Rest in peace Paragon. Massive respect to my fellow countrymen and one of the best guilds in World of Warcraft's history. Had to watch this after hearing about the guilds quitting.. you will always be legends and the history remains.
Ternadil Bloody Idiot. The reason why they did quit now is be cause they couldn't find enough people from Finland that were good enough and at the same time able to commit so much time to the game during an raid tier, heard they had 7 out of 22 players currently that could commit to it. So they decided it's better not to force it, not be cause they lost 2 tiers to Method.
TheTripol What if i told you, that i heard this information from one of the Paragon player himself? Ok, it was wrong to say that "they are bad losers", when the only bad loser is their GM.
slimaneron ah? This was posted in 2014 how come it was 5 years ago? 5 years ago cata wasnt even here x). Anyways just said it was a normal play from hunters
oh yeah cata was that long ago dam. But yeah the boss was hard but the trick he used to desingage like that has been used way before this. Specially in Blade Edge arena map. I mean ..its a pretty standart thing since wratch tbh o.O
I still hate al akir. Nothing wrong with the fight, just that he doesn't drop his headpiece, shoulders, cape or sword! He has the most epic gear in the game!
It sucks that Cataclysm as a whole sucked because the final bosses of each raid were epic in their own sense. MOP kind of lost that epic feeling in boss fights. Except for the fight with Lei Shen the Thunder King. But yeah Cataclysm easily had the most epic boss fights. I mean this one for example. This fight takes place in THE SKY. I mean how awesome is that?
Santiago Quintas I hope fighting Grommash. I'd love to see them use his same kit from WC3 like the mirror images, bladestorm, etc. None of that whirlwind crap Garrosh did in SoO I mean like an actual storm or something like what happened in WC3. That'd be so great.
nbdb At the time you could only use disengage whilst in combat, so using it to get where you wanted to be was a thinking outside the box idea, today it is commonplace
shaardy qt Algalon was before they became a top guild, deathwing was due to the bans, cho gall wasn't the last boss and archi was "unfair" because method used an op macro. Remember that the guy i responded to said that leaving people out for the first phase was cheating
+tompatompsson method didnt use a macro, they used a WA. thats not unfair at all, paragon lost absolutly deserved. Algalon was their 1st raidtier were they were famous, they got world 2nd i think. And they also got banned completly justified. im not a method fanboy, bith guilds deserve their spot in wow history, but the Statement that they never lost is just completly untrue.
I once heard Rogerbrown talking about how shocked everyone was for this boss in particular, because p1 was so broken that everyone just assumed that they would wait until a hotfix to continue progging, and back then the top guilds were very secretive so nobody even knew that Paragon had discovered a way to solve p1 let alone the entire fight
I love how they have "Original" / 1080p settings for their videos, and of course what makes it better, is that they are pretty much flawless constantly...
we sucked back in T11 but the tier was excellent. despite having quite a few bugged bosses, it took us a while to see them anyway. not really any "bad" fights in that tier. pretty much enjoyed all 12 of them until we got to twilight council hc...
PBG Dave While my guild wasn't able to down Al'akir even on normal and we only got 2 bosses down heroic (halfus and chimeron) i completely agree. So much fun in every raid and actually a challenge. this tier we're on now at least in foundry is pretty good as well but i'll always cherish Blackwing Descent and Bastion of Twilight!
Aaron Bachle i remember us struggling like crazy because we only formed in T10 so just getting 10 competent raiders together was a pain. we still had the dead weight we used to form the guild in the first place, but i remember after weeks of ballache we got normal nef/hc halfus down in same night and hc halfus was a 2 shot which was amazing. i remember how stupidly overtuned halfus was on normal 10 man in first week or 2. you literally oomed after 10 seconds on healing. broken
GJ to this guild. I'm an american from the old school. Where WoW was about leveling, meet new people, enjoying the game and oh yeah, having fun. Most american player forgot it is a game and not competition. That is why I've join EU, JPN and Aus servers.
Well... I found this one the most exciting video from you in this content. Epic, quite funny at the start and the most enjoyable piece of teamwork, including 2nd phase (and, ofc, we can see that classes, which can take off acid rain, are prefer in your setup) and phase 3 , which contents all what you can want from pve video. Thx , gj and gl in next tier
Well done! There is nothing else to say! I'm impressed to see how fast they have cleared the Cata content and what amazing skill these players have! :) Again, well done Paragon! :D
@TheTerrorclaus Blizzard already hotfixed the amount of damage and the duration of the lightning. That was a huge reason Paragon kept people out at the start. Healers not having to deal with extra damage and no form of enrage in the first phase made it better to have less people fighting than having to deal with the mechanics as they were. It didn't speed the encounter up, it didn't trivialize the encounter, and Blizzard has since fixed the need to have people sit out in phase one.
