New boss idea.

[ndnt0xic]

I was recently thinking of a cool new boss. This is not an idea I'd like to see go live. Just a fun thought that I'd like to share with you guys. This is how I played it out. We engage the boss as his whatever form (robot,slime,etc.) and from there he has a chance of copying one of the 10/25 raiders in the fight. The fun factor of this boss would be YOU being the boss. You don't get MCd. Think of that slime pokemon that copies the other one.

Let's talk mechanics. First I would imagine this boss to start off as his regular form. Throughout the fight he would have 5 phases. First phase would be his form. I would guess just regular tank and spank. Second phase would hit after 30 seconds into the fight. He randomly chooses a player and transforms into that player and it's class. So for example, he would have 10 choices of forms with limited spells for each form. Let's see your ideas to create this new fun boss. I'll start with the mage form. If you'd like to add mechanics to already said classes go right ahead.

Let's say he chooses a mage to copy. The boss would now gain these abilities,

Living bomb: Boss places a living bomb on one player(three for 25 man). That player must run away from the group or he'll wipe the raid if the bomb goes off. Dispelling would also cause the bomb to go off. Living bomb leaves a DoT on the player until it's removed.

Fireball/Frost bolt: Cannot be interrupted. Boss casts at random members.

Polymorph: Sheeps 3 targets for 10 seconds. Can be dispelled

Summon Blizzard: Much like the Shade of Aaron blizzard. Move away from it.

Again, this is not a "BLIZZ PLX LOOK AT MY THREAD AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!!". It's just a let's see where this goes thread lol.

I like this idea, quite a bit. I could see that being a fun and completely random boss to fight.

IThink of that slime pokemon that copies the other one.

I think you mean Ditto.

I think its a cool idea just that what happens if it copies a healer. Does it just heal itself to full health then you have to start over again? But other than that its seems cool.

Oh and @ Resentful, I like your idea too

[ndnt0xic]

I like this thread, mechanic's within bosses are my interest! I wrote this boss encounter about a year ago and it's been rotting on my documents for awhile so I'll share away

I actually meant share your ideas to the boss mentioned in the first post.
Interesting read regardless. Loved it!

I like your boss :P

[Angarin]

Your idea is definitely unique but it would be extremely difficult to create let alone clear every week on heroic. It would almost have no strategy to it. Granted that can be a good or bad thing

It just seems difficult to complete and create. unique idea but...to much

Okay, let's say he chooses a shaman for example. He would get some of the shaman's abilities.
Summon elementals: OT would have to pick them up and DPS kill them before they eat the raids' face
Healing Wave: Heals boss for X amount. MUST BE INTERRUPTED.
Totem mechanics etc.

[Angarin]

Suggestion as well, have it copy specs. Cause if I'm fighting a prot pally with holy pally talents...yeah...

Right, which is why it's not something I'd expect to appear on Live. It's just for fun to see how creative people can be with mechanics regarding the boss mentioned above.

I wrote that in class, and it took about 30 mins of thinking ahaha

I wouldn't like that. The fun factor of the fight is to see your character being x20 bigger being the boss. That'd be epic.

It sounds a lot like Hex Lord Malacrass in ZA (original - havent played new one yet).

Yup, mixed with the last boss in Old Kingdom. Except you fight one instead of 5.

[Angarin]

Another suggestion.

Normal mode picks 1 person in 10m, 25m picks 3 members. This could be random of any class/spec/role

Heroic mode picks 2 people in 10m, and in 25m picks 5 members. This again could be any class/spec/role

Just thought it might be a neat idea to add

I was thinking he would transform atleast 3 times in the fight to add more variety.

[MrKnubbles]

So it's like Nef?

[xxAkirhaxx]

I like the idea, but you lost me on the Pokemon reference. I never watched Pokemon. I hated that show.

[psdew1813]

i would like to see some more dynamic fights but the problem is is that its a fine line between making a fight dynamic and making it gimmicky. i think if we want to see more dynamic fights wed have to change the games mechanics to a degree or start from scratch. like making it so a fight requires you to do some platforming to avoid an attack instead of just LOSing/moving from it. idk but a boss fight comparable to god of war but with 10-25 other people would be balls to the walls awesome. thats just me though.

[Sansnom]

Computer controlled players. Sounds a lot like the Faction Champions back in ToC.
