Adds suck. Heroically the 2 bosses that give us fits are Kargath Bladefist and Nexus-Prince Shaffar. Adds suck.

Yes. She is evil. I've only ever run Heroic SV one time and we managed to down her on the first attempt, but I'm not about to push my luck on that one. We had a Warlock with us so that made managing her adds a little nicer. They still die pretty quickly though. The problem is her and her Lightning-o-doom. Haha… Yes. She is evil.

I took a crack group that farms heroic shattered halls for 5 badges. We wiped 6 or 7 times learning her, and still get killed due to unlucky cloud timing. It's just such an extreme reflexes check where latency can dominate. I have only one blue left...my group has similar gear. If she cyclones the healer and drops a cloud there, it's a wipe.

I think its probably Archimonde. That fight just takes so many pulls to get it right. The fact that there is no trash is a blessing and a curse. Since you have to do like 75 pulls before everything comes together it is nice that you don't have trash in the way to make it longer. But at the same time spending and entire raid night doing the exact same boss over and over and over makes you want to pull your hair out. Once your raid is comfortable with the fight you can handle a few deaths and still kill the boss, but at the beginning any death is a wipe. And there is a TON of raid-wide damage trying to kill people. Hardest fight currently in the game is a good question. I think its probably Archimonde.

I do remember that i would often be 1 shotted (or nearly) if my trap broke early and the tank didn't pick it up. (i had 1 or 2 Kara Epics and 2 crafted epics i suppose) But then again i adapted my trapping to that aswell, a broken trap gets kited till the CD is up again so i don't get hit often. Besides that healers have adapted/learned/improved gear aswell.
