    Example of intense raid boss attempt

    So my friend plays some, unknown to me, mmo. Telling me, it is complicated because you have to work together with 5 people. Judging from what he is saying, there really is only the most basic of mechanics, and it sounds on par with LFR on difficulty. I tried explaining to him that the game I play (wow) is far more complicated and there are things called raids that require a lot more people and a lot more coordination. That every group doing difficult content is all together using voice chat and guides. He seemed interested, but wanted me to provide an example.

    That is my question, does anyone have a good example of some YouTube video of raid boss encounter? Something intense and with lots of mechanics. Something that will validate my point.

    This is quite confusing - you are arguing that wow has these advanced raids and mechanics, but cant provide an example by yourself?

    I provided plenty of text, but he asked me specifically for a video as an example of my words.

    Look for a Guide for Anduin Mythic Prenerf or Jailer Mythic Prenerf if you want current examples or e.g. Nzoth Mythic from last expansion

    Or even freaking xymox mythic, that one already is super complex mechanically

    I'd go with mythic Kil'jaeden.

    One of the hardest, most rewarding fights in recent memory.

    This is a pointless endeavor. No video of a mythic wow raid is going to be remotely comprehensible to anyone who doesn't know the mechanics of the game.

    Weird. My friend plays some unknown mmo that I don’t want to name but I want to show I am superior to his game and rather than use google or YouTube I came to Mos Eisley to ask for raid videos.

    This is true. If your friend is really interested, then maybe a boss guide will be better, so that they may get a better look of the encounter and its mechanics instead of the chaos of some random gameplay video.

    That was kind of my point right at the start, it honestly feels like someone has started an argument with their friend, but cant back their claims up. Sounds to me like someone is talking about how insanely hard mythic raids are.............without ever actually doing a mythic raid.

    Kil'jaeden, Durumu, Yoggy?

    Just some of the ones I recall that severely needed you to rely on your team.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
