"I am Lei Shen slayer of kings and gods" That line still gives me chills to this day.

[@mklperu]

Coming back almost every year to see this video. It reminds me of so many things it brings tears to my eyes. Best roster + best raid + best expansion imho!

[@Nillowo]

I agree with everything you said. I also come back to methods mop videos every so often and it almost brings tears to my eyes as well :)

[@MatterhornValais]

@@Nillowo Absolutely. Method hit their peak in MoP. I can still name 90% of their roster 10 years later and I quit wow years ago: Sco, Treckie, Justwait, Pottm, Rogerbrown, Blatty, Sparkuggz, Kuznam, Vykina, Infeh, Razzie, Nagura, Imsupersdw, Pacteh, Lorgok, Sonie, Leeds, Noxe, Ashvael, Perfecto, Aladya, Strydem, Apku, Deac & Kreps. Lmao.

[@gollese]

@@MatterhornValais And they are world 3 now, insane comeback after losing most of the roster.

[@xffingf]

Amen, MoP was the best in every aspect 🥲

[@ajijvimev]

So much people belive that hardcore players are just shutting out all the humor and enjoyment of the game and just play to be good, this video shows really well how much fun they have and how much they enjoy the game.

[@Trey-qe2il]

This is Method's best kill video ever. I really hope that their Blackhand one is like this

[@Cybergig00]

Trey McInnis I agree and the blackhand kill video is amazing as well now that its out. Also check out blood legion's kill for paragons of klaxxi just as badass as the other two.

[@tomaszdrwal7636]

+Trey McInnis In my opinion it is still best Method's kill video and my favorite out of all, I watched it a dozen times.

[@corndogszn]

I think it was :D

[@HexedHax]

All I gotta say to people who think TBC raids were harder than this is: Try it.

[@Koroar]

Agreed man. BC raids were very hard... at the time! Because people were not used to fights as complex as they are now days, if Lei Shen was the last boss of Sunwell... it probably wouldn't have died until Wotlk. xD

[@daniellobo9915]

Not to mention a lot of fights in BC were really overtuned and required a lot of class stacking, hate on me if you want but imo fights these days have improved a lot.

[@matthiasnoack5672]

Nah you guys should also look in perspective ;) if the Boss would have been out by then, the players would have adapted and not a lot of Boss progress would have been till now I think. The Boss tactics made a huge leap from T4 Bosses like Gruul or such to T5 Bosses (Vashj and Kael), which were total killerbosses, even with Full T6 equipment. Then the next big leap was from BC to Ulduar (Naxx had no real new mechanics of any kind). Ulduar introduced quite a lot of new mechanics that were a lot of fun. Still since Ulduar the Boss progress is not that big anymore. There are some sure, like Lei Shen who are difficult, but mostly due to the massive amount of Abilities the boss has. Back in BC you had less but more deadly abilities that would kill the whole raid in a few seconds. And back then, with less defensive specials and way less group heal that was devasting. Nowadays there sure are abilities that kill you in an instant if you don't follow tactics, but that's because you could otherwise heal it out ;) Also as for classstacking: well you only don't need it nowadays anymore as Blizzard made CC and such available for everyone, lot's of classes offering the same abilities.

[@tresmusics9484]

Heh lets do a comparison shall we, World 1st M'uru took SK Gaming 1k whipes atleast, KJ about the same, ask Method how much they whiped on this fight, you get your answer. Stop with the bs that fights are way harder now, they are more complex but not HARDER, that I can guarantee.

[@tresmusics9484]

Daniel Lobo fights sure did improve a lot for pussies :) BC bosses weren't overtuned, except for Kael when he was unkillable, M'uru and KJ were killable even when it required HUNDREDS of whipes for guilds to maybe get them down

[@Doily131]

This shit makes me tear up. Who cares if it's a video game or not, it's a bunch of people getting together to perform a task, working together to figure it out, and spending days and days making it happen.

[@ariex0a]

"I'm lacking 50-uh-40 valor points tho, better kill this boss" Oh my god the start of this video :D

[@andylan3614]

Watched this video the first time around the end of April, 2013. FD Lei Shen May. 17th 2013. It is now 2018. I still remember 180 wipes on this boss; still remember we had 4 rogues and 1 mist monk for intermissions because we only had 3 warlocks portals and mistweaver was counted as a melee; still remember we had to gear up 2 DKs for the mass grip; still remember brew monk's insane 200k dps; still remember team chat during intermission down times; still remember the nerd scream and cry at the end of the raid. Quited WoW 1 hour after the FD of Lei Shen. Everything left for the guild. My valor points that week came solely from heroic raids. Ah. How life has changed.

