potions.
Max firemashes here.
Big damage coming in.
We have an explosion right from somewhere.
Exile there goes down.
We can still push here through a piece of this.
The ERS is coming up in five seconds, so we can get Exile back up.
Again, it's not the end of the world to lose a melee here.
We are gonna keep this boss moving between these Acolytes.
They die.
They drop their essences.
We can't pick them up just yet.
to make sure that we delay picking up these essences until the perfect time
they're all spread so far over the room there are now 12 of them on the floor
and they have to get all 12 through this portal that they've just dropped yes
sub 13 percent the boss here we have a decent this solo yeah keep in mind as
well if we can live through this we'll have 20 alive for the boss burn the
boss is almost at 11 percent sub at 11 percent for this portal skip coming
in here we're gonna see sub 10 percent in this possible for coming up we have
the last line Dutch here as long as we have make it through here in time
spread fast don't lose anybody we have like half a minute of burn left from the
boss here draca goes down we have no reds available we lose draca driny and
exile all go down here we snub a lot of the raid alive 8% on the boss now as
we've dropped all those essences towards the middle of the room now we
just have to burn the boss not much happening until this ring cast starts
and then the boss will teleport to the middle of the room there are some
essences towards the edge of the room so if those exist they will get hit by
that nova which will be very bad here comes that ring cast they need some
heroic sacrifices here Scott is gonna go for one he picks it up he's in that
fair for my friends region tries to move it farther forward but a lasso still
explodes and the boss at 3.91% it's so dead lifts a fight another day if you get
a 61 ish percent push in phase one everybody lifts the boss is dead that
is extremely dead if we can get there to the end of the fight with everybody
alive if we can drop those essences in the middle of the room rather than
having some on the outside that's an extra five or ten seconds that you
get while that ring is closing in before it contacts one of those essences and wipes you.
Yeah, we just had death coming out of that spread too. It might have been Jernako or Exile
that dropped it when they came out. There's just so little room to move after that final Nova
when you have 12 essences going out there too. Plus, you're trying to save as much space as
possible to have a clear spot for the boss, like tank him and fight him for that last,
I guess, 20-ish seconds you ever take, but there's just nowhere to go, right?
Yeah, you are out of room at that time. It is so nasty. Dude, dodging the web blades
with that little space as well.
Looks unbelievably tight.
Yeah, the rings closing in.
So you've got to pick up your essence,
the rings coming, you have that time pressure,
and then also the floor gets covered all over the place
and you have like a point that you want to move to.
It's so chaotic.
And Scott trying to do God's work,
saving them with that essence,
but the boss was just not low enough.
I mean, they need literally a perfect pull, I think.
Like, they can't have anybody down
for more than a couple seconds.
This is a banger of a fight.
I want to point out to, uh, Boomi is back on the Fury Warrior, he's no longer arms, so they must have thought, maybe I guess the consistency with the hatchlings was worth
Switching some boss damage off, or maybe he wasn't actually doing that much boss damage as arms?
Maybe, maybe they made the call of like, oh my god, we have enough damage, just kill the adds, right? Like that's something that has happened
We've had 50 pulls now since basically they've made that, they thought about swapping them to arms
In that time, players may have optimized more of their damage, and they may be much more comfortable saying, look
We actually don't need the execute here. We just want these adds to die. We want these hatchlings to never wipe us again.
We just want to get to the end of the fight five, ten more times, and then the boss will die. And we've nearly done that now.
Yeah, it could even be something as small as like, oh, now that your arms, I'm having to switch more to them,
and now we're losing boss damage in some other way, and they're just like, this is the most efficient way to do it.
Keep him fury, have him in there destroying those hatchlings.
Yeah, let some other people potentially swap some CDs, something like that.
Yeah, definitely a possibility. I mean they're literally down to like that kind of optimization
That's right
Every little bit. Also, maybe somewhat defensive to fury does have a slightly better defense profile than arms if you don't need to
Perry things which arms can do but fury can't
Let me toss the boss pastry. Who knows?
Yeah, I thought about it swear that creative strategy
Yeah, why not? Yeah, we did it on Kameza. We did do it on Kameza. That's right. Yeah
setting the bar, raising the bar,
a lot of the world first kill here coming up.
Hopefully this pull 403.
I think this is maybe 404.
I think it's 404.
I think you said earlier, actually, yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Pull 404, boss not found.
Yeah, he's been saying that all.
I haven't.
I haven't.
He's been waiting all week.
You know, I've been prepping that one.
That's very good.
I'm proud of you.
