Rest in peace Paragon. Massive respect to my fellow countrymen and one of the best guilds in World of Warcraft's history. Had to watch this after hearing about the guilds quitting.. you will always be legends and the history remains.
Ternadil Bloody Idiot. The reason why they did quit now is be cause they couldn't find enough people from Finland that were good enough and at the same time able to commit so much time to the game during an raid tier, heard they had 7 out of 22 players currently that could commit to it. So they decided it's better not to force it, not be cause they lost 2 tiers to Method.
TheTripol What if i told you, that i heard this information from one of the Paragon player himself? Ok, it was wrong to say that "they are bad losers", when the only bad loser is their GM.
I still hate al akir. Nothing wrong with the fight, just that he doesn't drop his headpiece, shoulders, cape or sword! He has the most epic gear in the game!
slimaneron ah? This was posted in 2014 how come it was 5 years ago? 5 years ago cata wasnt even here x). Anyways just said it was a normal play from hunters
oh yeah cata was that long ago dam. But yeah the boss was hard but the trick he used to desingage like that has been used way before this. Specially in Blade Edge arena map. I mean ..its a pretty standart thing since wratch tbh o.O
It sucks that Cataclysm as a whole sucked because the final bosses of each raid were epic in their own sense. MOP kind of lost that epic feeling in boss fights. Except for the fight with Lei Shen the Thunder King. But yeah Cataclysm easily had the most epic boss fights. I mean this one for example. This fight takes place in THE SKY. I mean how awesome is that?
Santiago Quintas I hope fighting Grommash. I'd love to see them use his same kit from WC3 like the mirror images, bladestorm, etc. None of that whirlwind crap Garrosh did in SoO I mean like an actual storm or something like what happened in WC3. That'd be so great.
shaardy qt Algalon was before they became a top guild, deathwing was due to the bans, cho gall wasn't the last boss and archi was "unfair" because method used an op macro. Remember that the guy i responded to said that leaving people out for the first phase was cheating
+tompatompsson method didnt use a macro, they used a WA. thats not unfair at all, paragon lost absolutly deserved. Algalon was their 1st raidtier were they were famous, they got world 2nd i think. And they also got banned completly justified. im not a method fanboy, bith guilds deserve their spot in wow history, but the Statement that they never lost is just completly untrue.
nbdb At the time you could only use disengage whilst in combat, so using it to get where you wanted to be was a thinking outside the box idea, today it is commonplace
we sucked back in T11 but the tier was excellent. despite having quite a few bugged bosses, it took us a while to see them anyway. not really any "bad" fights in that tier. pretty much enjoyed all 12 of them until we got to twilight council hc...
PBG Dave While my guild wasn't able to down Al'akir even on normal and we only got 2 bosses down heroic (halfus and chimeron) i completely agree. So much fun in every raid and actually a challenge. this tier we're on now at least in foundry is pretty good as well but i'll always cherish Blackwing Descent and Bastion of Twilight!
Aaron Bachle i remember us struggling like crazy because we only formed in T10 so just getting 10 competent raiders together was a pain. we still had the dead weight we used to form the guild in the first place, but i remember after weeks of ballache we got normal nef/hc halfus down in same night and hc halfus was a 2 shot which was amazing. i remember how stupidly overtuned halfus was on normal 10 man in first week or 2. you literally oomed after 10 seconds on healing. broken
Finland, Finland, Finland, The country where I want to be, Eating breakfast or dinner, Or snack lunch in the hall. Finland, Finland, Finland. Finland has it all. You're so sadly neglected And often ignored, A poor second to Belgium, When going abroad. Finland, Finland, Finland, The country where I quite want to be, Your mountains so lofty, Your treetops so tall. Finland, Finland, Finland. Finland has it all.
@MrIjijijijjiji Respawning floors is not clever use of game mechanics, while I dont think ensidia should have been banned they are 2 different things. Exploiting a gamebreaking mechanic and stacking highest dot tick dps is not the same thing.
At 0:57 i was like no no no what are you doing you dumb ass?!?!?! But then the disengage at 0:59, i was like.. o_O how skillful wasnt that? Never thought on doing that before. Devai 4 president!
I once heard Rogerbrown talking about how shocked everyone was for this boss in particular, because p1 was so broken that everyone just assumed that they would wait until a hotfix to continue progging, and back then the top guilds were very secretive so nobody even knew that Paragon had discovered a way to solve p1 let alone the entire fight
Another fact that i do shitty dps is that survivals ramp up time is bad, as ranged i needed to shoot adds on p2. Al'akir have stacking debuff so he takes over 100% extra damage in the end(all melees stay on boss so they do twice the damage). Keep my raptor strike glyph on so i can actually take the acid rain damage AND i need to stay on aspect of the wild in order to give raid +180 nature resistance. In P3 i don't have pet at all cause it drops to oblivion and despawns. continues...
I needed to replace my bracer enchant with Fur lining: Nature resistance and i coudn't use flask in order to get prismatic elixir (to give me more NR. It was -130 agi from bracer enchant - 300 agi from flask = 430 agi decrease). I was also first on ranged dps. I know that some of the players where waiting p2 to get in to the fight.(who are also killing adds on p2). So please, if you have something to add...
I wonder why... Every guild is copying the music from paragon's videos. They dont even bother puting songs that fit to what's happening in the fight. Unlike paragon they just pick two stepps from hell and they think that they've made the best choice. First the spine of deathwing world first has few songs from tsfh randomly put in the video and it was as a whole awful soundtrack. And now blood legion did the same on their mandess kill... Now lets take a look at paragon's al'akir video?EPIC!
@mrpavel018 no, when this patch was live ele shammys were utterly and horrible underpowered as a dps class. Much like retripaladins were. When cata came the balance of power tipped a bit and resto shamans became the nono-for a guild searching for world firsts. Mainly due to the limitations the class' spells put on the healer. Why take class X when class Y provides a better chance for a successful kill
@bloodpuremager Well, it can't be classfied as an exploit because: A. It's against the terms and they would have got banned for it. B. If it was an exploit, blizzard is smart enough to to fix it. There was an exploit during 3.3 when a guild got the worlds LK kill using a exploit, and they got banned for a week. Point to my comment: You can't really call that an exploit, that's just Paragon being smart and working around the mechanics.
@Heavencrafter I agree with you there that it isn't that imba but I bet also that your mates have done it on 10 man and they say it's piss easy... I've done it by myself aswell but 25man hc is abit different thing... I am not saying that he needs to be fucking superman but it demands skills and xp on playing hunter or just if you are generally better than avarage you can do it without problems.
@Patchumz Faceroll class? Are you trolling? I said NOTHING about the encounter. All I was saying was that every single comment is about how epic the hunter is, but I dont see whats epic about a disengage back on a ledge. He goes off, he jumps back on. Where is the "epic" in that? Sure its during a world 2nd kill, but chances are he hit that EVERY single shot and got some but missed some.
@Patchumz You jump off a ledge and press a button to get back on? Whats epic about that? Hunters do that all the time in arenas between ledges. Hell, if you have seen the Tripple D video the hunter jumps off a ledge (that would kill you) and disengages INTO a small door opening to LOS someone. Grats on the kill but nothing epic about pressing a single button that every hunter should have bound.
