In this post, we’ll update the score required to earn the Cryptic Hero title for Shadowlands Season 3. As a reminder, the title will go to all players who end Shadowlands Mythic+ Season 3 with a Mythic+ Rating in the top 0.1% in each region.
Updated September 7
In this region, if Season 3 ended today, the title would go to those who scored at least:
In EU, 2 guardians druid are eligible for title rn
Meanwhile in EU, 295 blood DKs will get the title as of now .
Im not saying those “worse” specs should get title with less rating od be treated differently , but saying a lot of people did it with bad spec is kinda wrong
Well I have a list of the amount of people who are currently within the cutoff, without being a part of the usual meta comp.
3 dks (not blood)
51 dhs
23 druids
1 bm hunter
3 mm hunters
98 mages
51 brewmaster monks
2 mw monks
57 paladins
1 shadowpriest
2 discpriests
126 rogues
166 shamans
37 warrior
So yes, some specs are worse than others but I’d say that’s a lot of people.
It’s also magnified by the fact that most great players tend to go towards the better specs.
It is after all an achievement that not many people will get, so it makes sense that it takes a lot to get it but to blame a bad spec is kinda lazy. I’d somewhat accept that excuse if you ended up 5 points below the cutoff on the last day but if you’re only 3k score or whatever, that’s not your spec.
Like i said , it dont want to change it , and ofc dont make it for 3k , thats uber low for such achiev .
But look at those numbers 51dhs , while not meta exactly it boost both surv and dlock and still providing some nice dmg .
166 shamans , how many are resto? Also ele/enh are both very fine, not meta but far from bad specs .
Monk/pala has both quite good tank specs ( brn second best? ) so yea
Rogues…well, we all know why they are there right ? No other class has such control .
98 mages , guess there is like 3, arcane maybe ?
If u look at those bad specs, like one i mentioned , the numbers are there . People are definitely held back by their specs ( not 3k rio people) and the inbalance is unhealthy af.
So if u aint meta, and u are getin achiev , u most likely held your team back which is sad imho because u either rerol or whole team “suffers”
I fully agree that the balance is off and if you’re a very off-meta spec, you’re definitely holding your team back. The game will never be even close to balanced. It can’t have as much variety as it has without also being unbalanced.
But yeah you’d have to work harder in order to get the title if you’re off-meta but that’s a choice everyone has to make for themselves. Either you work hard by being a “bad” spec or you work hard to always be a good or decent spec
So the latest update regarding the required score was done today on Tuesday, 2nd of August around 07:00 CET time. And of course our dear “Blue poster” puts Updated August 1, completely disregarding the European time zone and EU-wow forums in general. Next time please assign a person that actually lives in our time zone or at least respects the time zone difference.