[@emiltaa2012]

Im very happy he got his valorpoints

[@napieracz]

I love how progressively the music gets more intense. At the beginning there's a lot of banter and laughs but the later in the fight the more focused shotcalling becomes. I just love this kill video.

[@tobi888100]

The first 3 minutes of this video are fucking hilarious.

[@Nkzjr]

ToT was such a nice Raid..srsly.. The Bosses had so cool Mechanics

[@jamesomeara7814]

This video still gives me chills....

[@187eo]

From all the guils I'have been following over the years, you're IMO the best to watch. You deserved World first!

[@MrGoobl]

"Great job, Pottm. I'll promote you after this." Now an officer. XD

[@hitsugayatoshiro201]

+Pistonx45x Yeah hehe,but did you know that Pottm is responsible for making addons and weakauras? Addons and weakauras which are today used for mythic Archimond are all pattern of his addons which he made for guild :)

[@BirdBuster91]

Congratz all! Absolutely amazing video and was waiting to see it. Congrats again!

[@GrayzBDF]

I love this! Raiding at it's best. Good music and I love the fact that the humour dies down, the funnies go from the 1st half go silent and the executioners step in. Very nice kill. And a very nice video filled with tons of emotions. /Bows sincerely

[@badassoverlordzetta]

The beginning of their voice chat is just such gold lol. Huge congrats on world first 25 Method, continue being awesome!

[@LovesMusik_German]

Oh my gosh O_O watched this so often and I really pray that I will find such a great raiding guild which have FUN on their bosses.

[@danielsinja]

The first few seconds, when Lei Shen talks. Awesome!

Its Sir Christopher Lee voice-acting. Hes truly immortal :') Rip

[@Telyn305]

i love watching them nearly while at the end and start screaming in suspense and then scream EVEN louder in happiness its just awesome

[@Despond]

These guys sound so laid back and chilled. The best thing in this world is to know your job well enough that's it's not in question and you can free yourself to enjoy yourself.

[@RolfSvenning]

So sick...:) With Paragon joining the race in WoD shit is getting fucking real!!!!!!!! :)

[@SecretLevelAftermath]

paragons gonna win like, in cata and wotlk =/

[@Foverskov4300]

GoodOldN1ghty nope, they will not :)

[@SecretLevelAftermath]

Foverskov4300 good chances are they will. theyx are a tad better then method and they where the only guild to bring down the lichking during 5% nerv. before that(0%) noone brought him down. also they p much dominated cata (except DS due a bann) by a landslide.

[@SecretLevelAftermath]

that being said. i do prefer method more as they seem to have much more fun then paragon do. and fun (even if it sounds weird) is still a part of the game.

[@Polarcake]

GoodOldN1ghty I wouldn't say their that much better than Method, back in TBC I'm sure Method was one of 2 guild to ever kills Vashj before he major nerf to mind control and in itself is a major achievement.

[@alpkisikli]

amazing kill, congratz! i have a question though, how many wipes did it take you to kill it?

[@zepwafels]

That nerdgasm at the end...

[@AshleyMasen]

Incredible. The positioning you guys had throughout that fight was just incredible.

[@josephomalley7628]

"I will wake up my cat" funnier every time I watch it

[@Kavaison]

Great video guys :) Love the subtle music at the start. Last % was intense!

[@solarwow3807]

so funny "UuuNUunngh I need 50 valor points!"

[@Arsen1c42]

I really enjoy watching Method videos, the guys are really chill without ragers (I'm sure that during their attempts there was plenty of raging) But they just seem like a bunch of friends that enjoy the game, their communication shows that to me. Props to Method on WF garrosh and lei'shen and all the others!

[@paulhartung3641]

Method, you guys work so well together the only person I wasn't fond of in this video was the American tank. He sounds rude from other videos as well. Take care of Leeds or Leads, he's alright, don't make fun of him too much. The happiness at the end when you kill Lei Shen is epic. I love how happy and enthusiastic you all are, especially the girls. It's authentic, legitimate happiness. Your vids are great, please keep them coming and best of luck in the next expansion. We're rooting for you!!!

[@ILike2KillYou]

Their tanks are from Scotland and Sweden...

[@paulhartung3641]

One has a great American accent then. Either way im not too fond of him.

