So Ragnaros and Onyxia were just defeated in the World First Kill yesterday.
People tell me that mechanics wise, most of the fights in Molten Core and Onyxia’s Lair is just Tank and Spank and crowd controlling a lot of adds.
But I am wondering if Neferian’s Lair was an increase in challenge?
From my experience soloing it live, the first boss was a bit of a trick thing because you had to control “the boss” and destroy all the eggs in the room while keeping the boss alive.
The second is a Dragon fight called Vaelastrasz the Corrupt, also known as the Guildbreaker because so many people could never pass this boss back in the day. And Nefarian himself is just as tough they say?
Vael probably has the easiest mechanics of any fight and is pretty much a gear check. With 1.12 stats and world buffs he’ll be dead pretty quickly.
Broodlord could potentially 1 shot tanks (another gear check) and is pretty much the definition of spank and tank. The room before him would probably be the most annoying to try to drag a PuG through though…
The drakes were never that difficult to begin with. Loot pinatas.
Chromaggus had some mechanics that required people to pay attention to debuffs, but it wasn’t that difficult from what I remember.
Nefarian had some RNG attached. First time we got to him in 2004/2005 we had red/black adds from what I remember, which were the most difficult pair of colors. The week after we got easy colors and downed him.
