BunnychanFarabee: Mythic Stone Legion not being on this list is a warcrime.

markuslc1888: apart from rygeleon and sylvanas i totally agree with this list, chess event in karazhan and actually the entire hyjal raid apart from archimonde was also annoying AF

_agx: Why the literal fuck is rygelon on the list, one of the best bosses in recent years

drac5027: Rygelon is just wrong. It was a banger

bengy5524: Ngl, i LOVED the faction champions encounter

itskhro: Rygelon one was personal for sure lol

DurendilLeHunt: Rygelon is a really great boss.

Was also easier than most mythic bosses in SOO, so it wasn't hard.

Very similar to Ky'veza Mythic, which is the best fight in Nerub'ar

hellboy19991: The roll mechanic on Spine of Deathwing did not work that way. If everyone in the raid was on one side of the fighting space, he would initiate a roll. After ~5 seconds he would throw off every big add and every player that wasn't tethered down in the wounds, instantly killing them. Once after destroying every plate you'd roll once deliberately to get rid of the adds, otherwise you'd never roll. On retail he is constantly trying to roll, because as a single player you can't be on both sides at once.

Similarly the Dark Animus fight was essentially, 2 small adds go near each other and you wipe, not even tanks could survive it for more than a few seconds. No other mechanics really mattered, at least on normal.

My personal #1 boss for this list would have been Mekkatorgue in BoDA. The color game in the bots was annoying enough, but the line of sight mechanic was torture. Doing nothing for a solid 20 seconds at a time, with a full minute downtime phase in the middle of the fight. It also didn't help that you only had a tiny space where you could realistically stand without the line of sight mechanic hitting you. Double that with the fact that every ranged player wanted to have the trinket that didn't want you to stack. My raid had eventually a rule that we would just not use that trinket on the fight because it would incentivse degenerate playstyles that were not worth it.

kyubeycoobie3568: I liked the faction champions doing pvp strats on a raid was unique

nickh4354: You need to make an emergency apology video about Rygelon, it's absolutely one of the most revered boss fights over the past 5 years.

Redfeather_5784: Kinda surprising that Fallen Avatar, TOS KJ, and the Blast furnace didn't appear on this.

At least I find those 3 beyond irritating imo.

Hamad7360: I am surprised Ulduar first boss is not mentioned

badicusvibesimus182: I remember every time faction champions came up I would become the de-facto raid leader for that single fight- as the only person in the guild who did any pvp at all.

What a sh*tshow.

DW-lb6hw: I loved Faction Champions, it was so different.

jonillow: So since Siege of Orgrimmar is the only raid featured twice, we can safely call Siege the most annoying raid of all time.

Y0G0FU: As a healer.. Spine of Deathwing is simply THE WORST fight ever.

gemmabarnes: Number 2 should of been number 1

kil6743: I’ve never heard of Rygelon being disliked before…Sylvanas was also a pretty good boss, but Rygelon is considered one of the better bosses of the expansion so idk how he possibly ended up on this list at all

kattatonikuwu: MoP Classic HYPE. MoP Classic HYPE.

prainiak5710: I actually loved every single bit of Rygelon no matter if progress or reclear, boss was very well designed

origami83: The thing with razorgore was that there were 2 many adds to kill. So the trick was to kill the ranged adds and kite the melee ones. So the tanks had to run around and grab aggro on the spawning melee adds before a healer was killed by them. This also meant that the tanks were running around with a growing group of angry mogs following them and stopping meant insta death. The healers had to be careful not to draw aggro away from the tanks. Pure chaos, spend at least 2 months progressing on it back then.

Sideshownicful: Faction Champion guide

-Have a rogue spec in throwing specialization (gives fan of knives an interrupt)

-Group up so all the mobs are in range

-Have the rogue spam fan of knives as the rest of the raid focuses on melee mobs, since the casters are now completely neutralized.

This was nerfed in 3.2.2, but by then, everyone out-geared the fight

MoodyHD-: A cool idea would be the top 10 most powerful members of each class, maybe one list for each class?

EctocoolerEI: Honestly I wish CC and interrupts were more common in modern fights. It's more fun than circles and made you a better player

Boombomb: I really liked razorgore in Classic. It was a breath of fresh air and an easy win.

Olejowy89: The bosses that made me rethink if the game is still worth playing (from the highest difficulty level) were:

- Spine of Deathwing

- Blast Furnace

- Uu'nat

- Avatar of Sargeras

- Queen Azshara

- Stone Generals

- Fatescribe

- Tindral Sageswift

I am surprised only one of them got to the list :P Maybe I have no taste :P
