Mythic Sylvanas

What a whirlwind of a tier. It was such a race we just didn't write up any posts for any of the bosses. What do you convey when the fights are so short-lived? At any rate... the tier is officially over! We defeated Sylvanas after 93 pulls. Overall I think we did pretty well. We could have shortened several prog fights with cleaner play for sure though. Despite not meeting Hall of Fame (for week 5, which is unheard of) we learned a lot. There is no improvement without some struggle.
Generally very disappointed in Blizzard's inability to tune Mythic properly these days. We wish they would stop introducing crazy power gains every tier that they don't account for in raid tuning. We historically make up most of our time deficit versus the competition in long-pull boss encounters, which there was maybe two of this tier.
The state of the game isn't great, but despite everything we had a blast this tier. We just wish it would have put up more of a challenge!
Time for some shoutouts...

Team 8 is moving along steadily! We made quick work of farm to give us a full night of progression - spending 35 pulls to down Remnant of Ner’Zhul! Big Shoutout to @Abyssal and @Goldshireho for handling all the mass dispels on the fight and the team for coming together to refine the finer points of strategy.
We were able to keep up that momentum right into the following week - An incredibly quick reclear (10/10 H and 4/10 M) on Tuesday left all of Thursday to jump into progress. Soulrender Dormazain fell in 12 pulls! Awesome preparation across the team led to the quick kill. Another big shoutout to @Deva & @Goldshireho for completely rerolling toons (Blood DK and WW Monk) to make this boss significantly easier! Also a big shout out to @Abyssal for being our 21st man and doing call-outs for us!
Onto Painsmith and the first true hard boss this tier! We couldn’t be more excited to continue...

Mythic Tarragrue / Eye / The Nine

Team 8 has been chugging along steadily, enjoying a progression kill every session since the start of the tier. While Tarragrue is pretty forgettable, the powers you can use are kind of fun. Eye is a solid second boss with simple mechanical/number checks. The Nine was a bit underwhelming (heroic with one more dispel?) but it's a pretty cool theme for an encounter. I do think it could have been further into the instance allowing it to be a bit more formidable. If you're looking for a motivated and chill group to raid with we're recruiting!

We downed this in 44 pulls. Honestly it took us a bit longer than I think it should have, but you gotta have a boss that really wakes you up for progression and this was it. We've almost got Nerzhul down and I expect us to be on Painsmith this coming Monday, the first true hard boss this tier. Fortunately we're historically very good with execution/control fights so really looking forward to it!
