Quote:Few folks are interested in "optional" bosses. Why bother when you can go right for the big guy, right? As well, Ouro used to be VERY hard. So folks have passed him by. It's the same thing with Vicidious. There is no "need" to kill him, and he's certainly not a walk in the park boss...so why bother with the effort of spending weeks to learn a boss you don't 'need' to kill anyhow.
This is even more so true with the carrot of Naxx. "Why should we bother with this optional boss when there are bigger fish out there!?"
I assume thats what most of the guilds on our server at this point are doing: "We'll kill C'thun first, then get Ouro". Ouro at least has the incentive of the AQ set legs, plus a few other nice items (Burrower Bracers, Jom Grabbar trinket etc). There seems to be almost no reason to kill Viscidus these days beyond the challenge of the fight itself. The Silithid Femur was a very nice caster weapon, but it doesn't hold a candle to the Wraith Blade.
