The Queue: Movin’ right along

Huntsman has been hunted! My guild got Mythic Huntsman last night, after a couple of em-bear-assing wipes that certainly weren’t caused by an overeager bear forgetting a Very Important Mechanic. Now that Huntsman is no more it’s time to move on to the next hardest boss in Castle Nathria checks notes — Heroic Sire Denathrius??

It turns out that the difficulty curve of Nathria is a little disjointed. Mythic Shriekwing and Mythic Huntsman are both considered easier than Denathrius. Which after having pulled him 18 times and only barely having a handle on what’s going on in his second phase — I understand why people say that. There’s so much damage going out, while he’s throwing everything and the kitchen sink at you. We haven’t even reached the final phase where the fun really begins! I’m looking forward to the satisfaction that comes when we finally dust him.

In the meantime, I take you now to — The Queue.


The Queue: It begins!

Shriekwing? More like Death-wing, amirite? Wait…

My raid just got our first Mythic Shriekwing kill and it feels pretty great. We’ve spent maybe a little more time in lower difficulties getting gear than we necessarily needed, but now we’re getting some real progress! After Shriek we went and took a look at the Huntsman and his Dogs, and they wound up taking us for a walk. I think we’ll be able to get it with a bit more practice, but it was nice seeing that it wasn’t a gigantic step up in difficulty from Shriek. The funniest part to me is that both Mythic Shriekwing and Huntsman are supposedly easier than Heroic Denathrius. So we’ve started in on Mythic without putting the final nail in his coffin.

While I read up on some strategies for the next few bosses, it’s time for — The Queue.
