Overtuned
OMG! wow! ouch! - these were our basic thoughts on us >first< encountering Odyn on heroic; this boss seemed way overtuned for a average heroic guild like ours. We notcied after our first night that the only guilds progressing past this boss were generally 5 or more Mythic kills or better into EN. I guess Blizzard didn't want a repeat of Xavius in being too easy, but to put this level of encounter into heroic when the loot dropping is 870 is almost cruel. Anyways we stuck at it, and we were definitely improving; thankfully blizzard recently also saw sense and nerfed the hp of the boss and adds - since apparently most guilds, like us, were near enough only handling adds and not DPS'ing the boss at all in P2. The nerfs helped free up boss DPS time and we got our kill deserved as much for our perserverence as anything else
