Quote:They should do a pan-race version of that. Everyone should be able to go take a crack at Arthas from Day 1. As soon as you engage him, half the raid (regardless of race) gets 'plagued' (Undispellable, continues until death) and attacks the remaining half of the raid (preferably targeting healers first). If anyone dies, he heals to 100% and plagues more people. At 90%, Arthas says, "This bores me," and plagues anyone left unplagued. Then he teleports your raid of zombies to the outskirts of a nearby city where you attack and the guards slaughter you.
How does he ever get beaten? Blizzard buries a "talisman of no-plague" at the end of the ultimate raid instance, dropping some limited number (say 3) per week. The challenge becomes: How many people do you need to kill Arthas? Maybe it's possible with 15 really skilled players but you can take up to 40 into the instance. If you want to zerg him down with 40 people, have at it. But if you want a server first, you'll probably need to do it with 15 or 20.
So, the super-epic-story-defining-much-anticipated-last-boss is killable with a zerg?
That would be kinda ... bad. :unsure:
