    Sire Denathrius is one of the best Bosses ever. The Visuals, the Atmosphere, the Voicelines and the unique Mechanics just make for the perfect mix.

      Ive been mythic raiding since nighthold, and sire denathrius is by far my favorite fight ever. It was the perfect first phase where you kinda just got it eventually, but it took a lot of coordination and planning still. P2 was amazing the 4 different adds that require different ways to kill each utilizing the mirrors and other mechanics. P3 the dance with huge healing checks, each phase of the boss having to do opposite mechanics. Once you got it it made sense but it took such great coordination and personal responsibility. Amazing boss, 10/10.

  • @comensee2461
    @comensee2461 Рік тому +53

    Shadowlands was a rollercoaster in terms of difficulty.
    1. Castle Nathria was by far the hardest early raid they've ever implemented and it was a good tier overall. Sire Denathrius was an epic fight, especially on Mythic when you had to run through like 40 lines across the screen at once at the end. The Council of Blood was pretty fun, especially when everyone had to dance. In terms of class balance: CN was at its worst because the meta comp stacking heavily favored certain specs over others.
    2. Sanctum of Domination was very inconsistent on difficulty. There were a lot of bosses that were sub-20 pulls then you got to Painsmith and Sylvanas and they took 100s of pulls on Mythic. Sylvanas was the worst because she took 15 minutes and I absolutely hated Painsmith because one mistake and you die. Fatescribe was annoying because if one person made a mistake the whole raid would explode. I thought Soulrender and the Remnant of Ner'zhul were pretty cool.
    3. Sepulcher of the First Ones was very overtuned, but had some cool fights. Anduin, Rygelon, and the Crab were fun. The Jailer was one of the lamest end game bosses. You literally just moved around in a room jumping in holes and breaking pillars.

    • @tomeekun
      @tomeekun Рік тому +2

      Sepulcher wasn't that overtuned to be honest. It's just it was designed with double legendaries in mind, and we didn't have acces to them until like 2 or 3 weeks down the patch. Afterwards it was more reasonable.

    Maybe unpopular opinion but I really liked the court boss fight in Nathria especially on hc. It was a good step up in difficulty and I absolutely loved the idea of altering the fight and mechanics depending on the order you kill the bosses. I also think that putting in all these dance related abilities was just hilarious.
    Also I rky liked the jailer fight as a tank. Soaking those massive tank combo felt so satisfieing and i actually had a bit more agency then just " stand on X and taunt at 3 stacks" defenetly need more of those

    The only one I disagree with is Sylvanas
    Her fight is so punishing when you’re learning for the first time, and the fact that the bridges have HOLES in them was the first middle finger they have to us. The second is the fact that the fight basically changes locations only. And the third, we get her to 50% health, and technically, we LOSE and sylvanas just passes out after something that should’ve been an epic lore moment.

  • @TylerR909
    @TylerR909 Рік тому +4

    I think there are a couple keys from some of these fights. One is Play-of-the-game moments where 1 player can save the entire raid from a wipe. Xy'mox was fun because if 2 DPS were running off with the portal, then as a SPriest I could just Lifegrip one into the right spot and fix the problem. And I could keep up DPS to boot. A couple fun fights like that. A second key is the "Click factor." When your raid is banging its head against the wall, then suddenly the mood of the entire raid shifts because ~something~ just clicked and everyone felt it. You may still be several wipes away from the kill, but these mechanics you've been fussing over for awhile suddenly fall into place and you're just in the cleanup and execute phase. That was Sire Denathrius for a lot of people.

    Mythic Sludgefist is probably the best Patchwerk style fight in the game hands down. The mechanics were tough, but you could still plant and DPS and you needed too because somehow even later into the expansion most guilds first kill was after hitting the wall with all 4 pillars gone.
    I did like Rhylegon, it just wasn't quite sludgefist level of good. And Terrorgrue was just fun each week with different powers and fucking with the raid with the annoying ones
    Crab was fun on mythic just to be able to say "I did it" and we only killed it twice. And it was in a very nerfed state , not the last set but it had been hit with hefty nerfs to the bomb timings when we got there.

