Quote:Thought it would be fun again to rate the bosses in TBC now that i have had the priviledge of finishing all current content. Just to give a little hope for those that think only 5 day guilds complete all current content. My little guild has 30 high attendance raiders. We raid Tuesday 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM, Thursday 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM and Sunday 2:30 PM to 9:30 PM. On 12 to 14 hours a week we have cleared all the raid zones the game has to offer. It can be done if you have very similar like minded people (we even have a Vivendi Universal dev who raids with us that will remain nameless )
1. Kael'thas--Pre pre nerf Kael'thas was undoubtedly for me the most difficult complex boss in the game. There are 5 phases to this one and each phase offers its own challenges and obstacles. It took us 5 weeks to learn each of the phases and eventually put it all together to down this boss. This boss really taught my guild how to raid so there was some incredible lessons learned.
I'm not sure how meaningful this list is if you include past versions of bosses. At first, I was going to just reply with my own list, but all ten places on the list wound up being pre-nerf boss versions (all but one from the horror that was 2.0 raiding).
A list composed of boss encounters that no one can fight any more has a certain academic interest to it, but probably not relevant to most people who never saw all the prior versions and never will.
Anyway, I'll do a list of current version difficulty later, but here, in brief, is my list for top ten hardest boss fights, all versions.
1. Kael'thas 2.0.
2. Vashj 2.0.
3. Al'ar 2.0.
4. Mother Shahraz 2.1.
5. Leotheras 2.0.
6. Magtheridon 2.0, pre-hotfix.
7. Gruul 2.0, pre-hotfixes.
8. Hydross 2.0.
9. Lurker 2.0.
10. Nightbane 2.0, presuming the Blessing of Protection exploit is not used.
