      @corintibbetts-harlow8021 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Honestly all the Vael part was pretty misinformed tbh. It wasn't difficult because of personal responsibility or because of getting unlucky and your tanks getting picked. Tanks were guaranteed to get selected every 3rd BA as someone above said, so over the course of the fight you would have to tank swap 4 or 5 times; this was the hard part. You needed your warriors to manage their threat so that when each tank got BA and died, the next one up to tank was second highest on threat and could seamlessly move in and take aggro without turning Vael. He had a frontal fire breath and a chaining cleave, either of which would easily cause a wipe if a single one went off into the raid.
      Vael was also immune to taunt and because of the BA buff, threat generation was through the roof for all your dps, so managing threat for the tank swap and not having any other dps pull aggro or mess up the tank swap transitions was tricky, especially because it was so unlike any other fight that had come before it; you had had to manage threat before, but there really weren't many bosses with dps checks / enrage mechanics at that point in the game, so the way most players were used to managing threat was just by slowing / stopping dps if things looked dicey. There also weren't any accurate threat meter addons at the time, and even dps meters were pretty unreliable, not to mention exactly how threat worked was pretty murky at this point.
      Lastly, it was a reasonably intense healing check with constant aoe damage going out onto the whole raid which required spam aoe healing, which again players weren't used to; healing output at this time was heavily limited by mana pools and regen outside of the 5 second rule, which lead to a playstyle of being very conservative with your casts as a healer; this fight was the complete opposite of that. Combine all that with a 1 hour per reset window in which to attempt the boss (that was removed after a few weeks of BWL's release iirc), and you've got a big roadblock for most guilds.

    Viscidus was infinity harder than ouro in aq40. So much poison aoe damage that required a ton of venom sac farming pre raid. Half the raid is required to run engineering for goblin sapper charges on slimes. Clouds of poison random spawning all over the place and you had to freeze and shatter the boss in order to do damage. Ouro just needed mage tanks standing at max range blowing dps cool downs to keep the boss’ attention and for the sand blast they just stepped out of range. Everyone else stands behind the boss and nukes it.

    I feel like Council of Illidari from the Black Temple should be in this list as well. I don’t think it had too much wipes, but I feel like this is one of the bosses that also needed the players to be perfectly good in what they do AND it had a lot of randomness in it. You could play perfectly and still wipe because the wrong healer got stunned at the wrong time. Even overgeared groups with full sunwell gear had problems at this boss.
    Leatherworking and Enchanting were the go to combo pre Sunwell as well. Some guilds needed you to have your rings enchanted (you could unlearn enchanting after that) and have leatherworking so everyone in the raid hat drums at any given time.
    I think jewelcrafting was needed in sunwell as well, but you still had to get your rings enchanted. I’m pretty sure I unlearned and learned jewelcrafting and enchanting several times :D what a pain

    One correction: Shaman's Spirit Link did not heal/damage and didn't remove these debuffs instantly (even during HC world first). You still needed to heal the targets with the debuff. However, the main benefit of resto shamans were:
    1. You were able to keep the debuffed people alive in high damage phases by AOE Heal + Spirit Link
    2. Mana Tide with that many arcane mages synergizes well

      We had 3 spriests in our raid group (including me). All 3 of us had grip macros on our main tank and on top of all the other moving around, we had to keep as far away from him as possible, when it was our turn in the grip rotation, so when he called, we would insta grip him to the other end of the spine, and he could manage to drop the stacks that way. We didnt have the option of class stacking, and our healers just couldnt manage to heal through it all (we also had only 1 shammy). It was a bit complex, but it worked for us.

    @Outwardpd 3 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    Star Augur was actually a decently easy boss on release of nighthold, guilds would 2 heal it because he didn't do much burst damage and make the dps check very easy. They actually ended up buffing the boss more than they nerfed him with the changes which made the boss not really 2 healable during prog anymore by making most of his mechanics do an absolute fuckload of damage to the point where classes with bad defensives were guaranteed to die if they got unlucky, the ice phase in particular (luckily the first phase) the dot mechanic he would randomly place on people requiring them to move out of the raid (meaning 1 or 2 healers at most can reach them) did so much damage that if they got it twice in a row and didn't have a fuckload of defensives they would just die. So Star augur actually wiped guilds more on its 'nerf' than before it, it was an awful fight because the only damage blizzard could really buff on the fight made the mechanics nail bitingly annoying for healers buffing some abilities by 50% or so, by the end of that tier we had wiped more on star augur than gul'dan.