  • @hernanstanden824

Nathria has to be one of my favorite raids ever, I haven't been playing the game too long (joined at the beginning of BfA) but the only boss I can remember disliking from that raid is Inerva Darkvein because of the annoying orb mechanics. Maybe an unpopular opinion but N'Zoth was my favorite boss for a while and though Denathrius didn't take his spot, he got pretty close. The thing that makes Denathrius is his charisma, he's one of those villains you just love to hate and I'm excited for his return at some point in the future.

    Painsmith for me was the most fun boss for me mechanics-wise, maybe more than Sire. Just had a great balance of just difficult enough, and forcing you to be on your toes, without being overly punishing or overtuned.
    Halondrus definitely had a great feel thanks to great sound design and visual, especially with a cool transition phase. The ramp up to the hectic last phase is definitely heartracing.
    I'd swap out Sylvanas for Soulrender tbh. Sylvanas was so long and tedious, with a terrible phase 2 and pretty meh phase 1 and 3. Her being the final boss makes the fight even worse since final bosses are typically the best fights of raids.

    Halondrus was the reason I couldn't hate on the Automa despite the whole, "they're just robots," aspect of them.
    When you witness Halondrus in action it actually reestablishes some of the "unknowable/beyond our understanding" feel of the cosmos. The sights and sounds of it just doing what it does are what sell it. To me it seems the only reason it fights us is because we're annoyances interfering with it doing its job. Also the fact we don't actually destroy Holondrus but get it to "recall" or retreat helps in this regard.
    Oh and I would completely swap the Sylvanas fight with the Jailer fight for #9. Why? Because, at least on the difficulty I did it on, it was refreshingly easy. It's like they finally understood how much people disliked Zovaal and gave us a break when it came to his fight. I definitely was relieved that I didn't have moments of getting stuck on a fight against such a lame villain.

So many fun raid fights in SL's.

    Hot take incoming: My favorite boss is Dausegne. On Normal and Heroic, she had way too little health, but on Mythic, she had buffed up and was ready for a long haul. Players had to focus on dodging her rings, focusing down her add, and handling a soak mechanic that was really painful to do as intended.
    On top of all of that, she was NEVER nerfed. She stood at the pinnacle of her design from start to finish. Every other boss got shafted at some point, but Dausegne lived on!

  • @nakeela
    @nakeela Рік тому

    For Remnant of Ner'zhul you actually could Mass Dispell the bombs and it was one of the key strategies to have an easier time on Mythic, especially in 3rd phase. The only bit that didn't work was there was a low chance that one of the bomb guys would get knocked away from the other bomb holder instead, so players who could negate the knockback or save themselves would position themselves just barely in front of the guy who couldn't. The Mass Dispell strat was such a strong option that many guilds required not just one but two Priests to just to cover every bomb spawn even if one of the Priests was low geared or low skilled, so I'm not sure where you're getting the bit about not being able to MD the bombs.

    Just to think that during raid testing Halondrus was a totally different fight. There were pillars around the room that were immune to damage that gave the boss a constant damage reduction. Tanks needed to point the beam at the pillars which would allow for them to be damaged to progress the encounter. Then the fight was changed to what it ended up being on live without any public testing on the new version.

    @fallhayv8470 Рік тому

    Sylvanas fight was cool thematically as an event. You could do it once in LFR and call it incredible, because of storytelling and overall design.
    But it fails spectacularly on prog and reclears because of 2 things
    1) It is SO LONG. You can literally Bloodlust twice on it, even when you are super geared by the end of expac.
    2) That dispel mechanic on the last phase. If you do it wrong - you wipe immidiately, it is a oneshot mechanic. It requires every single person in your raid to deal with it in some way, whether to avoid puddles, call for dispels when you accidentally collect it, and for every person in the raid to avoid the corner the tank is while the tank is getting their dispel. And to add an insult to injury, it is a completely new mechanic, it only appears on p3 in any for for the first time. Imagine you've been learning first 2 phases, you arrive and p3, and you see that, you wipe. Now you gotta suffer another 10 minutes of intense bossfight just to arrive to p3 again ONLY TO TRY THE NEW MECHANIC AGAIN AND TRY TO LEARN IT.
    You get to try once every 12-14 minutes, considering wipe recovery times, means about 5-6 tries per hour at best. Considering that it is the last boss of the raid, it is supposed to be hard, and you should spend your most wipes on prog there, up to 200-300 wipes on mythic at times. That is about 50 hours of wiping trying to just get to that past phase mechanic and learn it. most raid times are about 3-4 hours a day, with a middling guild doing 3-4 days per week raiding. That makes 15 or so weeks of prog for sylvanas, FOUR MONTHS JUST WIPING ON THAT STUPID BANSHEE BITCH, SUFFERING A SLOG OF 2 FIRST PHASES JUST TO SEE THE DISPEL MECHANIC AND TRY IT AGAIN.
    Again, in theory, as a one-off thing its fun to do it. Once in LFR. It is not made as it is to be a part of regular raid content.

