The unique part about Elisandes time-rewind wasn't that the fight reset, it's that she replicated the same abilities she had done in the previous rewind in the new one. It's like she rewinded time and the same things happened again. Mobs spawned on the same spot. The waves came at the same angle. The soaks appeared at the same spots. It repeated each rewind and added one new mechanic. It really felt like fighting a time mage. The reset at 10% is the least interesting part about her mechanics lol

One could say he chose correctly but for the wrong reason slowing down or speeding up yourself and mechanics applied to you was great. in addition to the layering of what happened in the phase(s) before happening again. didn't you also got all cds back? i loved that fight, much better than the green/red guy after her.

Argus the Unmaker Third phase. Dying was actually part of the fight, and in general, if you didn't die ever and did the mechanic during your death, you would be risking not having enough dps to end the fight

@AngDavies 5 жыл бұрын

Fun, but not unique: Teron gorefiend in black temple would kill players and the killed players would come back as ghosts who were the only ones who could dps a certain type of add. The argus one was a much improved version though, as you had no control over which player died, they didn't resurrect, and you could basically by chance have two healers die in a row, making a wipe likely.

When you was forced to spread vampirism in order to not change sides and become hostile to your friends. You can't even imagine how many times I was left without victims and beat the shit out my own raid... (DK are worst Vampires cause they are literally unkillable). 6 - Sindragosa. It was ok, when whole raid hides behind "lucky one's", but for me it was "Haha, Antimagic shield, see me in top dps!" (I did 50% of all dmg this fight) 7 - Malygos. Flying platforms!!! Fuck yeah!!! 8 - A theatre in Kharazan. You had to do it right. Most "scenes" were unbeatable and you had to die untilvthe right one.

Well. you lost the most important point on the Elisande fight (on mythic anyway): every mechanic happened at the exact same location and time in every pahse. meaning: you first pull her in p1y you get a big ground effect dealing quit a lot of damage. then you kick her in p2 and she jumps at you again, leaving another ground effect. meanwhile the effect from phase 1 spawnes, too. same in p3. same with her phase specific mechaniks. in p1 that is her orb mechanic. if you have 1 orb phase in p1 you get 1 orb phase in p2 and 1 in p3. if you have 2 you get 2 in both other phases. in p2 she cast beams at players. if you get 1/2/3 beams, you get the same amount in p3. it was quite a nice fight to do on mythic.

I dunno how you didn't mention the darkness intermission phase during Kil'Jaeden or the fact you had to use death as an actual resource for mechanics on the Argus fight as interesting mechanics. In my mind those are far more interesting than just. . . moving around the room to 4 quadrants or the boss healing back to full for a phase change.

@@razien9941 I think he didn't choose either of them, because the list only had whole fight mechanics, aside from hagara.

Hey Hiru! Awesome list, once again. I was expecting to see the beams from Mythic Archimonde on here, as that mechanic basically required an addon. Without knowing where everyone’s beams were going, you were sure to be killed by it. Also, on the Iskar fight, there was also the phantom add that would link 2 players together, and if anyone ran near a linked player that wasn’t their partner, the linked player would instantly die. Only the one holding the eye could see who they were linked to. (My guild never once successfully navigated that mechanic. We always burned the add before he could get the cast off haha)

When you were talking about how #1 made an addon popular it reminded me of Malkorok in Siege of Orgrimmar. For those that don't know Malkorok would do a cone slam in three of six sections of the room you fought him in, the slams hurt but usually wouldn't kill you if you had high health. The thing is that some time after the slams he's do another ability that hit the same three areas the slam hit, but with no visual effect on the areas during cast time and this would almost certainly kill you if you got hit. There was an addon that tracked which sections had been slammed to help you in avoiding the follow-up. Malkorok had another thing where for most of the fight any healing done to someone would give an absorb shield instead of actually restoring their health. I think Hiru has mentioned that fight not being well suited for disc priests. Which I would imagine why it didn't make this list.

Lady Vashj had a similar item toss mechanic to Anzu. Killing them elementals to loot the core and then having to throw it to someone at the top of the stairs, and then I think them having to toss it to someone near the beacons you had to use the core on [or whatever they were exactly]. I loved for years afterwards when I would see people I knew did that progression with me, targetting them and hitting my special YOU HAVE THE CORE macro. While certainly less involved that a specific addon, the macro, reasonably so, a required macro for Lady Vashj raids in my guild. The core, of note, immobilized you completely, so while it wasn't exactly a 'hot potatoe', it was a super duper heavy potatoe!

This is why you'd use Herolustwarp on the pull: to mitigate the amount of crap that would carry over to the rest of the encounter. Nighthold in general is one of the best raids ever.

I have an idea for a new list. "Top Ten Unique Models in WoW". Now, alot of character models and riggings are reused over and over again in wow. Draenei are Mogu, Saberons are Worgen, Vulpera are Goblins, etc. Even for bosses, most of them are reused from other sources. Helya is old Kiljaden, Avatar of Sargeras is Firelands Ragnaros, Gorefiend is Therazane, etc. But sometimes, Blizz creates wholely unique models for characters, and NEVER reuses any of their assets for future bosses. Like the Lich King, Madness of Deathwing, Ghuun, the Brain of Yogg-Saron, Queen Azshara, etc. There are also some pets with unique models and rigging. And hell, I know of a really obscure one that alot of people forget about. In the Howling Fjord, at Scalawag Point, there's an NPC named Olga, the Scalawag Wench, who uses a unique human model, that seems to be from WoW's alpha, for some reason.

