What is the hardest MMO fight you ever had?

It's funny to see how many FFXI players are there here. I never realized so many ppl played FFXI, heh.

I bet for most lvl 70 RDMs in FFXI, it was MAAT lmao

There are a lot of things back in xi that were hard, but because most fights were open world, you could bring an army or solo/low man it. Obviously the solo/low man attempt were the more challenging, but you never had to do them that way in the 1st place so kinda hard to say. A ton of that content was really challenging, but that was because we chose to do it with as few people as possible in order to reduce competition for drops or just to say we did it. I didn't get into other mmos as seriously as xi so my endgame style experience starts there and ends here.

Well personally for me I had good groups of peeps for sky and what not, so I can't attest to Kirin being difficult, (LONG ASS FIGHT) but never difficult. I think the truly hardest fight for me was back in FFXI and it was against Maat for my G5 as RDM.

I spent months prepping for that fight, even borrowing a friends Enfeebling torque, cause I was afraid my Spider Torque would not be enough. Having the right HQ food, having my testimony ready for when I was ready, all my gear sets, HQ elemental staves (though all I had at the time was Dark/Light for Cures/Sleep landing.) All my pieces for Enfeebling and Elemental spells, even for healing and enhancing just to have the max I possibly could achieve at the time. That fight was so prep intensive and going into and doing the fight it was as if the fight lasted for hours yet was over in the blink of an eye, especially when you lost.

I honestly would LOVE Maat/G5 type fights to make it into FFXIV:ARR. Would really prove you know your job well, and it was fun no matter how hard it was for me back on the RDM Maat fight (Went 2/23 on that fight, went basically 1/1 on the other jobs I got to 75.)

I went against Maat as WHM the first time. As a level 66 Tarutaru. And somehow won with 30 HP left. (WHMs just had to survive for 5 minutes - WHM Maat turned into a joke a few years later when they added Repose.)

Absolute Virtue at lvl75 cap... all the numbers of hours and tries I spent with JP LS on my pld/nin tanking JoL and then AV just to get floored by chainspell meteors.
All my nin tools wasted...

Probably Garrosh when SoO was relevant. The fight required such absolute raid awareness from everyone especially once you reached phase 2.5. I never got to Heroic so I have no idea how much harder that was besides the bs phase 4 stuff.

Wow - King Bangalesh.


Me being a warrior and my Priest friend were level 35, and Bangalesh was level a level 43 elite in vanilla wow. It was intense and on a whim, and we barely managed to do it, my friends mana barely able to keep up with anything when he spawnd the two adds. It took forever, although probably more like 20 minutes, both of us had to use everything at our disposal to keep the fight going, me even having to let one of the adds chew on him for a bit since I couldn't take the damage of all three. After he finally fell, both of us cheered at our success and still remember it as one of the best times we've had in video games.

... though I suppose that's probably not what you mean by 'difficult' huh? Oops.