Thank you.
I have a good one planned for pull 420 as well if we get there.
I believe that's true.
My prediction actually 420.
Yes, all those has been. I've heard you say it many times.
Yes.
One of my favorite numbers.
It's a good number.
Big fan.
Why is that game? Just... just... I don't know.
Just sounds nice.
Just elegant.
It's a nice combination. It flows well off the tongue, right?
Exactly.
It divides easily.
4 minus 2 is 2. 2 minus 2 is 0.
So it kind of... there's a nice, you know, symmetry to that number.
If you carry the 7 in the 2, it's also 0.
Yes.
Well...
Where did the 7...
Wait, if you... if you do what?
The seven came from the three between the four and the two.
I see.
Oh, okay.
That makes sense.
Yeah.
Yes.
That is the kind of logic that a lot of people whose favorite number is 420 would appreciate,
I think.
I can't put it left.
4 plus 2 is 6.
6 upside down to 9.
It's a 69.
I see.
Yeah.
Delirium now setting in.
We think of math.
Yeah.
All right, speaking of math, we do want to be doing some math on the boss's health
here.
Yes.
Extremely low in phase one. There is a huge morale buff once you know that the only difference
Was the phase one damage that you needed right like if you can get 1.76 percent lower than you did on your bull that ended at
1.76 percent you get this surge of energy. That's like, okay
We just now have to do the exact same things that we've done before and the boss will die with the damage
We've done to this boss. Yep, and that also fuels them
Even like subliminally a little more you've seen them often get close to these kills and find a tiny bit more damage in certain phases on
Chavez at on silking court this fight also being one of the same the boss is 65% now
We're gonna see these quad fronks being pocketed. This boss is gonna be low action this push. We're at 64 already
This might be one of those bowls where you're looking at the boss health and you're like oh wow this is gonna be low
We're sub 63 already. Yeah, I so lock in here 61 point. We're gonna see sub 60
Okay. 61.2 before the second burn. This is 60% territory. Buckle up this. If that was the number they had a couple hours ago, that boss would be dead on the floor already.
This is a lock-in moment chat. We got to lock in. This could be it. Here comes the intermission push. Now, you can't panic here. You can't over-commit on the shield. You also can't under-commit on the shield.
You have to exactly right commit on this shield, get it killed just two seconds or so before that third grip in,
and then do a couple of extra globals.
If those extra globals work out well, we could see a 60.5.
If we see a 60.5 here, you are going to see some players locked in in a way that you would not believe.
Launch cannon, launch, 60.8, 0.7, 0.60, 0.7.
That's very good.
That is exactly the same push they had rivaling their best push yesterday.
This is like new territory, best push coming into phase one.
If this damage exists in phase three or four hours ago, this boss is going to die.
Absolutely.
First though, we need to get through the second phase.
Now this phase has been so brutally difficult.
Even now, 404 pulls into this encounter.
They have not got this phase on lockdown, but they do only need to do it successfully.
more time no time indeed the bait coming on the middle of the room here on
that beam that first set of grips coming right about there at this thing on the
platform lining up his actual CDs perfectly there had taken this first
portal interrupt this next cast the other platform that getting teleported
to the other side here getting dispelled right about their damages super
high on the radio we did we beat the actual push on the second grip and so
we're good here this second platform though is where it gets sketchy this
is that shield of ab with double acolyte set there's very little room
to move here baits to be proper webs to be proper if we can make it
through here, we should hopefully see a good phase 3 push. The raid will be super low off
this grip, the spell is coming in now roughly as well, just about 1 in the back there, some
raid damage coming in. The shield that has just about fallen, it has now fallen. Both
these aclides are left to burn. Once they are burnt, we can beat the second pull in,
pop the bridge. After this pull in actually we should be okay, watch the beam, pull
in spine, we're through, pop the bridge.
Absolutely.
Platform 3.
Alright.
Now to the last platform of B3. The only check before you can escape this, you
You have to make sure you beat the Ascetic Apocalypse cast, which you can see just barely over on that right hand side of the screen,
that boss frame that's great out for Scott right now.
That cast is quite long, it's quite forgiving.
The real danger here is somebody getting clipped by one of these balls,
or messing up the portal dispel mythic mechanic, which is ongoing and is still quite a lot of raid damage,
and single target damage on the players that are going through those portals.
