yeah they are speed running through the raids, because everyone has access to add-ons, remove add-ons and all these " high end raiders " wouldn't even make it to the end bosses.
Hey I think there is some sort of mistake. The leaderboard is mostly blue? That can't be right...
I have one quote in mind, Akama's, adapted: I prefer to remember the game as it used to be, not the abomination it has become.
@zuthyx Blessing of Salvation allows for Alliance players to go completely all out with their DPS without worrying about pulling aggro while Horde players are often threat capped, and thus cannot do their maximum potential DPS, there are also other factors but this one is pretty big!
I think speedrunning a Vanilla raid with world buffs is way more fun than wiping 100 times on someone like Ghuun (which is when I stopped playing BfA).There's something on the line in Classic and if you die, you lose your world buffs and you lose your one shot per week. World buffs also make the way to the dungeon interesting and offer lots of organic open world PvP. My guild has made "pacts" with Horde guilds so we don't attack each other, and we have grudges with other guilds where we frequently try to blow up raids. It's pretty tense. Meanwhile Retail is "eat, wipe, rezz, repeat" until you miraculously have a try where nobody $%^&s up and you're rewarded with the same items that you already have in +10 itemlevels.
Shout out to big streamers whining about retail being just about the speed of cleaning content and not enjoying leveling.Meanwhile they went full retard on the leveling in 3 days and speedrun any content of the vanilla game."tHe NuMbErs, tHeY aRe hUgE !"
"Many players realized that raids aren't quite as difficult as they might have remembered", uh?Maybe because raids have a quite heavy nerf beign based on 1.12 patch. When raids should be based on their launch values.Zul'Gurub is even more nerfed, for some reason that my guildmates and me still don't know...
It's amazing how the 'ClAsSiC wAs HaRdEr' crowd have disappeared with their tails between their legs...
Though I am not against speed running (it can be fun), I am not really fond of how it has become the meta, and how it's now assumed nearly all raiding guilds are stacking fury warrs. Theorycrafting for all classes now only accounts for this meta too, which is honestly a letdown to the entire community, as this isn't something a vast majority of raiding guilds do.I will say I am excited to see how many wannabes lose their world buffs on AQ40 trash because they didn't account for it. Obviously the top guilds know what they're doing, but the followers don't.
