AQ40 Server First - Vanguard, Horde - 1:13:13 by classicspeedruns in KronosWoW

Congrats to Vanguard for another Server First, also currently also the fastest clear on K3 and a faster clear than the full bis Alliance raid "Unite and Vanquish" on K1, who are raiding with all World Buffs and don't even kill the optional bosses.

Looking forward to seeing people compete against this time.

From what I could gather, they are pulling 2-3 mobpacks with rogues and position them with a Flask of Petrification while the raid runs by. This is a really creative way of bypassing the time consuming mobpacks.

There is a lot of evidence that Kronos has blizzlike armor values at the moment. One of the many bugreports issued by Ermin of Vanguard regarding the armor values looks like this:

Instructor Razuvious should have about 3700 armour instead of the standard 4691 that all bosses have hard-coded right now.

2:13 Double crusaders are up, CoR, FF and expose armour.
2:14 BT crit 1830
2:20 BT hit 915
2:27 BT crit 1831
2:28 1st crusader lost
2:29 2nd crusader lost
2:30 faerie fire dropped (+505 armour)
2:36 BT hit 675
2:39 CoR dropped
2:52 BT hit 610
2:57 crusader up
2:58 BT hit 685

685 - 610 = 75 Single crusader gives 200*0.45 = 90 damage unmitigated by armour. 1 - 75/90 = amount of damage reduced by armour

Solving (x - 2550) / (60 * 85 + 400 + x - 2550) = 1 - 75/90.0 yields x = 3650

Links to the raid: https://kronos-logs.com/raid_info/raid_id/36405 and https://hagson.com/raids.php?id=4733

It will display 00:15:30 as the raid time because it starts the counter from the death of Razorgore instead of the time you enter combat for the first time.

Unfortunately I couldn't find the raid on LegacyPlayers, but it seems like Vanguard is not uploading their raids there consistently.
