Cinderfall lands the world-first Frostmarch Hard clear

Summary

A 12-player guild cleared Frostmarch on the hardest difficulty just 48 hours after Patch 4.2 went live — faster than anyone expected.

What Happened

Guild «Cinderfall» downed the Frostmarch boss on Hard mode, securing the season's first clear and the cosmetic title that comes with it.

Why It Matters

It proves the post-4.2 sustain meta is viable at the highest level, and sets the pace other guilds will now chase.

Context / Background

Patch 4.2 buffed Emberlash duration and softly nerfed Inferno Pact shields, reshaping which builds bring the most value to a raid roster.

What to Watch Next

Expect tier lists to shift toward sustain comps, and watch for the next balance hotfix targeting Stormcaller burst.