Yeah, we made it through clean though. The boss is 60.7,
So just to clarify last pull that 3% wipe is about 56% when the boss landed after this burn
Let's see how low we can get it 60% starting here on that 15 second RP. Let's see how low we can get this boss
I'm predicting 52. Yeah
We've got Scott here doing just as much as he's not he's not in bare form
But he's in a disguise so he is in there for but it doesn't look like it
55 sub 55% here landing at 54.5
Wow
That is almost the entire difference on that last pole. If they can just avoid a couple of those deaths that they had on that last pole
This boss would be dead with this extra damage. They have found already
Yeah, so we see this first of the hatchlings coming down here right up against that ring of peace
It's still super nerve-wracking to watch as these need to go down quickly here
We have this warrior-swapping specter that Max A will be there with me cleaver on the boss as well being
Stacking top of them the next mechanic we have here are these three acolytes falling dropping three essences on death with this web overlap
Not very pretty elementary at this point, but even missing one essence will still spell disaster for this raid
The first one dying about now boss being moved to the middle as acolyte here as well
Which also is dying moving on to the final one here on X boss array sub 45 percent
This is a record low for the boss at this point three essence on the ground here need to be picked up within about
Five or so seconds for this portals what we have coming now all three are grabbed portals being taken about now
Port it back quick spread here
We're through. Step one is complete drive-out.
Yep, operation kill the boss is so far so good.
Two B-Rezas remain available to Liquid as well if we do have a small disaster.
Of course, we can't afford any kind of big disaster. All three of those essences successfully dropped behind the boss.
Nobody accidentally picks one up. That's another important part of the plan here as we get to our next set of tank mechanic overlap.
Here come those hatchlings that need to be kept from getting into the boss,
but also kept near the boss so that they can get cleaved down efficiently.
The ring of peace expires into the capacitor totem from impact to keep them stunned.
Out of that, a few more stuns, and they're able to get them all taken care of.
Now we have three Royal Condemnation Shackles and four Acolytes that all need to be cleaved down.
This boss will be slowly moved between all of those targets to just keep that single target as optimized as possible.
Yep, circle ad dying here. Moving on to skull and we have one final ad in the far left here.
These four Acolytes also dropping essences here. We're going to have a total of seven essences to carry through this next Nova,
Which means we have one final acklite set afterwards with step one make it through this grab all seven essence as you see
Hey, I have seven seconds here for Nick to grab them before the portal comes out
We're gonna be grabbing right about now portal should already be spawned getting a position here for the essence
I guess that port through moving along going on a bit of a trip here way
Alongside the roof yet she as just grabs his own here, and then he will be rescuing Scott on that guardian
Drew saying super low applying the renewing blaze to both of them
Okay, very nice value we lose saying here. We have two reasons though
We can get saying up it means one less by master stack, but we can still do this world
The boss was very low saying slow again. It would be topped off here
We have a lust being thrown in about 15 seconds here after this third set of tank ed spawns
Which should be about a few seconds here once these die lust will be committed the bosses are a sub 25%
This is incredibly low on this boss. Yes
So much damage is coming out
But first they have to make sure that these hatchlings don't get into the boss without committing too many resources
resources into them the boss then moving to the middle of the room and here comes that bloodlust five
Acolytes now needing to get cleaved down, but they can't afford to switch too much damage onto them
Everybody has to avoid standing on top of one of those essences as well
We were able to make it through all 20 or so life here max boss damage coming in these five acolytes need to be burned here
The last cast we have on hand is killing all five of these grabbing bosses
So low already though.
10% at this point.
Grab the essences, take the portal, do it properly,
and this boss is likely toast.
Can we see it here?
Yeah, two B-Rezes now available for them,
but we can't afford to lose anybody still from this point
because we just need all of that damage to kill this boss.
The portal is down.
12 essences need to get picked up
and taken through that portal,
or else it will still be a wipe.
7% on the boss now,
as we're gonna see all the players heading over to the-
Wait in the back, he's saving the raid!
Take the portal!
He goes and grabs the essence in the middle of nowhere and gets through this portal to prevent a white 4% of the boss.
Sub 5% of this boss here. We hit about 10 seconds of the boss and Rage is coming to the sub 4%.
Everything you have saying is down to get a red light here. Sub 3% of this boss.
And there we go. 3% on the boss. The ring cast hasn't even started yet. They have so much damage.
Sub 2, no way!
One, one, one.
THD saved that pole of that essence and saved so compared to the last one before.
He knows what he's done.
There it is!
World first!
There it is!
World first!
Queen and Shrek claim just at the end of the raid as well.
Oh my dear.
Wow.
Last goal of the night as well.
What are the chances?
It's the point we call!
As for the point we call then!
