Comment by lvbodybag This just... makes me feel old. Comment by Zarrow Legend says Usso is still taunting. Comment by turbosac Where's the fav button? Comment by Adradia lul the thing with the flight path :D Comment by JaceDraccus I didn't pay a lot of attention to which patch was which back then, but I think I remember what a difference the flight path change made... Comment by stym Just to be clear, that first heroic Lei Shen was the 25 -man kill, because Paragon killed him earlier in the 10-man format. Comment by Badan USSO TAUNTA USSO TAUNTA USSO TAUNTA USSO TAUNTA Comment by Vindal Oh man, Lei Shen was such a cool fight! The perfect mix between dangerous mechanics, length, and badass! I remember our first kill like it was yesterday. And the whole raid itself had great encounters, maybe only one or two bosses were not even bad but meh. \r

P.S: The Survey has a typo on question 18, it is written "dissatisfied" instead of "satisfied", hence making it confusing not to answer but to read answers (for you) :P Comment by Daillemand The image of the patch 1.10 makes me nostalgic of this time i didn't even play. Comment by Samweller Tier .5 upgrade was probably the most epic and enjoyable content that I have accomplished since I started playing way back in the beta. 45 minute baron and valthalak were challenging to the point that people in full MC gear had problems with it (which made doing it in the gear that it was meant to be done in even more gratifying). Since it was 5 and 10 man content, respectively, there was a much higher degree of personal responsibility... and lets face it, back in 40 man MC, you probably had a decent number of people in the raid who were terrible players, but had enough time to make every raid. The .5 quest-line forced you to be good at your class in a way that I hadn't seen in vanilla. Comment by lovelywaz "and we have World Firsts on 2 of the most iconic raid bosses"

Don't you mean ONE of the most iconic, since when did Lei Shen become iconic? Comment by Neryssa "and we have World Firsts on 2 of the most iconic raid bosses"\r

Lei Shen is widely regarded by the raiding community as one of the best final raid fights there is (since at the time Ra-den's existence wasn't known, and frankly, it didn't have the same impact as you could cheese the mechanics in a way to avoid doing half the fight).

Is there a source for this? I'll admit I don't really follow this stuff myself, but it seems to me like pretty typical fanfare for the final boss in a raid tier. Comment by crsh1976 Christ, it's already been a year since 7.2 came out ?

Oh and lol, I remember the tier 0.5 stuff - it was a solid idea, but hard and tedious to complete - while it was intended for non-raiders to get better armor, I rarely saw actual casuals with this stuff on, it was mostly raiders who could complete this set once they were already clad in tier 1\/2\/3.

It was widely considered easier to at least get full tier 1 via pugs\/friendly guilds, and even one or two pieces of tier 2, if you weren't raiding than to first get all pieces of tier 0 (eight pieces in every other dungeon + RNG galore) and then complete the quest chain to upgrade them to 0.5.

One of the best raid boss fight and being a *iconic* boss are two completely different things :).\r

I love Ulduar raid as a whole and think its one of the top 3 best raid instances out there. That doesn't make it iconic like ICC, Kara or even Onyxia's Lair. And I think the best boss fight in Ulduar, even not being final boss, was hands down Mimiron's ecounter. Just the normal fight was great too but you had to push that red button to have all the glorious fun !
