Is spine of deathwing heroic the hardest raid boss ever conceived?

Bosses that were mathematically impossible don't count.

[Volitar]

I don't know if I would call it 'hard' it just required some pretty specific class and legendary stacking in an era of endgame raiding where guilds were not ready to pull in an endless amount of of geared x or y class like they are today.


Mechanics were always easy it was just some really tight tuning.

[Chonar]

No, but I will give you that tanking the bloods was not the most fun tanking experience I've had.

they most certainly do count when they were available in the game to be defeated.

[TheRevenantHero]

they most certainly do count when they were available in the game to be defeated.

But they're not available to be defeated if they are quite literally impossible to defeat.

not with that attitude for sure.

[TheRevenantHero]

not with that attitude for sure.

I dunno. I just don't feel like it should count if it wasn't possible to kill the boss. At least other hard bosses were killable.

if it wasnt in game and able to be engaged, sure. but the bosses were in game and you could fight them.

That's irrelevant. Just because you could engage them doesn't mean they should count considering they were literally unbeatable.

So can we count mythic KJ prior to the first set of undocumented fixes where after almost 100 pulls Method wasn’t even making through the first intermission because tuning was stupid?

not irrelevant at all. they were in game and able to be fought. the clock starts ticking as soon as they are available.

Sorry, but M'uru was killed 6 days after being available, the second sunwell gate opened april 29th, M'uru was killed may 4th by SK Gaming. Granted, 6 days is in the upper region, but definetly not hardest.
C'thun was bugged and literally impossible, the bugfixes came with nerfs, so we will never know how hard a pre nerf-c'thun would have been for that time.
