We had to bench a number of players due to dying in p1 and damage for our first kill which was around the point where they made the hotfix that made a few deaths in p1 not an autowipe. Somehow every week after that kill we’ve killed ansurek again the most recent hotfixes are nice, though it is sometimes annoying how fast a wipe can occur on this fight.
As for difficulty over the past few tiers heroic I think ansurek was above average difficulty for a heroic boss, but a lot of that came down to it being above average on personal responsibility. The ansurek that wipes you if one person dies, and now the ansurek that wipes you if two people don’t know what odd and even are a rough thing for casualish guilds. Several other end bosses were more intense overall, like raz, sylv, and denathrius, but I’d say ansurek had the nastiest early fight prog I’ve experienced since heroic kj because even the “harder” heroic bosses still had a prog curve that wasn’t stay in p1 until you bench your low end.
Grats on aotc btw.
