I feel like as I player I shouldn't be able to see behind the curtain and it was quite a let-down to see how many mechanics/visuals were copy pasted
from bosses that were introduced in the very same expansion. (and slightly altered)
Am I the only one who noticed & is bothered by it?
It's not the re-usage of mechanics that bothers me, what bothers me is how often it happened within the same expansion.
I know that mechanics are somewhat limited, but the way you deliver it can be done in a way where it still feels fresh.
That was not the case for me on many bosses.
I will show you some examples.
Nythendra's "Heart of the Swarm" & Harjatan's "Draw In"
Hide behind a pillar mechanics (scorpyron, goroth, tichondrius)
Soak mechanics (basically just switched color to green, go soak some more... kj, garothi worldbreaker, kin'garoth...)
Visuals of KJ Obelisk & Reverberating Strike's "charge" (kil'jaeden, kin'garoth)
basically just recolored and decreased in size
...and all the "don't run into a player mechanics"...
I'll just stop here.

What happened to great fights like thogar, hans & franz etc?
where mechanics were re-used BUT they were delivered in an awesome way that makes it feel fresh
