Significant normal mode Elegon nerfs

[Taiyoken]

but heroic is reversed, elegon isn't that much harder on heroic most guilds do him 4th and spirit kings 5th, while will is harder than elegon, its around the same as spirit kings. so kinda silly to make 6th hc boss the 4th hardest.

I think Elegon on Heroic is actually easier than normal mode in terms of mechanics, you just have to do more damage. And even then you don't have to do that much more damage, his HP on heroic is not much different than normal. Mainly because Total Annihilation/pulses from adds don't hit everyone, and one person just has to run outside, pop some cd and run back in.

Will is a one phase fight (at least on Heroic), but it's a good fight (imo) because you can use many different strategies to overcome the encounter. It's possible to CC rages and AoE them down, kill each rage set, use 3 tanks, use 2 tanks, many different soak rotations, etc.

Hmm.. you mean like making an achievement for it?

Straight Six - Deactivate six Empyreal Focuses within 10 seconds of each other, and then defeat Elegon in Mogu'shan Vaults on Normal or Heroic difficulty.

The achievement is actually what made me assume this was the wrong way to do it. Achievements are usually given for doing a fight the hard way. If this logic holds, dancing after getting hit by a pillage and clicking on the thing in the middle of gara'jal's spirit world would make those fights easier too!

It's pretty much the same thing with Empress, too - killing two Reavers with traps should give you the achievement quite easily and yet it sounds like something special.

I don't see why this boss needed a nerf O.o, easy on normal and heroic

I think people are missing a few things when talking about difficulty.

Until this last patch I would say that Heroic Spirit Kings(25) was harder than Heroic Will(25). Sure the first few guilds killed it how the fight was supposed to be killed but shortly after that came "Lets just cast ring of frost and CC all the rages the whole time." I think Elegon should have been the last boss and his heroic mode should have been more complex.

I do applaud blizzard for making changes to the fight rather than the usual "We took of 10% HP and he now deals 10% less dmg and the enrage timer is now 10% longer."