    • @Forndrome
      @Forndrome 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I progressed quite late on Star Augur, but I also remember 1 mess up on the celestial alignment mechanic meaning a wipe... I believe the damage didn't quite one-shot, but it still dealt a large chunk of one's health to the point where if someone wasn't close to topped off they'd die, and this usually meant 2-4 players would die from having lost some health to various mechanics, meaning we'd most likely fail the DPS check later, and a wipe would be called.

    If I remember right, M'uru was so hard that during the PTRs before the Sunwell patch even released, world renowned guilds were disbanding due to wipes on him and they actually gave him the tag under his name as a joke during PTRs.
    My guild (Which was the #2/3 guild on my server) was only able to defeat him after 3.0 came out (which was the blanket nerf for Wrath that allowed a lot of guilds to even kill Kalecgos, let alone get anywhere near M'uru), and even then 24 / 25 people were dead w/ M'uru at 1% and our friggen MVP offtank managed the last hits.

And it was kinda bs that they changed it after someone had done it and made it almost impossible for other guilds following after them.

    As I recall Vael cast it specifically on the tanks in order in addition to on the dps. And there was no taunting him, so the tanks had to stagger their threat and stand in a line to take over, since and breath anywhere than on the main tank would be a wipe. So a big dps crit from a +100 person or wrong threat order on tanks was gg.

    M'uru will still be hard today. Getting DPS to switch to adds or being at a point where they need to stop doing damage is still a problem in 2020. I theorize that if Blizzard ever made a boss that would just one shot the top DPS every minute of the fight if that DPS was top DPS for 30 seconds it would be an unbeatable boss. Getting players to stop pushing buttons is surprisingly harder than teaching them what buttons to push and what gear they need.

      There should be a boss of nothing but buffs and debuffs where if you dps the wrong thing, you die. If you move when you shouldn't, you die. If you fail to move when you should, you die. If you dispel the wrong thing, you die. If you don't dispel the right thing, you die. Etc.
      It can be a council fight called "The Accountability Personnel" (personal accountability).
      There should also be an ogre or hozen who runs over and teabags anyone who fails, named Git'gud.

To be fair, we WERE doing it on mythic difficultly, but it was still too hard. And for the final boss, we just couldn’t do it. No matter how many more skilled people we invited we still couldn’t do it. Now that everyone is weak af I don’t think I’m gonna be able to do it for a while.

    I think it's funny how number seven wound up getting just as much problems in remix when it happened. Once again, the mathematics win the day. There was also an issue depending on the tank you had, as some would just heal themselves a little bit too quickly and would accidentally rip the agro, which for once, was bad for a tank. Seeing this video and remembering my heroic attempt of ToT in remix got me to laugh at how little changes

      Not exactly true. He was just, like most bosses in there, optional. And since imperator was mainly a mechanics fight, not a numbers fight, they desided to do imperator first. Butcher was hard for sure tho. I'd say he deserves an honorable mention, same as blast furnace and gorefiend. People hate on WoD, but the raids were fucking great!

    Siegecrafter was a fucking nightmare for me. Back then i was playing in an Oceanic raiding guild because i was working night shifts and that was the only way i could play in a guild that raided at hours that suited me (very early morning for me). Thankfully they hadn't switched the Oceanic data-center to Sydney yet, but i was still playing with 300+ ping from playing on a west coast data-center from the east coast, which was manageable most of the time.
    The kicker? I was a Hunter an our RL INSISTED that Hunters needed to do EVERY belt. How? If you entered the tube while having the debuff, you get spit back out right? Still happens to us, but if you timed disengage right, you could still land back on the belt while getting spat out by the tube. Which wasn't all that hard to pull off... with normal ping. With 300+ MS. It was something else entirely.
    Oh btw, if you misstimed Disengage, you just died.

I remember reading somewhere that that the average progression kill attempts for muru was 80, which for a boss that's over a decade old and the amount of class stacking and min/max culture that exists now a days is saying something.

Where one wrong positioned group member meant atleast 20 dead people :P But then again.. C´Thun was overtuned as frick and one of the most bugged Boss ever released :D M´uru had the same curse as many other bosses.. it was highly overtuned. The Entropios phase even if you killed the adds at the perfect time was near impossible before the nerfs. Even with Leatherworking stacking, Shaman stacking and more. If the classic Version will get upgraded to Burning Crusade i doubt Blizz will add the overtuned version of M´uru in. So yeah he will be basically a free kill for people that know what they have to do.