This is one EPIC battle, in it's true meaning, with one hell of an epic performance as well as some incredible footage and editing - as well as a great soundtrack! This is the true, final boss of Cataclysm. I couldn't care less about Deathwang's adds dying on Heroic Mode. Most likely the best Raid Video that i've seen and extremely few even come close to K3rp's (Last Resort) standard. Very well done! Notice the silence up until the very last hp. That's a lot of discipline right there.
The disengage was 'epic' because it was timed perfectly so that he would be pushed off by Wind Burst and angled perfectly so that he would land right behind the passing tornado Squall Line. Pretty fucking awesome.
@borsfall do note that it isnt directly on the bar ... there's a little space between the spells (on the far left there 2sets of 3 buttons then a little space ... that's where the actual actionbar starts :D so it may look like its on the 1st Actionbar , they're not they are on a different one :D
@xRobtheSalmonx Yes he did, disengaging in a direction doesn't need you to be on the ground, it just needs you to be pointing in the opposite direction of where you want to go.
You guys made some excellent videos, they're exciting, well shown and educating. Watching the health bar keep moving pretty scary from a healer's point of view too :O
congrats guys. that was a sick disengage devail. great video guys. your best yet. but saying that we havnt seen the nefarian one yet. btw two steps from hell freaking awesome choice.
that hunter is freakin unreal.im sure tons of people are like they can do that easy but in all honesty with so much going on no u probably cant he timed it perfectly and when he landed was still dpsing the boss
the fact that the hunter can do shit like that WHILE in a heroic 25 man boss is fuckin crazy, I mean I wouldn't be as impressed if it was normal 10 man but during a 25m heroic and he does that is what makes it really amazing
Its really nice to see that cata fights are so hard, you need to come up with special strats to kill the boss. grats paragon on the kill, and good job blizz with the raid content
Finland, Finland, Finland, The country where I want to be, Eating breakfast or dinner, Or snack lunch in the hall. Finland, Finland, Finland. Finland has it all. You're so sadly neglected And often ignored, A poor second to Belgium, When going abroad. Finland, Finland, Finland, The country where I quite want to be, Your mountains so lofty, Your treetops so tall. Finland, Finland, Finland. Finland has it all.
@TheTerrorclaus Yes, but, you are forgetting one thing. Paragon may have killed these encounters pre-nerf or pre-fix -or whatever you want to call it-but that does not mean that they don't have to go back in and adjust their WORLD FIRST strats to kill the encounter again. Just because they killed it once doesnt mean it's a cakewalk the next time, or the third time, and with encounters changing right underneath them, I think you have to hand it to them for being such good sports about it.
@jeggiderikkmere I think there's someone in the guild who loves epic music. And if you hear this kind of music you have to know Two Steps from Hell. "In particular, the group's music has been used in trailers for such films as Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Star Trek, The Dark Knight, 2012, X-Men: The Last Stand, Tron Legacy, Avatar, Prince of Persia, Stardust, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Inception..." From wikipedia
Two Steps from Hell does all great music, every song I have like over 30 of their songs, that trailer music you hear for games and movies that sound uber and such, is what they do.
@williewobbler79 Hunter is me Devai. It's not flask of the winds its elixir of cobra and blue elixir is prismatic (90 resistance). Shaman drops mana tide totem so we dont have NR resistance from totem so therefore i pop aspect of the wild to gain nature resistance aura, after manatide is used ill go back to fox
You know whats awesome, fight that require class stacking when they said this would be done away with. You HAVE to be able to reset your acid debuff , or at least most of the raid must or else you will just all fall on your face. Awesome fight design , awesome.
0:57 i dont think anyone would of thought what he did, they would of just died from tornado, chain lightning and blizzard or wait the some 10 seconds of being windbursted off, TALENT and fast thinking there!!
0:56 that disengage changed my life forever.
Rest in peace Paragon. Massive respect to my fellow countrymen and one of the best guilds in World of Warcraft's history. Had to watch this after hearing about the guilds quitting.. you will always be legends and the history remains.
+TheTripol lol, they were just bad loosers
+Ternadil dafuq?
Tobbe Laitila
yeah? they quit because they lost couple raid tiers
Ternadil Bloody Idiot. The reason why they did quit now is be cause they couldn't find enough people from Finland that were good enough and at the same time able to commit so much time to the game during an raid tier, heard they had 7 out of 22 players currently that could commit to it. So they decided it's better not to force it, not be cause they lost 2 tiers to Method.
