Rinnhart, I perceive your comments as being that you think my arguments stem from some troll posting Blizzard forum fights and that you made the mistake of thinking my comments derived from them. As I have not participated in any Blizzard forum troll fights regarding this issue nor read any of those fights, I can assure you that they are not. My comments come from my own experiences in killing Huhuran and my guild's recent attempts on Viscidus. Huhuran is a fun fight, but I think that it is cheesy that she continues to shoot at paladins who are immune to her attacks. Since the burndown on her last 30% is very quick, this is a tremendous advantage that Alliance raids have and makes the fight much easier to the point where I don't think that she qualifies as a boss that is any more difficult to kill than the previous four bosses in AQ40. For Horde guilds, on the other hand, I think there is a step up in difficulty from Fankris to her. My analogy is that she's about as difficult as Vaelestraz, who even after months of him being on farm status can still wipe our raid on occation.
Regarding Viscidus, my comments stem from our unplanned but excellent evening of attempts on him on Monday evening. He shoots a poison dot on everyone, and I can see that having shaman be able to cleanse an entire party with one click is a tremendous advantage over having paladins and druids cleanse people one by one as they take a ton of damage. For both factions, the difficulty ramps up tremendously, but at the same time, I can see that the Horde has an advantage here.
Now that I have explained myself more fully, I now ask that you refrain from your personally directed comments. You may disagree with my conclusions from your own information or experiences. However, if your comments are not game related and instead continue to involve personal attacks, your posts will be removed.