We knew all along, let's be honest here.
Incredible.
What a performance from Team Liquid this year.
They have just dominated through all of these bosses.
Truly a step ahead of every opponent.
the hugs come out all around and now one important thing I haven't been able to
see has dry me received a hug from team liquid maximum just yet has that
already happened has he been denied once more I'm sure he got him you had
gone to try me for I mean the first thing is they had so much damage that
pull they did they have like 5% more damage they could have done this
boss yesterday we were talking about it being impossible and today it not
only looked possible it looked like a cakewalk for them as oh was that the
dryness they're getting the hug yeah I think it was yeah right this was
literally in his off 2.0 we said it was impossible 25% 20% where does the boss
die zero seems insurmountable yet they found the damage throughout what 404
poles they made the impossible possible world first Queen Antrek ball of
a team liquid just at the tick of midnight. Yeah, exactly. We all we wanted to wait until
Sunday, of course, after day. That's right. The statistics. Yeah. Oh, no. I got to buy
Taco Bell. Oh, big Jesus for the whole raid. I think actually you had that for full 400.
So you're not you're not going to be held to that cams. Oh goodness. Maybe some charcuterie.
Ah, yes.
I cannot believe how well they played this tier.
Like stunning performance from everybody.
Every single boss as well.
Yeah, I cannot believe it.
Just so ahead of the competition.
I want to see a replay of that THD gate at some point.
That was potentially the best play you've ever been made on a world first kill.
You've seen some incredible plays, but that play quite literally saved that bowl.
Yeah, I don't know if he was assigned to something.
I'm going to have to get the story from him, but yeah, man.
Did he put a cell port down also?
I think he had a circle, but I don't know how it happened.
It was all blur.
It was a Soulburn Demonic Gateway into the actual.
What a gamer.
Yeah, he saw it across the room, literally saved the pole,
secured the world first, Queen and Charette kill.
Liquid was in a commanding lead for most of this race.
And the question was, through everything
this boss threw at us, what seemed
to be insurmountable DPS checks, incredible HPF checks,
three acolytes in the four and the five.
What seemed impossible, they were able to work through,
albeit 404 pulls like new rivaling,
maybe this tradeup being probably the hardest M boss
we've seen in modern, wow.
I think it is.
It looks almost elementary.
I think this is gonna go down in history
as one of the most impressive displays of optimization
and pure raw individual gameplay from these 20 players.
Yeah, I've seen a lot of bosses in my day
and this one, it made me think,
oh, this is impossible.
This is actually impossible.
Yeah, but they found a way, they got all the,
everybody being positive was right.
They found the damage, they just inched out
percent by percent, and man, that,
yeah, they made that kill.
I mean, it froze up at the end,
I don't know if the Nova cast even got off.
Yeah, a little bit of a, I had a heart that could
be very exciting.
His face here, what's happening?
Where's Cogin?
That reminds me a bit of the N'Zoth kill.
Get a splash of a key right now.
Oh, that's good.
I'm not leaving his friends,
That's what we'd like to see, a little bit of mythic plus keystones.
They actually cut to his POV earlier.
He was trash farming with his EU guild, but doing a hero exploit with liquid.
I see.
He's committed to the cause.
That's incredible.
Look at him poor guy.
That reminds me of THD, Farming Islands, after a world first back in Nailotha.
Wow.
Man, truly an incredible performance out of all the races I've seen.
I mean, I keep saying it, I don't think we've seen a force as dominant as this tears liquid.
I just don't they were ahead from day one.
The innovative the kind business rat making it a one-tank kill every year below that innovated
or I guess copy the innovation.
Well, I guess I had some different strategies as well.
It did.
Yeah, it did.
But the one tank in particular, there was a liquid special Scott lay my damn.
Yeah, the rules are gone now.
There's no rules about when an M can be drank anymore.
The race is over.
The leader is pleased.
Absolutely.
Wow, just incredible.
I would agree.
I think this has been the most dominant performance
since Echo's Zeppelker and Liquid's Nialotha back in the day.
But this race has been just so good for them.
Every single boss has felt like they have played up
to their potential.
This boss, most of all, what a performance.
I can't think of a bad day.
Normally, there's a day that's a little down.
And even against the grind of something
Kivesa against this in Rage grind they just kept going at it, kept making
improvements, kept getting better and better and better and yeah they have
deserved this win this was incredible. The best, best World of Warcraft play I
think I've ever seen. Absolutely. Alright, run it back.
Next tier. Wait, what? Next tier. Let's go.
