Bugged Hodir Hardmode (easy)

[Slayeth]

Quite a few guilds have done Hodir Hard Mode, even a guild on my server has it down now, it's not impossible.

[Knucklerot]

we did hodir today...didn't work...either they caught it and fixed it or those who got it got lucky or did something to prevent him from smashing it somehow...

"A hotfix for this issue has been deployed. Hodir Hard Mode raiders rejoice! The casting of Flash Freeze will no longer interfere with the hard mode reward timer in this encounter."

to make it clear, the fix was to make him die even if he's casting flash freeze when he goes low. Before you could get him to 1%, then he started to cast flash freeze at 2:56, meening he would smash the crate once the cast is over, and he was unkillable during the cast like most other bosses.

I believe that if he cast flash freeze as the timer goes out, he might completely forget to smash the crate.

He is easy, the only hardmode in the 25man that you can pretty much steamroll. It's far from hard. It might require a bit of luck with beams and clouds, but no, it's not hard at all. But I think this is the wrong place to discuss hes difficult?

My guild has been doing Hodir Hard Mode for the last two nights, we have been only a few % off on each kill, mostly due to server lag, but its not impossible. Im going to be very angry if people get this on my server by a bug.

I think you did this
hodir hardmode is easier now

Took us 7m 36s on 10man, we did get the achievement, extra loot and an extra Emblem of Conquest!

EU server, killed him last night at around 23.30 server time.

[Happy2k]

You're joking, right? 10man hard mode is very simple for those in 25man gear, but 25man cache is rare is incredibly hard.

We did it in 3 minutes and 8 seconds

[agni]

Could someone clarify this to me, who hasnt done this boss?
How is this a exploit

[Zharkake]

its bugged on EU servers by the sounds, and Hodir hard mode was nerfed by about a minute so its not impossible, and blizz nerfed the world buff u need to spell steal to do the fight before nerf.

[Emissaire]

Hotfix. This night. Was running and i have the achievement but it's too late now

Hodir - Flash Freeze Hotfix

[chumpy]

ummmm unless they nerfed it Hodir hard mode is nearly impossible. Ensidia had to make their casters go get world buffs to pull the DPS to down him that quick.

10man the dps check is much lower

They also did add time to the Hard mode.

welcome to 2 weeks ago.

[Cassave]

Even with the "tweaks and some "nerfs" post a screen that you've done the encounter.
Only then you have rights to say its to easy or not.

10 man hard modes are still pretty hard in compare to 25 in my honest onion ( <--- joke ).

Just like sarth 10 / 25, 10 man is on some occasions even harder then 25, since you can't miss the person that dies in 10 man due to some random RNG / lag / stupid fault.

[Omgwtfowned]

Cool I guess nice find
