DurendilLeHunt Solo Beast Mastery Hunter Victory over Tindral Sageswift

wowhead.com:

DurendilLeHunt has released a new video featuring their 12-minute victory over Tindral Sageswift, surviving seeds, shields, and enrage to take down the raid boss completely solo!

Although this may be normal difficulty, Tindral is no simple encounter, with several group mechanics that are often considered instant-wipes if not handled properly, each of which requiring careful consideration for a solo player to survive. Check out the log for the encounter, as well as their own detailed account in overcoming the complex fight requirements below.

This boss deals immense damage, so I kept trying to survive for longer and longer, having no idea if it was possible or if I could manage the dps for the enrage. And with 9 seeds and 9 DoT in the fight, with varying timers between them, that meant countless permutations of 9 defensives with varying cooldowns, some of which are wasted if used together.
I spent 20% of my time on this boss analyzing my tries and theorycrafting the RT note on the left on an Excel spreadsheet.

And it was fun.

Seeds dealt 95% of my health (700k damage + 600k absorb) and the DoT also dealt 95% of my health (1M3 over 35 seconds). Plus 45% per « subphase » from the rest.

Phase 3 was 7 subphases, each dealing 235% of my health, each around 52 seconds. And BM hunter has notoriously bad self-sustain, since pets deal 70% of our damage, and leech only works on the hunter’s damage.

So the entire progress was :
— survive the next DoT / seeds
— die because I don’t have the right CD rotation
— add a line or two to the Excel spreadsheet with the next DoT / seeds
— optimize the defensive cooldown rotation (RT note)
— try out the new rotation, see how it works
— adapt rotation until I survive longer

So first I had to survive the 7:30 mark.

Then I got stuck at 8:40 for a while until I also optimized my self-healing. Then I had to find a way to survive the 9:50 mark..