TheTripol
What if i told you, that i heard this information from one of the Paragon player himself? Ok, it was wrong to say that "they are bad losers", when the only bad loser is their GM.
Now I get why Al'Akir has all of the minion abilities in Hearthstone. He has like 5,000 mechanics.
0:55 Paragon Quality plays.
not saing that it wasnt bad but its our everyday standarts mate :P
+André Fernandes it's was 5 years ago, so 4 from your post -_-'
slimaneron ah? This was posted in 2014 how come it was 5 years ago? 5 years ago cata wasnt even here x). Anyways just said it was a normal play from hunters
28 janv. 2011, it wasn't normal at this day. Just one guy from ensidia had done it. And cata was here, it comes in end of 2010
oh yeah cata was that long ago dam. But yeah the boss was hard but the trick he used to desingage like that has been used way before this. Specially in Blade Edge arena map. I mean ..its a pretty standart thing since wratch tbh o.O
I still hate al akir. Nothing wrong with the fight, just that he doesn't drop his headpiece, shoulders, cape or sword! He has the most epic gear in the game!
Fucking masterpiece boss.
Cata was something else. Quite possibly the _most unfairly maligned_ videogame of _all time._
It sucks that Cataclysm as a whole sucked because the final bosses of each raid were epic in their own sense. MOP kind of lost that epic feeling in boss fights. Except for the fight with Lei Shen the Thunder King. But yeah Cataclysm easily had the most epic boss fights.
I mean this one for example. This fight takes place in THE SKY. I mean how awesome is that?
I shouldn't say as a whole, just the questing really outside of Mount Hyjal. Lol.
Andrew Rose
that feeling is going to return in WoD, i hope so.
Santiago Quintas I hope fighting Grommash. I'd love to see them use his same kit from WC3 like the mirror images, bladestorm, etc. None of that whirlwind crap Garrosh did in SoO I mean like an actual storm or something like what happened in WC3. That'd be so great.
Agree. Everyone else seems to hate cata but I goddamn loved it.
Wow, the hunter disengage. An example of why Paragon is the guild I admire the most.
Then you should watch Ensidia's Mimiron hardmode kill, some epic fireescaping disengage ;)
that is kinda simple mechanic, if you never used disengage to do stuff like that, you must be a one fucking dumb hunter...
It's not about the play itself. Its about the situation and reacting perfectly.
@@nbodeh4658 I'm sure you would have thought to jump off and disengage back you fucking pleb.
nbdb At the time you could only use disengage whilst in combat, so using it to get where you wanted to be was a thinking outside the box idea, today it is commonplace
I find the switching from the epic boss killing and music to the 7 people waiting with cricket noises to be hilarious.
1:07 best part
Waoua666 BONJOUR WAOUA
This is why paragon will always be the best. Coming up with a strat to leave 7 players out of the raid for p1.
+Slvl and when they cant cheat, they just lose. lol
+Ternadil "they just lose" going by your logic the only race they've lost is blackhand
+tompatompsson and archi, deathwing, cho gall, algalon.
shaardy qt
Algalon was before they became a top guild, deathwing was due to the bans, cho gall wasn't the last boss and archi was "unfair" because method used an op macro. Remember that the guy i responded to said that leaving people out for the first phase was cheating
+tompatompsson method didnt use a macro, they used a WA. thats not unfair at all, paragon lost absolutly deserved. Algalon was their 1st raidtier were they were famous, they got world 2nd i think. And they also got banned completly justified. im not a method fanboy, bith guilds deserve their spot in wow history, but the Statement that they never lost is just completly untrue.
I'm still upset that Al'Akir never got a voice over for his lines.
Would have made the fight much more epic.
lol at the cuts to the 7 waiting people
At TBC Gruul was done by 14 ppl because the fight didnt alow to have more :D
I remember beating this as the last player alive on 10 man as the paladin tank. Nothing ever came close to the epicness of this battle.
Amen brother. I loved TotFW in general, it just had this cozy feeling to it.
I'm going to die in laughter whenever they show the members! Hahhah :DD
Best comic ever!
I once heard Rogerbrown talking about how shocked everyone was for this boss in particular, because p1 was so broken that everyone just assumed that they would wait until a hotfix to continue progging, and back then the top guilds were very secretive so nobody even knew that Paragon had discovered a way to solve p1 let alone the entire fight
I cant wait to see Paragon coming back in full glory for the Legion, please do so!!!!
Paragon dont exist anymore :s sadly
bad troll is bad.
