If you took a look at what I said and actually broke down the MECHANICS you can see in the video you can see clear options of how to combat each thing Ifrit does. All of things, broken down and analyzed are not difficult. With the right coordination/movement and court vision/reaction time the fight looks simple. If you play with baddies then that is your fault.



it proves that not every fight in WoW is what Konachibi claims it to be.

either the graphics in wow really are that bad or its just a bad vid but i really cant make out anything in it, except the boss. everything is very small.

Oh... Looks like all the trolls are finally waking up.

The reason I can comment on what boss fights in WoW are like is because I played it for 5 years, been in pretty much every heroic dungeon, 10, 25 and heroic version raids and honestly it's only Cataclysm that's started to actually have proper boss fights instead of the terrible 'lack of tactics' fights I mentioned. Before Cata my guild could do each Wotlk heroic dungeon in 10 minutes per dungeon, sometimes less, we were farming Icecrown Citadel every week up to Sindragosa untill we finally got fed up of doing the same boring terrible tactics again and again and again. There's no thinking involved in boss fights from Vanilla up to Wotlk, there's only the odd mild exception every once in a while, and usually even in those cases people can make mistakes with no real danger.

That Ifrit fights looks very much like '1 mistake, and you die'.

I believe the POV is from Priest and they zoom out the camera past max to get a birds eye view of the battlefield. Makes things much easier to manage. Between 00:00 and 5:00 you should be able to see that the tank has the boss, moving him around while DPS and off tanks are focusing on adds while moving around the map to avoid voidzones. At 5:00 you should be able to make out everyone dip duck dodge dive duck dodging their way through flame tornadoes. Past that you should see everyone converging on the boss to burst damage it down while it's on the ground. Then it's rinse/repeat.

I think there are other threads where you can compare dick sizes.

Stay on topic people, this is not about how easy or hard this fight is, the thread is about what you can see in the short video SE posted.

If you think it's going to be an easy fight, good for you.
