Naxxramas Previews

[Lissa]

Except if you can't beat the end bosses of AQ40 or get equipped in that gear, you'll have a tough time making much progress in Naxxramas. The spider boss is doable with a little coordination but after experiencing a couple of the other bosses in Naxxramas, oh man, it's clear that the difficulty has definitely been raised a notch.

I would say that if a raid wants to be able to do anything in Naxxramas, it should try to at least get to the point where it can kill the Twin Emps consistently. The first bosses require about that much coordination. The later bosses need a lot more than that, it seems.

Another thing to consider though, a lot of these fights are probably going through the tuning stage right now. You know as well as I from seeing Beta that Blizzard typically ratchets up the difficulty initially, then goes to the opposite end on ease, then swings back and forth until the pendulum comes to a rest point difficulty that they like.

My bet is that the early boss fights in Naxx will probably end up somewhere on the order of Nef/Huhu in difficulty with slide heading up to something more difficult than C'Thun and Ouro for Kel'Thezad himself, but that will be many bosses inbetween that will slowly ramp up the difficulty.
