Can any1 share his island expedition routs?I've heard people clear one instance in 3 mins and i dont understand how do you pull that many mobs in so little time.I have no problem with dmg or hp.
 
They’re either mythic item level for the normal map and breeze through it or just do the easier mobs and farm for crystals.

Either way, they’ll not get the epic loot if they took/take the easy route.

Basically you use consumables to run through all the high density areas and kill it all together when you have ~5000-5500 azerite worth of mobs, allowing you to check for the last wave of rares and decide if it's worth killing (some of them don't have a valuable loot table).

That is wrong. Mythic geared 120s are slower than 110s due to scaling, and you can do 3mins runs (or less) while killing the valuable rares.

Pull with ranged abilities as much as possible (throw glaive x2, consume magic & taunt). When you can't, don't run into the mobs, just run into their aggro range so they start following you but can't land a hit.

These are the consumables I use, quoting from a previous thread:


Off the top of my mind, for islands

https://www.wowhead.com/item=163757/gg-118-micro-jetpack & https://www.wowhead.com/item=163765/flashfire-brew are by far the best dubloon items. Can stock an unlimited quantity and have them every week using mailbox for storage. The grenade / cannon / trick vest are also good for some classes.

OP asked for items / consumables beside mandatory raid buffs, but just for integrality:

If you guys discovered anything else beneficial, I'd love to know!
 
Still waiting for your < 1:37min Isle Expedition @Speedruns

Your memory seems to fail you, check your posting history in threads we both posted and reread that.

Still waiting on you to post anything meaningful, idk why you're even here.

Not gonna feed this troll any further, bring it to PMs if you're still lost & confused.

If anyone's curious about what he's talking about and doesn't want to go through post history, he's comparing a 1:38 3man run with 2-3mins solo runs.

Im not comparing anything.
You said you were able to do it easily under < 1:38 with TWO people.
In fact we are waiting over a month for your easy 1min run

EDIT: your post:

never made a 'world record' attempt, but fastest duo run I remember is 1:10, and I've only tried a handful. With 3 people actually trying properly, under 1min is easy especially on the Dread Chain map.

Here's the thread: https://xpoff.com/threads/isle-expedition-in-1-38min.80685/

Just look at the video, you can see they do nothing special to go fast, they just walk in with warfront gear.

I saw a lot of room for improvement so I made an attempt at constructive criticism, pointing out some of the consumables that help make it fast.

Not sure why you were waiting on anything man. As I said, your memory is failing you, go back to read that thread. I wasn't going to start a youtube channel just to prove a point, but I welcomed anyone who wanted to come see in-game, record the run and upload it themselves.

One player from that 1:38 run PMd me and said he'd be making an US acc to see the runs but I haven't heard of him since then.

The only reason I can see why you're posting now is trolling, but in such an unentertaining way that I don't understand why you bothered.

What should be special about to pull together and Aoe them down? You surely do the same as a demonhunter.


o I made an attempt at constructive criticism, pointing out some of the consumables that help make it fast.

Your attempt at constructive criticism failed... You just made some allegations and trash talking without a proof.
It doesnt matter if you'll use Radinaxx gem or gunshoes or your mount.
When you use Radinaxx you will be insanely fast but have to wait a long time that the mobs will reach you.

Not sure why you were waiting on anything man
Im waiting for a video since I hate people who comment on other players who did something with " bla bla bla Im way better and can solo this in the same time bla bla bla"

When you're able to rush it in 1minute, its really impressive but than I dont understand why you wont show us the run.
It would be a great "competition". But just talking "im faster hehehe" thats a poor argument

Fast islands are 90% about pulling efficiently, which wasn't showcased at all in the video, and that was one of my main point.

You're saying going fast is useless because you'll have to wait on mobs to catch up... That would be partially true if pulls were done in a straight line, but that's not the case. Feels like I have to pull out some crayons and draw it out for you.

Since you won't go back and read, I have to quote it for you:

The whole reason I posted wasn't to say ''I run faster than you'' to start a confrontation, it was to help you by saying ''you can go much faster than this, items help but it's also about finding optimal paths''.

I was actually looking forward to eventually posting a video of what I consider is an absolute perfect run, but if no one else is taking them seriously, and only people like you are gonna watch, that's a huge let down and there's very little interest for me.

Do you really think acting childish (refering to you and your buddy in my inbox) without even being able discuss the subject willl make me feel like I have to prove something to you? It just makes me want to never come back on this site. Not use my time to create a video that will share my techniques / 'secrets'.

I don't know what you're trying to achieve here. But I don't think you want to learn, you just want to feel like you're right when you're not. I'm done losing braincells to this completely unconstructive and useless discussion.

Anyone can check out your post history to see you never contribute meaningfully and mostly just troll.

Don't bother replying, I just found out about the Ignore function of this site.