[@SecretLevelAftermath]

Paul Hartung You mean Sco? Sco is long therm member and he is maybe sounding "a little" rude. But he is a really nice guy. Leedsybaby aka Leeds is just a trashtalker but pretty much everyone in method trashtalks as long as its not getting hard or people have to concentrate.

[@TxDGamingPro]

what a speech

[@SecretLevelAftermath]

he said "One has a great american ACCENT" an accent =! your habitation. its how you talk and how it sounds like. and he sounds american ish. hes just not, hes brittish

[@EkShaman]

I think what makes this video epic is the audio, better then the kill imo. Gz on the kill!

[@hristoborisov3713]

was it that hard!? or these guys just really happy

[@austinfair23]

This race was super tight between blood legion and method. MoP is arguably when raids got to the difficulty they are today, although with less weak aura’s.

[@ImitationSurrender]

I love that they have vent from the whole fight. Just makes the whole thing that much more epic.

[@ctx4241]

Those guys got awesome atmosphere at raid while killing those bosses first with grace. Fuck paragon, this is style. Wanna be in guild raid like this one more time.

[@RagingNinjaaz]

This made my day. Are you here until Tuesday?

[@lukeluckynblue1873]

say im crazy but im missing MOP so much life was better in that time for me :)

[@prinztricky]

i just miss being 16 i think

[@Makarimorph]

gunna sound pretty derpy, whats the custom health bars they are using for the bars above the mobs ect?

[@skajtnerds]

God i miss ToT

[@MrStyle421]

very nice kill great vid as always from yall. what is average hps/dps for that in that success if you dont mind me asking.

[@SecretLevelAftermath]

1 year later and people aer still wiping on this boss in random groups even if everyone got actual kill exp.

[@kablezone1]

Think the question is why you are doing this one year and a tier later

[@SecretLevelAftermath]

Easy: Still best in slot trinket for feral druids. also, fun and gearing chars, because ToT stuff just drops better then LFR

[@kablezone1]

It doesnt drop better then flex tho, that you could easily do if you can do ToT hc

[@SecretLevelAftermath]

While that is true, refer to the first point. The rune of re origination for ferals is everything. its better then anything you can get anywhere in the current content. also, if you find a group which does 11/13 HC TOT in 1 hour, ill tka ethat chance. we usually do all 13 bosses but lei shen wipes us 2-3 times depending on whetever or not we have experienced or inexperienced players.

[@SecretLevelAftermath]

And it still drops better then Flex because flex doesnt drop at all for me lol. i got 1 item this ID; and 1 item last ID. the same 2 items btw i recieved another ID before.

[@DodderingOldMan]

Ha, man, I *love* hearing the vent chat (or mumble, whatever) on stuff like this. You guys are awesome, grats.

[@YourSweatyUncle]

Rip Christopher Lee :(

[@박준섭-x5e]

This video still gives me chills....

[@Number69]

First song is amazing. I did this boss on lfr then normal and thought wtf. Heroic with that gear can't imagine. Think it was 3rd week they cracked it?

[@EssiprogEA]

THAT RAGING QQ AT THE END , BEST YELLING AND SHOUTING IVE SEEN , GOOD JOB

[@paulhartung3641]

slayer of kings... and GODS...

[@jaymerge9997]

can someone explain what the hell is going on in that last phase? it doesnt look like much but then everyone dies and its close. thank you in advance

[@hawkman8706]

The thunderstruck hammer he throws out hits really hard, harder the closer you are to where it's thrown. The little sparks spawn and cause damage when they spawn every 45 seconds to a minute and you have to be spread out 8 yards when they spawn or you will take stacking damage from more than one spark, he does his lightning whips which he has done for the whole fight, and there is the bursts of wind that push you back and cause higher and higher damage as the fight goes longer.

[@julienkoperski]

I become Goospumps evereday i look the awesome end of this video!

[@Sammysapphira]

Julien Koperski goosepumps?

[@julienkoperski]

benblue3 You didn't know what Goosepumps are?

[@Huldran]

I think hir meant "Goosebumps".

[@Jecht2024]

one of my favorite kills ever the transition of music around 10:30 you can start to hear the panic in their voices with the callouts as the boss is getting close to dead

[@mattw1121]

Poor apku's cat..