Kelebdugolog Believe what you believe but Paragon IS dead
A few paragon members came back to wow, currently playing in the guild Memento, currently ranked world #3.
the music made this video EPIC DAMM
Young Devai [Kreygasm]
Still gives me chills... Remember this time ALOT
I love how they have "Original" / 1080p settings for their videos, and of course what makes it better, is that they are pretty much flawless constantly...
Tier 11 was the best raiding tier.
Totally agreed! Whenever I say I loved t11, people give me the weird look. I'm glad there are others who loved this tier!
The best fuckin shit
we sucked back in T11 but the tier was excellent. despite having quite a few bugged bosses, it took us a while to see them anyway. not really any "bad" fights in that tier. pretty much enjoyed all 12 of them until we got to twilight council hc...

I laughed so hard everytime they switched cameras to te 7 waiting. Haha!
As a hunter I was drooling at that disengage. You guys are effing amazing!
GJ to this guild. I'm an american from the old school. Where WoW was about leveling, meet new people, enjoying the game and oh yeah, having fun. Most american player forgot it is a game and not competition. That is why I've join EU, JPN and Aus servers.
meanwhile in the audience lol so cute xd
Who watch this video in 2019? :)
0:59 -
Al'Akir: Take This Devai... Time For You To Fall For Your Death!
Devai: I'll Show You Mon... It's Time To *Puts on Sunglasses* Disengage....
This has got to be one of the greatest kill videos of all time. Bring back Paragon 25 man!!!
Well... I found this one the most exciting video from you in this content. Epic, quite funny at the start and the most enjoyable piece of teamwork, including 2nd phase (and, ofc, we can see that classes, which can take off acid rain, are prefer in your setup) and phase 3 , which contents all what you can want from pve video.
Thx , gj and gl in next tier
i love to see this video again and again and again... better then a hollywood-movie!
Well done! There is nothing else to say! I'm impressed to see how fast they have cleared the Cata content and what amazing skill these players have! :)
Again, well done Paragon! :D
@TheTerrorclaus Blizzard already hotfixed the amount of damage and the duration of the lightning. That was a huge reason Paragon kept people out at the start.

It didn't speed the encounter up, it didn't trivialize the encounter, and Blizzard has since fixed the need to have people sit out in phase one.
That was probably the single most greatest disengage i have ever had the pleasure of laying my eyes on.

Notice the silence up until the very last hp. That's a lot of discipline right there.
gameplay of these guys are godlike, makes me cry every time i watch it, not because its bad, but because its just too good
One of your best videos so far.
The disengage was 'epic' because it was timed perfectly so that he would be pushed off by Wind Burst and angled perfectly so that he would land right behind the passing tornado Squall Line. Pretty fucking awesome.
Had to watch after preach mentioned this
@borsfall do note that it isnt directly on the bar ... there's a little space between the spells (on the far left there 2sets of 3 buttons then a little space ... that's where the actual actionbar starts :D so it may look like its on the 1st Actionbar , they're not they are on a different one :D
lol great editing, thanks for reaction and loot show :) Grats again guys!
reactions are always amazing to hear xD very nicely done and the comedy in that was awesome too xD!
and as usual. perfect music.
@KimmoKM The boss is mute, he DOES NOT have any voices in game atm.
@xRobtheSalmonx Yes he did, disengaging in a direction doesn't need you to be on the ground, it just needs you to be pointing in the opposite direction of where you want to go.
love the transitions between the waiting group and the fighting group :P
the random cut to the 7 at the entrance with crickets playing was hilarious!
This will most likely be my favorite video of Cataclysm raiding. Awesome fight. Awesome footage. /Bow
bloody epic disengage there at 0.58. never thought of doing that!! excellent
roymond
eu mazrigos
Best kill-vid of the 4.0 era. Simple as that.
Holy shit! That disengage at 1:01 was PERFECT!
You guys made some excellent videos, they're exciting, well shown and educating. Watching the health bar keep moving pretty scary from a healer's point of view too :O
congrats guys. that was a sick disengage devail. great video guys. your best yet. but saying that we havnt seen the nefarian one yet. btw two steps from hell freaking awesome choice.
is it only me that i get a chill down my spine when seita hits alakir at 7.40
Cause the fatal blow and the music match perfectly
1:07 I laughed so hard... xD
Best guild ever, greetings from Serbia !
Поздрав !
The Music track is insane! Its so nice to hear!
Awesome Video as always! Great Work, keep it going :)
that hunter is freakin unreal.im sure tons of people are like they can do that easy but in all honesty with so much going on no u probably cant
he timed it perfectly and when he landed was still dpsing the boss
I'm a bit saddened by the fact that the video does not include boss voices like some of your other videos do. Still, it was truly awesome.
