While there are a great deal of highs and lows throughout this tier, I think above and beyond everything, Nefarian definitely has to be mentioned as the stand out encounter for our guild. Both Normal and Heroic Nefarian, as well as the achievement, had that great sense of difficulty but controllable chaos that makes a strong encounter stand out above the rest.
That said, given that we're moving onto a new tier this week (though we'll still be going back to finish Sinestra), I thought it might be interesting to have a look back at Tier 11 through the magical world of numbers, therefore, below you will find some of the more interesting stats for Vox raiding throughout this tier!
Total Raids: 77 raids
Total Raid Hours: 261.8 hours
Total Boss Kills: 309 kills
Total Wipes: 1611 wipes
Average Kills Per Raid: 4 kills
Average Wipes Per Raid: 21 wipes
KPH (Kills Per Hour): 1.18 KPH
WPH (Wipes Per Hour): 6.15 WPH
Total Raid Hours: 261.8 hours
Total Boss Kills: 309 kills
Total Wipes: 1611 wipes
Average Kills Per Raid: 4 kills
Average Wipes Per Raid: 21 wipes
KPH (Kills Per Hour): 1.18 KPH
WPH (Wipes Per Hour): 6.15 WPH
Some pretty silly numbers all around, but now let's take a gander at some more specific, boss-oriented stats, like for starters, the relative difficulty (for Vox) of the various Normal and Heroic bosses prior to our first kill:
Easiest Normal Boss: Magmaw (4 attempts)
Hardest Normal Boss: Nefarian (55 attempts)
Easiest Heroic Boss: Atramedes (11 attempts)
Hardest Heroic Boss: Nefarian (189 attempts)
It should come to no surprise that the achievements also range very wildly, though I must admit that it certainly felt like Stay Chill took far more attempts than it actually did in reality.
Easiest Achievement: Tie Parasite Evening & Achieve-a-tron (0 attempts/accidental)
Hardest Achievement: Stay Chill (61 attempts)
Hardest Achievement: Stay Chill (61 attempts)
This one also says a lot, as it shows which bosses were the easiest/hardest for us to farm, or repeatedly kill. It's worth noting that this doesn't include bosses we only killed once and thus never farmed for obvious reasons, but still somewhat amusing and how random those crazy dragons could be!
Easiest Heroic Farm (Fewest Post-First Kill Wipes): Halfus (7 wipes)
Hardest Heroic Farm (Most Post-First Kill Wipes): Double Dragons (51 wipes)
Hardest Heroic Farm (Most Post-First Kill Wipes): Double Dragons (51 wipes)
Finally, here's the full list of wipes we saw across all bosses over the course of this tier. It should come as no surprise that encounters with difficult achievements like Conclave and Cho'gall have inflated overall numbers, but even still we can clearly see that Nefarian takes the prize by a huge margin in both Normal and Heroic categories. Also we certainly had a greater number of wipes just due to opportunity on earlier bosses that we spent more time farming, but I admit even I'm surprised at some of the attempts for first kills on some bosses. It seems very strange that Heroic: Chimaeron took us more attempts than Al'Akir, Double Dragons, Cho'gall, or Omnotron, all of which felt like much harder fights to get that first kill. Also while Heroic: Neferian clearly takes the cakes in quantity, both Heroic: Conclave and Heroic: Twilight Council were much more uncontrolled fights and victories.