With so many bosses, I understand that some of them WILL get cucked, but there are definitely some that deserved to be in here above boss like Hagara, Elisande or Dreamwalker. Just citing bosses from Vanilla: > Viscidius' frost / physical damage requirements > Nef's class calls > Loatheb's Healing debuff / REQUIRING multiple consumes to survive Or some things that DEFINITELY are wholely unique but mostly make up the entire encounter and not just one mechanic: > Chess event in Karazhan > Vehicle combat in Ulduar Plus, Elisande would have deserved to be on the list if you gave her justice. On mythic, the time stop mechanic isn't just a glorified phase reset that lets you execute more, but it actually activated the echoes she left behind using her other spell, making each phase more hectic with the earlier-phase spells happening at the same time as they happened in the earlier phases.

Alysrazor was one of the more interesting fights as a tank too. As a tank you had to kite and kill the big birds that spawned. The birds would hatch from an egg, and upon hatching fixate on the closest target (which should be the tank). The fixated target would do increased damage to the bird - so you were the only player in the raid who could do proper damage to it, and you had to kill it before the next egg hatched or the tornado phase began. The bird would occasionally enrage, which could be removed by feeding it a worm (i.e. kite it to the worm). This was the only way to remove the worms from the battlefield, who were particularly nasty during the tornado phase. But you couldn't just feed the worms to the bird immediately, because the worms were the only way to remove the bird's enrage.

As someone who did Ishak on mythic pre-nerf, that was one of the hardest bosses of all time. So frustrating and so so so many wipes.

Operator Thogar is my favorite raid fight in the entire damn game. Raiding it when it was current was the MOST fun I've ever had, and I wish I could go back in time to do it again.

Lich King Necrotic Plague, made tank life real scary when it passed to you at like 10 stacks and healers didn't dispel it right away

don't even have to see the video to know I'm gonna like it. Please do top 100 raid mechanics & top 100 dungeon mechanics if you get multiples from the same dungeon, just list them all the first time that dungeon comes up and go through them dungeon-wise

What about Lich King Heroic25? It has a phase that drags you into FROSTMOURNE, and you have to dodge spirits and let Terenas guide you. And this fight needed a shit ton of coordination trough Ville Spirits (which were soaked by Retri Palas with bubble) and the freezing platform that you had to step on and Arthas destroys it after. And just when you think you are done, HE KILLS EVERYONE, trying to make you a servant of the blade but Tirion breakes out of his icy prison, shatters the sword and releases all the cursed spirits who seek revange. Terenas gets out too, casting mass resurrect on all raid and then you are finally able to defeat the fallen prince who is been chocked by his daddy.

That last fight with the Eye of Anzu sounds like a Destiny raid, specifically Val Ca’our.

The massacre mechanic of the number 10 boss reminds me of a.mechanic Melchazzar in Karazhan. It basically did the same thing, only on some players and not all.

Lady Vashj also had a mechanic where ya had to pass an object to players in order to defeat her and that came out in BC, much earlier than Shadow Lord Iksar.

Heh, Chim - the fight where if you do it right as a tank you'll die. I ended up one tanking that fight pre-nerf one time from around the first double break on. Don't know what happened - experienced co-tank and healers, inexperienced DPS in that group, but my co-tank died on the first double break, then instantly died on the next after brez. We kept going so the DPS could see the fight, so certain I would die that I never bubbled off the four breaks during intermission, had them the whole time. Was a surprise when we hit phase two, an even bigger surprise was the resto shaman ankh'ing and being the last one standing getting the killing blow. There are some with really interesting mechanics also that just affect one role, like Baleroc in FL for healers as an example.

Operator thogar on Mythic was epic tbh. they made 3 trains spawn each time instead of one which made the mechanic very difficult to avoid for certain classes. there was even a phase in the fight where you had to split the raid because two add trains would simeltaniously spawn in the center 2 rails. thought i should mention the mythic mechanic because it wasn't brought to light in the video. made the fight 10x more interesting

I remember on Iskar would also use the Fel Chakram on three people who had to run to specific spots on the platform so it bounced perfectly between them. but as a priest, the talent that almost everyone forgot about but I LOVED being able to use, Spectral Guise let you drop Fel Chakram target making it so no one had to move and it was almost always available unless you got targeted back to back. I want Spectral Guise back =[

I think you underplayed the time rewind aspect of the Elisande fight as it was an actual time rewind. On heroic and later her abilities echoed through time and she used the previous abilities she tried out to kill us at the exact time and place how it played out in the first or second time line. I think that really gave it a feeling that she really rewinded time for herself and tries something new.

Hey, something I can actually comment on. Raiding's what I play wow for, and even though I only joined in the tail end of Tomb of Sargeras, I can appreciate all the cool unique stuff that's been done since I started and in the past. My favorite fights for this type of category are KJ's second intermission, Argus's third and fourth phases, Mekkatorque's robots and Stormwall's second phase from BDA, and Orgozoa's tanking mechanics from AEP. Honorable mention to basically the entire Azshara fight, even if it's a tad annoying at times.

Missed out on the "pass the ball" on lady Vashj in TBC, that was unique for the time, most of the current raid mechanics came out in TBC and Lichking.

@Geckomayhem 5 жыл бұрын

Lady Vashj, Serpentshrine Cavern, used an item pickup mechanic. Not nearly as pass heavy as the Iskar fight, but it could be a pain waiting for the Tainted Elementals to spawn so you could kill them for the Tainted Cores (four times) to debuff the boss-and ensure that someone picked up the item and used it on her.
