Interesting fact, -> Andy StrumSlinger posts this in chat: "I honestly didn't realize this boss was this hard. Looks like I need to have a chat with the devs" (1:29:40)

So much for the shorter runs that were promised when they released M6. They restructured the DDs to allow for a shorter run duration and a minimum of gear to complete.
Congrats to all of you.
I believe in the t2 runs it IS 2000 iL and the suggested completion time should be around 50 minutes. Definitely not with the increased HP they gave everything, but the bosses. I feel that the minimum should have been raised to 2250 iL or 2500 iL when they increased the HP of the mobs.
You really can't change one without changing the other. Which makes me question testing things out before release.

I think one of the most disheartening things I saw in your stream was Andy StrumSlinger post this in your chat: "I honestly didn't realize this boss was this hard. Looks like I need to have a chat with the devs" (1:29:40)
Just... sigh. That's all I have to say.
Also your cw was indeed lacking in dps, that being said he wasn't using the lostmauth set from what I saw.

That would be WHY I have said it should be a requirement for the devs to play their own game. I am not talking about using code to give them the best gear to run content. I am talking about them leveling multiple toons from the preface all the way through EE and 70... the run with guilds and pugs through that levels content. PvP should be something that is required, whether they are good or not.
How can anyone know what they created if they never interact with it?
If and when all that happens, then I will believe that the disconnect has been severed. If Andy did not know how hard it was...
I am a HUGE believer in the concept of "Dont talk the talk, unless you walk the walk."

By the way, here is a serious set of recommendations strife that would have made that fight easier.
1) Have the devoted cleric use high prophet set from last module. I am serious here, the debuff is really good, if possible, have them run as righteous as well.
2) Have a MoF CW instead of of a SS, once again, the debuff makes a difference.
From there, you focus heavily on debuffing, that way, you can burn through the boss quickly and get it over with in the shortest period of time possible. The quicker you do it and the less time it takes, the less time there is for you to make mistakes and the more likely you are to finish it. When I did it with a 2k group, we did it with a heavy debuff orientated group. We managed to get traven below half health before first barrel use and then killed him the next wave.

Hmmm... why would this be? If he needs help power-leveling I know a few people that could get him to 70 in 2 or 3 days. Granted he would have to play at least 8 hours a day.
In part, because Andy can't get his character levelled up to 70 to even *access* epic dungeons....

My guild and I have completed it a few times legit, but only with a few guild secret tricks/combos. Can drain his health 20% in a matter of seconds but its very risky as it does hurt us. Also its funny we have more trouble with GWD than eCC for the last boss battle, but its the opposite for you.

The devs have never run eCC legit. I'd bet real money on it.

No, I was not using that set, and it makes a huge difference. I can't really compete with anyone who uses it. But this mod forces me to think more about control. GWFs and TRs can do the damage I'm missing now. I'm also not using Focused Wizardry. I'm an SS Renegade, so I raised everyone else's DPS, with Icy Veins, and was focusing on control.
This was my first time here, so I had to experiment with my rotations and daily timing.

I told you all I had seen this done before! Gratz guys on legit run. Thumbs up.
