    He's protected by something far more devious and powerful: The Holidays & New Years.

    Regulos isn't dying until at least sometime in mid-Jan assuming its bug-free. Later if he isn't.

    I don't know about your guild, but sporting 20 progression raiders through the holidays isn't gonna happen for us.

    A lot of the reasoning behind calling Matriarch "overtuned" was a failure of theorycrafting (among all guilds, not any in particular). Now that people understand the fight better, you're seeing low 5-minute kills. Yes, the healing was nerfed a bit, but even your original kill was just over 6 minutes before nerfs. You started understanding the fight better, adjusted the strat slightly, and killed it way before enrage.

    Likewise, I think any guild currently on Regulos has not painted a full picture of the fight. There is a lot to be learned/polished.

    I think without broken chloros and warriors the kills would have been far more close (if possible at all).

    Didn't help that I looked at the DPS all of the top raids were doing the day before the patch hit and completely retuned Matriarch around it purely via napkin math.
    But hey I like the status she's in now!

    So, based on your napkin math, is the state Regulos is in possible based on the numbers you guys are collecting?

    Contrary to popular belief, the actual number of no-life end game raiders is fairly small.

    Not to be confused with gamers with no jobs and/or other responsibilities.

    Unfortunately not everyone can just quit their job to raid

    Might like to take a look at small groups farming the first mini boss for the crafting mat and selling them for ridiculous amounts of money, 3-5 people should not be able to step foot inside Endless Eclipse and farm progs all day

    They are locking themself from being able to join another instance of the raid to actually progress in it, so I don't really see the issue. As soon as you get the mat you are locked

    The alts still need to be able to kill the mobs, in which case they aren't far off from being able to progress themselves

    Personally I think it's fine because we already have way more of the other two mats, which would be useless if we couldn't get an equal number of Souls of the Dead

    That's a mini-boss? I thought it was all just trash.
