[Progression Journal] BioBall does Highmaul - 7/7M
For those of you who don't know me, I am BioBall from Silence on Silvermoon EU. I come from Johannesburg, South Africa and I raid on 200ms
I started playing WoW during WOTLK when I rolled a Holy Paladin. My recent raiding exp have been on a Boomkin during Cata and Mage from SoO onwards.
Silence finished Tier 16 25Man at #47 West and #18 EU English all while primarily raiding 4 days a week.
During SoO I stubbornly held onto Frost for as long as I could and ended up with an overall rank #4 as Frost and #38 as Arcane during 25 Man Heroic farm.
We are aiming to go relatively hard with Highmaul release and as such we've prepared 3 toons each to maximize the amount of gear that is funneled to Mains and hence giving us as large an advantage on Mythic as we can get.
As it stands, we have completed Highmaul normal and Heroic gearing and managed 3 clears on normal and 20 boss kills on Heroic (We consolidated the 3 groups to 2 on Mar'Gok and Ko'Ragh).
My toons listed below:
BioBall
BioGnop
BioLock
We have been focusing primarily on pulling through sub-par geared alts on our runs so ranks haven't been high on the agenda. We've been trying to just get mechanics sorted as much as possible but these are the logs for our kills so far:
BioBall Logs
Silence Logs
As the US run through the first few hours of Mythic progression, I feel content that we've done what we can in preparation for our first raids tonight
BioBall is on 661 ilvl and the guild is overall sitting on 660.23 and while ilvl is obviously not all it's about, the higher geared we start off with, the easier the progression will be when we hit the DPS check bosses.
I haven't bothered uploading new kill videos for 6.0 but I will start recording Mythic tonight and upload once we kill the bosses. I will post these on my Youtube Channel

As a fellow Silvermoon-ite, this is one progression journal that I look forward to following. Good luck on the Mythic progression.

We decided to clear Normal and Hc again for one of the groups before pulling the first boss.
4th pull we killed it - A little helter skelter but it's down
We are clearing Hc with the Second group and then coming back tomorrow

So this fight was all about avoiding damage for us and I was struggling with Crystal so I switched to TV. Not 100% happy with my damage, but happy that we got it down.
Onwards to BrackenSpore! We've called it a night but have had a 30% wipe so it's going down soon

Hey mate,
I just checked you kargath kill video to watch a fellow frost mage have a go at it.
Do you have a razor naga or are you seriously pressing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ?

I only really use 1-4 on my keyboard - 5 and 6 are keybound to F and R.Hey mate,

I use a Logitech G700 that also has keys bound.

It's been a while since I've updated this thread.
As it happens, I got sat out on BrackenSpore and Tectus for stronger cleave classes and those subsequently fell.
Last night Ko'rath went down and we have now started on Butcher
Screenies etc on it's way!

What did you play on Ko'ragh? Did you do any soaking?
Re: [Progression Journal] BioBall does Highmaul - 5/7M
Yeah I stuck with Frost and soaked the second shields.What did you play on Ko'ragh? Did you do any soaking?
Log here: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/jH ... Z#fight=15" target="_blank
We ended up with a loose stacking tactic and the boss being on the outer circles so that melee don't lose too much dps when he does the supression fields.
I stopped DPS after the 3rd shield came back up since the boss was low on physical and we wouldn't break the 3rd shield before he died. I just focused on soaking at that point.
The biggest thing with this fight is magic vs physical damage balance. You need to aim to have the shields break when there's nothing else happening... No frost, shadow or MC. When we got that balance right, we killed it fairly easily in the end.

Would be great if you could post a Mythic Brackenspore video I'm having some trouble optimizing my DPS there. Your Twin Ogron video was very helpful!
Re: [Progression Journal] BioBall does Highmaul - 5/7M
Update - Butcher down! After some Christmas break time and two clears extra Butcher went down with the water strat after 5 pulls last night!
Between the first and second week of Mythic progression I decided to reload my PC and I've not installed fraps again... Will try and remember to set it up again and post some new vidsWould be great if you could post a Mythic Brackenspore video I'm having some trouble optimizing my DPS there.

Re: [Progression Journal] BioBall does Highmaul - 7/7M
And finally after 170 odd wipes on a 4 night raiding schedule we have downed Imperator
We had some roster challenges this tier as well as our Christmas break making sure that we don't get in the top200.
We actually killed it the previous reset but I had planned a weekend away before progress started based on our expected progression and ended up missing the first kill.
Onwards to BRF!
