In today's RWF recap video, Dratnos and Tettles cover the last 24 hours which have mostly revolved around Tindral Sageswift. Echo joined Liquid on the boss early in their raid day, quickly dispatching Smolderon to remain competitive and making very quick progress through the first phase of T-Swift.
Echo made some good use of Prophetic Stonescales, which they farmed last patch on M0, on 5 of their DPS players to see deeper into the fight, plus they had the benefit of Liquid's progress to look at.
Tindral has proven to be an incredibly difficult boss on Mythic, due to new mechanics, Mythic changes that prevent the Heroic strategies from working, and the boss casting so many abilities back to back. The fight, however, was very well received by the RWF players, who praised its design and, from both Liquid and Echo, asked for it to not receive any nerfs.
Blizzard has nerfed the fight though, taking 20% of the bosses' health off and also nerfing the Seeds (but only in P3). Dratnos and Tettles agree that this change is well aimed to shave difficulty off the fight while not invalidating progress that has already been made or tipping the scales in the race, though they empathize with the players who hoped to see it unchanged until it was killed.