[@DoctorHeinz]

its really good to know that even top guilds raid like this and have some real fun

[@ludvigsmaavikhansen2278]

[@SnipMixas11]

I love the fact that you were laughing thinking it wasn't gonna go well but very good job and congratz!! I almost felt as I killed it! :)

[@Blazexxx7]

whats the name of the first person who spoke ;P? hes fking hilarious^^

[@Dunkingsonn]

Leeds, examplary shaman and in dire need of 40 Valor Points

[@MrPolski91]

I agree with you. What I meant by finding these people was that there ARE guilds out there with decent people who can push heroic progress whilst still having fun. I'm in one now, and apart from times where people need to be called out for mistakes they made or times where we have to focus and be serious, there's a very relaxed and jovial atmosphere whilst raiding, and we do a lot outside raids in other games and just chatting on mumble. It's like a separate circle of friends not just other ppl.

[@sikkbass3652]

That tops the Ragnaros HC Paragon kill, the teamwork and people suiciding with instant resses was impeccable. Truly a great kill in a great tier for WoW. A lot of players will leave the game after this due to IRL and general WoW direction but this leaves a great legacy.

[@thehoror01]

The 2nd transition and that last phase look absolutely brutal. grats method pretty amazing shit

[@ChairmanMeow1]

One of my personal top 3 raid bosses of all time

[@Deeeerrrrrp]

Another amazing video. I expected as much.

[@Sevilou]

was waiting for it. good job

[@Zirnon247]

IMHO I think the entire lore and everything about Lei Shen is incredibly well done, Blizzard certainly put a lot of work into it to give you that old "TBC feel of raiding" Well done Blizzard, Well done.

[@GeekyBobz]

This video is sooo much better then BL's kill. It's the absolute proof that relaxed raiding > tense raiding! Amazing guys, gj!

[@mouse264]

I've never watched Method before but it makes me happy to see they have so much fun and joke around while being the highest-rated guild ever! You'd expect them to be overly serious, but they seem like fun guys :) That's what I always look for in a guild but I haven't found it yet.

[@Sqoun]

SO FREAKIN AWESOME! Its so funny how you guys been making jokes and laughing by the end of the fight and things just turned so freakin serious by the last 2 minutes xD ... well played.

[@Draknalor186]

judgeing from the screams i say they have had quite a few wipe's =P and were u guys like 3 alive when he went down?

[@AshChapman777]

Loved it how chill all you guys were at the start XD

[@ItsTheBibby]

Do you just max haste or are you aiming for certain points of crit and mastery?

[@PhxHDchiller]

This is the method I miss, the friendship was too strong back then

[@zizilioziz4532]

Question, why spam your Explosive Procs, wouldn't you get more out of it if you explosive, arcane, explosive, arcane, explosive, arcane? That way all 3 ticks of the shot would go off.

[@Pinkbunnie29]

That was a team that felt with "the kill" , I can respect that, and I liked the fun vibe :)

[@Harryson6]

I agree with you both in some ways. As far as an end boss it was a let down, but some difficulty was there pre nerf. And the only reason why Paragon and Kin had so many wipes were because they were progressing through it before there were any videos or explanations. They are the guys who do the videos for all the other raiders in the world.

[@Razeranton]

so you finally released the kill video:P who got 2nd first 25m?

[@DodderingOldMan]

Ha, yeah, seriously, the gradual transition from random nonsense and joking around to seriousness then super-seriousness then excitement and relief is fucking epic and a brilliant insight into world class raiding. Thanks, Method.

[@DraznikFromSlov3nia]

Can you pls tell me what spec were the mages and how many runs did it take you to kill him?

[@str8Ball1n]

Nice perspective changes, ty for sharing.

[@blitzzard91]

Ra-den is an optional heroic-only boss and he is available only after you kill Lei Shen Heroic. So when Method killed Lei Shen, the entrance to Ra-den's chamber is opened.

[@bigbird447]

Some of the best world first voice chat conversation as well. "Usso taunta Usso taunta" no. "This. is. it." no. "I will wake up my cat, just the pussy." perfection.

[@variantedja4310]

Hm, I mean no offense, but can you give me a link that states it? 'Cause I think Blizzard made LS for MoP, so I don't know much 'bout him.

[@georgeborisov1836]

The life drains during the spectrum phases are handled by 3 melee in the blue stack,but since you've it's a random target,if a person in yellow/red gets you either have to grip the person to the blue stack to face the life drain towards the blue side and if you didn't have that available in most cases during progression that person would die and the boss would heal by a shit lot.Since red/yellow are constantly moving and red can't afford to stop unless it's at an add.

Love how casual it is, joking about someone's cat. Then they make it through the second transition with all rezzes up, and someone calls for "full focus guys" and the voice chat goes like, military efficient all of a sudden. SHIT JUST GOT SERIOUS BOYS.
