Oh look, filler blog content Okay so you know I like lists? Well, here’s a list of the bosses in this wonderous expansion I like the least, because everyone likes opinions.
These are in no particular order, sweeties. Also I’m just getting the images from Google Image Search, they’re like the first ones or something. Like hell do I care enough about these AWFUL BOSSES to make custom sexy images.
Hellfire Assault
Okay so I googled Hellfire Assault and the above image came from… my own blog? OKAY THEN.
Can you even CALL this a boss? I mean, there’s Siegemaster Mar’tak at the start of the fight, but she runs away at 50% health and nowadays that takes, what, 5 seconds? Then follows trash wave after trash wave. It’s like Galakras in Siege of Orgrimmar, except not as cool because there’s no fucking DRAGONS.
I swear it’s the longest boss in the bloody instance, bar Mannoroth or something.
Hans’gar and Franzok
Okay so we have Hans Gruber and Franziska von Karma or whatever they’re called from Blackrock Foundry. They have amusing soundbites, sure, and comedy German accents because why not? I dislike them though because of the conveyors and stampers and the having to move ALL THE TIME and seriously this is not a fight for Destruction Warlocks WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME BLIZZARD?!
*casts Chaos Bolt*
*has to move*
*interrupts cast*
times a MILLION.
The Blast Furnace
Like, I’ve not done this on Normal+ but the LFR version of this fight is a goddamn nightmare because nobody seems to know what they’re doing. I assume an organised group can knock it out the park with 0 effort, but the random nature of LFR means this fight just becomes a 10 minute slog as everyone ignores the enemies at the side, or the dudes making shields, or just plain stands in fire.

THIS IS FINE

oh come on you knew that was coming.
Hellfire High Council
Ostensibly this is an easy fight. We’ve never had an issue with it as a guild, and even in LFR it goes down like a sack of spuds, so why list it here?
BECAUSE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY WILL YOU NOT DROP THE HEROIC DESECRATED SHADOWMOON INSIGNIA I’VE BEEN WANTING FOR MONTHS?!
That’s right, people. Selfish reasons!
So this expansion has been largely successful raid-wise, as there’s only a handful of encounters that are mechanically troubling for me, as opposed to Mists of Pandaria, where I could shout endless obscenities at Elegon, Un’sok, Garalon, Lei Shi, Durumu et al. Which bosses have been in YOUR nightmares in Warlords? Do let me know!
Now you can have Durumu as a pet of your own, to remind you of all the good times that you had.
I am excited about that! I hope he makes little mazes and fires puns about eyes and sight and whatnot.
Surely those are comedy Austrian accents, after Ahnold?
AH yes, you’re right! They have similar accents/languages and I plumped with the wrong country :O