Nope, 4.0.3 did include the cata content. Moreover, this video was released to youtube before the launch of 4.0.6 on 8.2.2011.
When he jumped of the edge and disengaged back, I was like OMG. it was really cool :)
Impressive calmness up until the boss dies. Awesome.
the fact that the hunter can do shit like that WHILE in a heroic 25 man boss is fuckin crazy, I mean I wouldn't be as impressed if it was normal 10 man but during a 25m heroic and he does that is what makes it really amazing
Simply awesome final phase. Amazing to watch, grats!
Wait, there is a Diamondtear, a tank paladin today in a guild named S A N C T U M. Is he the same?
Essa guild .... nem tenho palavras para descrever o tamanho disso
I'm just screaming with laughter each time you show the people watching, so funny.
Its really nice to see that cata fights are so hard, you need to come up with special strats to kill the boss. grats paragon on the kill, and good job blizz with the raid content
I like how the hunter was able to use a 4hour cooldown during the filming :P
Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Eating breakfast or dinner,
Or snack lunch in the hall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.
You're so sadly neglected
And often ignored,
A poor second to Belgium,
When going abroad.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.
really love ur vids.
Great music and design
@kuio15 The font for the hunters Dmg is called DIEDIEDIE.
Please thumb this up so other ppl can see, so many are asking.
That is the most epic disengage you will ever see.
Such a perfect kill. Not a single death.
Paragon has the best raid roster that World of Warcraft has ever seen.
That fight looked freaking epic! I can't wait to try it out.
@TheTerrorclaus Yes, but, you are forgetting one thing. Paragon may have killed these encounters pre-nerf or pre-fix -or whatever you want to call it-but that does not mean that they don't have to go back in and adjust their WORLD FIRST strats to kill the encounter again. Just because they killed it once doesnt mean it's a cakewalk the next time, or the third time, and with encounters changing right underneath them, I think you have to hand it to them for being such good sports about it.
@jeggiderikkmere I think there's someone in the guild who loves epic music.
And if you hear this kind of music you have to know Two Steps from Hell.
"In particular, the group's music has been used in trailers for such films as Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Star Trek, The Dark Knight, 2012, X-Men: The Last Stand, Tron Legacy, Avatar, Prince of Persia, Stardust, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Inception..."
From wikipedia
i love TWO STEPS FROM HELL.
It gives such an HERO aspect to them. FUCK YEAH
What an Epic fight!!! All i can say is WOW! in Awe right now!!
02:10
Lightning everywhere, a yellow poweraura effect "POWER" and screen starts flashing, made me lol^^
Devai's got some mad style points after that disengage.
Two Steps from Hell does all great music, every song I have like over 30 of their songs, that trailer music you hear for games and movies that sound uber and such, is what they do.
The fact that they had 7 players waiting is just plain brilliant.
They say the song names when they start new song! The hunters disengage fit perfectly with the music!
Very cool video, the part with the waiting ppl is the best :D
I miss this period of wow. Mu favorite raid video
I love al'akirs voice acting. probably the best blizzard has ever released.
1:07 - 1:21 I lol'd so hard xD The "Dark Intent xD" Bar kicked my ass :'D
btw. nice kill :)
@Dekado1000 jumping and pressing 1 hotkey... simply amazing :D every hunter is doing that!
The first song fits perfectly with the hunters move! At least at the point of the song it was at.
OMFG that hunter jump is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got reminded of this by Preach, what a time.
to me this is the 2nd best video of para after LK hc being the 1st...!!
I notice how there was a Stormling still alive in Phase 3. Were you guys trying for Four-Play or did you just forget about it?
@devah Hi Devai, thanks for the response mate, very kind of you.
Keep up the good work!
@sezendia they stacked mostly classes that could drop the acid rain debuff. rogues, paladins, dks, etc.
@williewobbler79
Hunter is me Devai. It's not flask of the winds its elixir of cobra and blue elixir is prismatic (90 resistance).
Shaman drops mana tide totem so we dont have NR resistance from totem so therefore i pop aspect of the wild to gain nature resistance aura, after manatide is used ill go back to fox
You know whats awesome, fight that require class stacking when they said this would be done away with. You HAVE to be able to reset your acid debuff , or at least most of the raid must or else you will just all fall on your face. Awesome fight design , awesome.
ENOUGH, I WILL NO LONGER BE CONTAINED
this video is fucking epic , whoever edited this shit was the real OP
can't stop laughing everytime camera change to the audiance lol
0:57 i dont think anyone would of thought what he did, they would of just died from tornado, chain lightning and blizzard or wait the some 10 seconds of being windbursted off, TALENT and fast thinking there!!
