Old World Bosses

I have heard from some people that the old 40 man raid bosses scaled up to level 73 mobs due to them being ???. Is this true and if so does that mean they are still somewhat difficult?

I am curious because in my guild there have been quite a few post tbc players that would like to experience the pre tbc content.

Thanks,

Wrong. And right.

?? bosses are for combat mechanics listed as 3 levels above the players. They'll receive the same glancing blows and deal crushing blows etc etc. Resistance will the same across the board.

But, their abilities do not scale. They still hit as hard as when everyone was there at level 60. Onyxia tickles at about 200 damage per hit.

Their health doesn't scale either.

That's what makes them easy for 70s - compared to level 60s, you'll have double the health and deal a ton more damage.|||Quote:

Also in Ony's case, while her melee hit/crush/etc are lvl 73, many of her abilities seem to be lvl 63 spells in terms of resist - a lvl 70 tank with no FR gear on will take very very little fire damage (even in lvl 60 terms), and I seem to remember being practically immune to the lava.|||Quote:

Go and try Vael and see how you do without Fire Resistance there

First time we 10manned Onyxia @ 70, we still lost half the people cos they couldn't remember to step out of the deep breath.|||Quote:

...... but even that isn't deadly any more! It doesn't seem to be resistable, but at 70 it only takes ~1/2 - 2/3 of most players' health....|||*early* 70.

Before everyone was sitting at 10k health.
