I've seen several hate threads about raid bosses, including one that's going now for "Most Hated" (which incidentally inspired this thread). I'm curious, what boss is your FAVORITE of all time?
No polls here, there are too many candidates to even hope to cover in one poll. All I ask is that you say WHY you like them, not just a name. I'll start things off with an example of each.
For Mechanics, my favorite fights of all time are tied and both from Karazan. Keep in mind that a Warlock is talking, but Netherspite was a kick and a half with a decent guild and the Shade of Aran is the very definition of a skill showcase. In the former, as an Aff lock I routinely tanked the entire Blue Beam then popped trinkets and put the old-style, 60-second bomb of Curse of Doom just to see what it would do. Cracked a 10k crit in KARAZAN (cue "Over Nine THOUSAND!" jokes). For the Shade, the fight is hectic and chaotic... but a truly skilled group can take almost literally no damage if their execution is perfect (again, as an Aff lock I was very busy in that fight between Spell Locking Frost and CC for two of the Elementals).
For Memories, I have to go back to Gehenna of Molten Core. Fight wasn't much, but my guild group of warlocks plotted out a prank as he was approaching a kill. For those who don't remember (or weren't playing), he had a wicked Rain of Fire effect that you HAD to get out of. My guild was a bit melee-heavy, and we had 5 bored warlocks. Cue us dropping our own Rains on top of the raid as he hit 5% to watch them SCATTER
