I like the challenges the bosses entail as well. Though it is worth keeping in mind we're using entry-level gear when taking down these bosses, so chances are by the time we hit tier 15-16 next year they'll be extremely trivial.
It's fun to watch people have no idea on how to deal with certain mechanics =P.

Ooo how true.
I learned when queing for Brewfeast to be fearful of 89 Tanks only about 25% didn't die during the fight. Today for my random I had a 89 Dps and Healer. Surprizingly enought it was the lvl 90 Mage only pulling 14k dps that almost caused us to wipe it.
But yeah I'm with the others I enjoy a good challage. And come this time next year I will mostly steamroll the bosses.

Actually the Hallow's End boss is still a joke. The only way to die on that fight is if the DPS ignores the pumpkin adds, but other than that they're pretty tame.
Direbrew wouldn't had been so bad if it wasn't for that damned barrel. His whirlwind/disarm could be easily avoided (it has a long cast time) and his damage wasn't so good. It was when he chained that stupid barrel on the tank (namely ME) that the crap hits the fan.

i found both bosses pretty trival already when i first did, though the brewfest one was a tad harder.
Headless Horseman, was just boring easy when i did him till i got my ring, cant bother doing it more often now.

I was one of the 25%. Blood DK cooldown abuse ftw =).

The Headless Horseman really isn't much of a challenge. Just a long fight.

Just stop posting about pve, or really anything that is important in this game. The pumpkin adds are nothing and if you've done anything in this game above level 50, you'd know that.
Same.. why post such wrong information. DPS should ignore the adds.
The only time I wiped was when 2 of the dps not only didn´t chase the head, but also kept meleeing the body who was whirlwinding. We aren´t at the point yet where the healer has enough mana, or the tank and 1 dps do enough dps to beat down the encounter. I´ve also done it a bunch of times where even screaming, there is 1 dps who does not kill the head.
It is very doubtful they will change the difficulty next year or add new rewards. They have rarely done that in the past. Usually at the end of an expansion, the holiday bosses are jokes.

It seems they buffed the crap out of those adds. They're walking around with about 600k (growing) / 1.1 M (grown) health each. They also seem to hit a bit harder too.

Every event boss is hard Until people get better gear: at start of expansion they are hard, at end they are a cakewalk.
And max-1 level people always had trouble with event bosses, just remember Anzu.

They also seem to spawn more frequently, the first two days they only spawned once, yesterday there were at least 3 waves. Got the ring in that run though, so I don't run it anymore ^^

They are timed.. if you got 3 waves it was because the dps was slower than the other times. I´ve done it where I think we were up to 5 waves and most of the time it is 1 or 2.
I tank this every day.. trust me, dps can ignore the adds. the tank just has to keep them all ´dodgeable´.. on my alt, I´ve seen a ton of tanks with the adds all behind him and the tank gets beat down fast.
