What was the best boss in Mists of Pandaria?

[Deleted]

Since there's this other post talking about the worst, I just wanted to throw some positivity here and ask you hat your favorite MoP boss was?

I really liked HC Jin'rokh. It's a smooth entrance to HC ToT, the fight not being too difficult, and it just feels right with the phase where you have to run through the lightning bolts. +the character model is amazing imo

I'm not sure on the best, but I liked a number of bosses this expansion. Lei Shen, Iron Qon, Grand Empress, Feng, Siegecrafter, Thok, Tsulong, Sha of Fear...

Maybe Lei Shen, although it heavily depends on what role I'm doing. I really like healing Thok for example.

Hm... this is a tough one. There isn't an easy, single "stand out" boss for me- I enjoyed many of them, but none far and above the others.

I really enjoyed Heroic Ji-Kun, because I was our main nest team. I like normal and Heroic Spoils, too. Lei Shen and Paragons of the Klaxxi are also enjoyable.

[Feali]

I like Ji'kun alot. Also Lei Shen. But my absolute favorite boss this expansion is and this might sound stupid Spoils HC. Either as a Monk Tank or Combat Rogue. Constant action, fast paced. Love it

I'm guessing you never did Sha of Fear on Heroic.. ugh..

I agree. I liked him aswell. If i had to find my own though there are a number of interesting bosses.

Stone guards had an interesting mechanic, sadly it was only interesting for tanks. Will of the emperor is another interesting tank fight (fun for melee dps who got to stay on them aswell).

I hated most of HoF.

Terrace was mediocre and Lei Shi was imo the worst fight of the expansion.

ToT had a lot of cool fights, and a few ones with new interesting mechanics. Ji-Kun Hc was cool. Durumu had some nice mechanics aswell. Lei Shen was one of my favorite fights this expansion aswell as it involved everyone doing something and having responsebility.

SoO. It had some good fights aswell, to me it wasnt on par with ToT though. Immerseus. I mean come on. I think everyone got bored of that fight after the 2nd time they killed it, even on hc.

Dark shaman felt hectic the first times and it punnished people with bad positioning. Thats a plus for me. malkorok was another good test to see if people where slacking.

Spoils was interesting but a tad to easy. Thok was very interesting to me. had some great mechanics, not enough so that it felt overwhelming, but enough to make you focus on different things througout the fight.

Siegecrafter. Wow. I have mixed feelings about this one. I remember the first time i soloed the belts on my monk. That was great. Nowadays when joining flex groups as a healer or tank though. It pisses me off having 3 melee dps and 4 ranged dps in the group where everyone single one of them says "nope sry, i cant do belts".

Paragons. Its a shit fight. Sry. I hate council fights. Garrosh. To me it was no where near as epic as Lei Shen. The problem with this fight is that Garrosh himself isnt the hard part, its all the adds and the mc's that make it hard. Not a very epic expansion finale


Edit:

Hmm at the start i didnt mean for this post to be so long, i realise the question was favorite boss, not a recap of all of them

[Thelxi]

I liked Durumu the most.

[bmjclark]

Siegecrafter is one of my favorites.

[Larinnian]

Elegon. I think it's mostly down to the visual aspect, but I just love it.

[Novx]

I am torn between Heroic Garrosh and Heroic Grand Empress. Hated every other boss in HoF but Grand Emp was alright.

[Sixnalia]

Sha of Fear as DPS(Enjoyed the idea and battling the mini boss)
Malkorok as a Healer(Loved the bubble system and seeing those HPS numbers fly) Tsulong is a close second.
Siegecrafter Blackfuse as a Tank(Taking down Shredders by using the Saw Blades and Laser? Awesome.)

[Deleted]

T14 wins ... no one i guess... didn't especially like any of the bosses.. didn't hate many either. But sha of Fear Heroic, p2 had the most Awesome stage ever... altough its literally just Nothing, i just found it Srsly Wonderful.
T15 wins Lei Shen.. such a nice fight. Made me Remember fireland hc ragnaros which is my favourite fight ever
T16 wins Blackfuse simply because i am killing the weapons every round in my 10 man the whole rest of the fight doesn't even matter for me so it was just amusing to listen and watch the rest of the raid ^^

Overall, HC Lei shen was the best fight from MoP if you ask me^^

You should be taking down those shredders with your own manly might!

I was main tanking all expansion, so from that PoV:

I liked Stoneguards and Feng (reversal mechanics was pretty cool) and Will of the Emp from MSV.
I hated all HoF bosses, especially Garalon kiting that shit was so boring
ToES has pretty shitty fights too, I guess Sha was fun just cause you go all big and shiny when tanking him
ToT had alot of nice bosses, I enjoyed nearly all of them as a tank, except probably Dark Animus... yaaawn!
Ive ran SoO like 100 times plus between flex and heroic so alot of enjoyment has died for me here but I liked Iron Jug, Malkorok (somewhat) and every boss after Thok, with Siegecrafter standing out cause doing those deeps with 6 stacks of electro shock was fun . I also really enjoy paragons cause that scorpian buff, dat buff!

[Grumpy Old Man]

Hard to pick just one. Ji-kun was the one I found the most fun, playing as a healer. I liked the challenge of doing Elegon, Durumu, Lei Shen, Thok, Siegecrafter. I liked the lore behind most of ToT bosses (the trolls and the mogu ones).

[Sixnalia]

It isn't manly to grab those saw blades and grind a Shredder's face against it? D:

[Kolvarg]

If I had to pick just one, I'd probably say Lei Shen.

But indeed, I absolutely loved most bosses this expansion.

ToT is definitely the best raid of the expansion, with many interesting fights like Lei Shen, Durumu, Dark Animus, Consorts, Ji-kun, Jin'rokh...

SoO is the 2nd best overall for me. Loved Malkorok and Siegecrafter. Shamans and Thok are very good too. Spoils and Sha are 2 of the most enjoyable for me to repeat as a tank.

The other 3 raids were all good to me too, and most bosses were interesting, HoF being the most interesting and ToES on pair with MSV imo.

My favourie its probably Imperial Vizier Zor'lok(even after the nerf) or Spirit Kings; Lei Shen is good as well, Dark Animus had a very interesting mechanic, and since SoO its been out for ages, I can't really say I like any boss from there right now;

[hasslehoof]

I enjoyed Siegecrafter, Elegon, Spirit Kings & Lei Shen the most, in no specific order.

Nawh you Captain America shield him straight in the face whilst ridin' spinners

[Denkou]

Maybe not the "best" boss (I'll think of one later), but contrary to popular opinion, I really liked Malkorok. One of my pet peeves with many of the fights in MoP is that there were way too many adds (sometimes more adds =/= harder or better design). Malkorok was a very straightforward fight that weeded players incapable of following extremely simple mechanics, and I always have a blast every time I fight him.

[wariofan1]

Lei Shen, no contest. The mechanics, the lore and the scenery all clashed so well together, it was just a very fun and satisfying fight.
