"I can tell you half of my guild would tell you that halondrus was their favorite fight the've ever progressed"
The other half was ranged 😀
I hate holondrus and rygolon lmao didn’t find it mechanically fun
At 10:40 max notes despair a few hours after anduin and that he didn’t want to go into it, but I’m confused, what happened?
Jailer at C is cap. That boss has some annoying mechanics, but overall great difficulty, really fair fight, idk it felt really good to me. Maybe not S but solid A tier
I personally thought Blizzard trying to make Anduin basically Arthas 2.0 was an insult to the legacy of the Lich King. If I had my way, his fight would have ended with us removing his head from his shoulders.
On Soul Render the way we killed him. One of our Tanks swapped from his Brewmaster to his DK for Slappy Hands to stack the adds I was playing Warlock and on this fight I went Affliction Sew the Seed spam Decaying Soul Sachel build I had all my other dps hard focus boss all fight and not worry about adds other then passive Cleave.
I held CDs for the add spawns put Agony on the adds got PI and nuked the adds super fast basically by myself with machine gun seed spam almost all my DPS was add seed it was great had alot if fun on that boss.
only thing wrong with Sire was it unnecessarily punished pet classes but that's on blizzard's pet controls and not the fight
Is Halondris better than Lei Shen?
Loved anduin 🙂
I agree with everything except with two things.
First Fatescribe in C, absolutely hated this fight on progression and it got a lot worse during farm before it got better. Most of the mechanics including the mythic mechanic were pretty boring and uninspired. The rings had potential but by simply being able to just always go one way they lost all of it and the damage stops were atrocious. The fight has no redeeming qualities from a mechanics standpoint. Also just going to throw in that on lower difficulties it's an awful boss to pug. For me that is definitely a D tier boss.
Vigilant guardian on the other side while definitely a D tier boss in lfr/normal/heroic is fine in mythic. With the boss spawning instantly always having something to hit salvages the fight for me. And while I wouldn't call it a banger it's a somewhat fun add fiesta for me. It's at the least in the same category as shriekwing I'd say I even enjoyed it more than shriekwing.
i would put kaelthas more up, but that is because i always like bosses where healer have specific mechanic to do (and not only dispell or die)
I know you looked from a mythic perspective but as someone that only pushed aotc this expansion, I wouldn't change most of those for heroic either. Excellent video!
very wrong about sylvanis fight – absolute dogshit as well – the fact it forces you to be in there as long as possible as opposed to transitioning on your own time of on the group merit
Don't recall ever enjoying a final boss of a raid tier more than Denathrius
It was such an awesome fight, and it was awesome to "re-live" it through the Fated raids
Castle Nathria was incredible, personally disliked Sepulcher overall, with a few exceptions (Rygelon, Halondrus, I thought Skolex was okay too..)
No way huntsman was better than mother. Mother was a banger 2nd boss. Best raid this xpac was sanctum. Castle 2nd, sepulcher 3rd. However, sepulcher did have the best boss in halondrus
Vigilant heroic is striaght to F. Mythic vigilant was kinda fine (probably a B), maybe a bit too hard for a first boss but that's about all
Xymox is like a c becuase as a dh I’m force to do raid chores
Sire is the best boss by virtue of Remornia being fucking awesome
This is a B tier list.
painsmith was for sure s tier in the beginning to watch 😀 you have to use wl portals in the air that part was amazing 😉 (to watch!!!! ) 😀
Idk what the hell are you talking about, Guardian was a really fun fight. We had the best tank mechanic in the entire expansion, that we could approach in so many different ways. It was up to our team composition how many Purging Protocols our healers could take. Sure the batteries could have been more interesting but it was still a good fight, with an awesome soundtrack.
I will forever hold that the best "First Boss of Raid" is Abyssal Commander Sivarra. That boss would have been a banger is a wing capper.
Sylvanas had some okay mechanics but that fight draaagggged. I and pretty much everyone I've talked to hated how long that fight got. P1 intermission, why the fuck did they have so many Rives? It legit got boring but could get people 1 shot.
That and P2's swiss cheese bridges sucked. Sure, most folks ran across them just fine but we all know "Those" players who would slip through the holes 1 in 5 times thus bricking a few attempts each night. I'm sure the top 10 guilds never saw that issue but say as a CE raider, holy crap just too many attempts sputtered due to 1-2 falling off the edge.
Sanctum also definitely suffered from its theme. We were all sick of the Torghast optics months before this raid even came out.
the comment on 31:00 is soo spot on. You look sour AF max..this is not what I am used too from you..bit sad, lovely video otherwise.
Waiting for everyone to look for the right anima powers on taragrue was so annoying.. also I've only seen sylvanas in heroic and her P1 and obviously P2 were absolut dogshit..
