Easiest Heroic Bosses in ToT?

[Sukoidha]

So my raiding group started late in this expac, didnt really start ToT til 2 months after its release, because we were still trying to gear up from the previous raids.

My questions is this, we just downed Heroic Jinrokh last night, and I was wondering which would be the next easiest Heroic to start working on?
As a group we have extreamly good dps, but mechanic fights, takes some of our raiders a long time to grasp, putting in more than 20-30 wipes in some cases.

Any help will be appreciated, if maybe someone could post their top 5 or so easiest bosses in ToT, it would be helpful, so I can start to do some of my own research on it as well.

Thank you,

I hate you. I wanted to help you. But I decided not to because of the way you formatted the post.

Edit: Ya ok now you edit it. For people wondering he had 3 screen heights worth of blank space between paragraphs.

[Sukoidha]

Yes I am sorry about the formatting, for some reason, my work computer does not like MMO champ, due to the small screen that I have. Re-did the formatting on MS Word, so it would be more viewing appropriate.

For progression you should go, Jin' rok then ji'kun. If you get thoes pretty easily the next week do thoes with H tortos( tortos is so easy all you do is make sure you have a shield buff from crystals basically). H Iron qon is also very easy.

My guild just hit 5/13 and I'd have to say from easiest to hardest

1. Jin'rokh
2. Ji-kun
3. Tortos
4. Iron Qon
5. Horridon
and assuming from here:
6. Twin Consorts
7. Primordius
8. Megeara
9. Durumu
10. Council of Elders
11. Dark Animus
12. Lei Shen

Although I have heard that both Primordius and Twins are easier than Horridon for 10man

im shocked how highly people put horridon - as i hated that fight on normal i find it very easy on hc since there is only pink dino to care about rest is same as on normal well ofc higher numberwise but still op said they have very good dps which means adds would go down very fast -_-

It's not so much that horridon was that HARD per say, tortos and iron qon are just much much easier in my personal experience

Ji-kun is definitly next, I'd even argue it's easier than jin'rokh. Next up will be horridon/council/tortos/IQ, which is easier depends a bit on your strengths and weaknesses. Horridon gets a lot easier with gear and when pulling high numbers, very similar to normal but you got a pink dino on top. Council is also a lot easier with gear, however more frontloaded in the first 3 minutes. Tortos isn't that much affected by gear, you'll still need to do everything correctly, you may get a wave of turtles less but that's probably not what's gonna stand in between you and a kill. IQ isn't too hard, but it's a long fight so need to focus for 10 minutes or so which means more things can go wrong.
If you're more the "numbers > mechanics" type of guild I'd say jin'rokh > ji'kun > horridon > IQ > council > tortos. Maybe even put council in front of IQ.

Edit: group comp is also not irrelevant. 2 warlocks means wind storms on IQ is completely trivialised. A proper brewmaster that knows how to kite bats can help a ton on tortos. Disc priest on horridon is also quite amazing.

Aye. Melee / range dps distribution is something else to consider. We run melee-heavy, so did Iron Qon b/f Horridon or Tortos.

[Hypasonic]

What we did: Jin-Rokh>Horridon>Ji-Kun>Tortos>Iron Qon>Council>Primordius>Megaera>Twins>Durumu>Animus>Lei Shen>Ra-den

What I would say is the best way to go now:

Jin-Rokh>Ji-Kun>Tortos>Horridon>Iron Qon>Council>Twins>Megaera>Primordius>Durumu>Animus>Lei Shen>Ra-den

If you have good gear, due to upgrades and such the following fights are fairly simple mechanically and as such can do them as you choose:

Iron Qon/Primordius/Twins

[Sliske]

Ji Kun

I personally refuse to even consider jin'rokh a boss, even on heroic. For me is a trash mob that drops epics.

Then i'd go, considering you have high DPS but mechanics take you some time...

Ji'Kun
Dark Animus (should your DPS be high enough to achieve this -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjR2cUhEZA8, if it's not this goes with durumu)
Consorts (if you don't have someone that can pain't, this goes with Durumu)
Tortos (if you don't have someone that can kick, this goes witn Durumu)
Iron Qon
Horridon
Primordius
Megaera
Council (might take some time getting healers used to damage)
---- Here is a BIG jump
Tortos (if not above)
Consorts (if not above)
Durumu
Animus (if not above)
Lei Shen

Jin'rokh
Ra-Den
Ji Kun
Twins
Tortos
...

[Shmeh]

Ji Kun
Horridon/Iron Qon
Tortos
Council/Primordius
Magaera
Consorts
Durumu
Animus


Having exceptional dps will change the order a fair bit.

[Definition]

The really easy heroics are Iron Qon, Jinrokh, Horridon and Ji-kun.

The majority of raid guilds do Jinrokh, then horridon, then tortos or ji-kun, then iron qon

[Gliff]

This was my guilds experience. 25 Man.

Hardest to easiest:

Lei Shen
Animus
Durumu
Magaera (Literally played like shit and made it so much harder then it was)
Council (Until we learned you can keep Kaz unempowered. 2 shot it after that)
Twins
Qon
Ra-den (Take the 30 attempt limit away and it was a joke)
Ji-Kun
Primordius
Horridon
Jin'rokh
Tortos

[Justusy]

We spent more wipes on heroic horridon than anything else besides Lei Shen =X. I see it trap a lot of guilds for a while and often feel it deserves a higher spot on the list.

Twins is actually extremely easy, and blizzard obviously intends it to be 2healable now (people often have 3rd healer go be the celestials person, they do very little healing as a result anyway). It mainly has a slightly high dps check for new groups that 3 heal, but you could 2 heal and have a dps do celestials - that should give enough damage for a newish group to beat it.

I personally find durumu extremely easy in 10man, but others don't... but it's one of those fights where 100% of the events are scripted (timing of life drains, etc). So if you have the timing down and a plan then it's not difficult.

25?

Jinrohk, Twin consorts, Primordius. Everything else is a notch below.

I know that alot of people think Tortos is easier than alot of other bosses and on 10m having 1-2 classes makes a very big difference.

So i would say

Jinrokh
Jikun
Ironqon
Horridon
Twin Consorts
Durumu
Tortos
council
primordius
megeara
Dark animus
Leishen

In 10m Durumu is a joke we just realized that and my god he is so fucking retarded easy its like normal and the icewalls dont even have that much hp and the parts share HP.
If you use the 4 statues twin consort is also very easy we had them to 20% after 3 trys so far.

megeara/council/prim are about the same tortos is very easy if you can kite and have a 70% slow for the turtles if not he gets alot harder.

Iron qon is very easy aswell, there is no dps requirement you can take 3 healers and not have any dps issues even with two tanks.