    Sludgefist was mostly right, but it's missing three bits in its description, and one mistake. It's not a random player he charges, it's always the closest Tank. The three missing bits are the knockback and the associated communication needed (If one person pushes through/immunes, they die anyway due to chain snap), the chain yank at a pack of ranged players where you either had to carefully plan who went into it in Heroic or you had to keep enough immune-capable ranged players to counter the yank, and lastly, on Mythic, the impacts would spawn damage zones where you needed four groups to soak, and then twelve players to soak.

    10. Terragrue. Ok, let's say I agree I'm not sure if it would make my list but everything you said is correct
    9. Sylvanas. I have super mixed feelings abaut this boss I both love and hate it, the worst part was phase 1.5 where she throws shit at you for a minute, and entire raid goes afk on safespots. Phase 2 however was fine, they did EXACLY the fix you want them to...just on Mythic. In general this fight was clearly designed on Mythic, and then they went "shit what do we do to make it beatable for HC players"...aaaand they removed all fun stuff from phase 1, turned phase 1.5 from ~20sec of extreame onsloth-->minute of being afk, into just being afk. and Phase 2 into the snorefest it was...3rd phase was fine on HC tho
    8. Ner'Zul HELL NO! This is BY FAR the most hated boss from entire raid. It's the boss, that is fun for first ~30 wipes, but from there to kill it's ragefest, and on farm guids want to kill each other cuz so many dumb shit was happening here every time for everyone (on Mythic, obviously, HC version is so stripped down, the rage factor disapears, cuz there are no overleaps anymore)
    7. Rygelon yea I agree, good fight, had some bullshit moments, but it's fine for second to last boss
    6. Sludgefist...ah I see, you play ranged...good, melee will kill you for putting it here tho xD
    5. Yea, I personally hate this, but it's great overall and I'm just biased, cuz I never learned to play it properly
    4. YES! Everything you said is correct. It's the final boss in the middle of the raid...and then they turned yellow and black runes from "touch anyone other than opposite colour and you wipe" into HC version, making the mechanic totaly trivial, but rest of the fight still stands as great
    3. UNLEASH THE INSTRUMENT! SPIKED DEATH COMES FOR YOU! ... yes I went insane during progression, why ask? I used to know all his voicelanes on all timers, and yell these during "these pulls where boss was pracricly dead AND WE WAITED FOR 3 IDIOTS WHO KEEPT FUCKING THINGS UP"...one never learned so we to this day joke around, we learned how to kill this boss as team of 19 with 3 healers...or 4 healers despite bringing 5? shit I don't remember now xD
    2. Fight isn't THAT great, but Daddy D. Is the greatest thing that came out from shadowlands, so yea we all love this
    1. Dude...move? mechanics? FUCKING BOMBS!...on top of mechanics...and insane DPS checks...and intermission...with bombs...yea Mythic version was wild, but super fun

    @HavocHounds1988 Рік тому

    Lol, up to 10 minutes you say for Sylvanas that's cute, you were able to use Bloodlust on the pull and then again on the third platform in phase 3, she took closer to 14 minutes unless you completely outgeared the fight, but I bet it still would be around 12 minutes. Honestly the second phase wasn't that bad, I personally think the worst part about her fight was the first phase which was basically a formality and not really needed.

    In my opinion Halondrus was just on Mythic the best fight shadowlands, because it was so mechanically challenging and I loved Progressing it. On Heroic/Normal the boss made cool sounds and all but wasn’t that fun to play imo. If you want to rate the best bosses overall I wouldn’t put him that high on the list compared to bosses like Sludgefist or Sire who where also quite unique and fun to play on heroic
