While many players are still chewing on “Mythic+10” in WoW, the first group is already tackling Mythic+20 – the result was clear.
While Christmas is usually a time for reflection, there are some players in World of Warcraft who want nothing to do with it. They are breaking record after record and have now reached another milestone. The first dungeon on the difficulty “Mythic+20” has been mastered – and the players still had almost 5% of the time remaining, meaning they could have taken it a bit slower.
What happened? The first players have completed a dungeon on the difficulty “Mythic+20” within the time limit in WoW: Shadowlands. This was the case in Tirna Scithe, one of the two dungeons in Ardenweald. Tirna Scithe is considered one of the easiest dungeons in terms of adhering to the time limit, but a “+20” stone is still a massive challenge. The group consisted of:
- Vengeance Demon Hunter (Radspaper)
- Restoration Shaman (Furo)
- Fire Mage (Brainx)
- Affliction Warlock (Eddielock)
- Outlaw Rogue (Seliathan)
Here you can see the final moments of the run:
How did the group achieve this? On one hand, the group consists of very good players who also have strong gear. All of them had an item level between 210 and 217, which is currently close to the achievable maximum.
On the other hand, the team is also using some of the strongest “meta classes” that are particularly well suited for dungeons right now. Demon Hunters as tanks are extremely popular, as are Shamans as healers and Fire Mages as DPS. All these classes are currently considered very dominant in Mythic Keystone dungeons.
Night Fae provide additional bonuses: Additionally, it helped that the group had a Night Fae player. This allowed them to take a small shortcut at the beginning and gain access to special mushrooms that temporarily increase attributes by 10% – an important buff for the first boss and the subsequent maze with many trash mobs. Such small advantages exist for all covenants in 2 of the 8 dungeons.
By the way, the group is not a “one-hit wonder”; they are already known for their records. On the Raider.io they currently hold 11 of the 20 hardest keystone records, although they occasionally change their group composition a bit. However, the core team is always the same.
What keystones have you been able to complete within the time limit?
The final boss Tred’ova is quite a troll – sometimes she just ports players out of the dungeon!
