Problem:
I propose that the Lich King should not be a 5 man raid boss for many reasons. The fact that other bosses are going to turn out even harder then the most powerful boss in-game is another major factor.
- Means the Lich King is going to be 5 man, other bosses such as Kel'Thuzzard and even Sartherion are going to be MUCH easier then we all thought. Nearly all players want a challenge, we want him to be even harder then Yogg-Saron or Algalon the Observer (Within reason, im not talking Hardmode). We want a challenge, you have been keeping us waiting for the suposedly hardest boss and your making him easy.
- You made Trial of the Champion/Crusader into many different parts, 5 man normal / heroic, 10 man normal / heroic and 25 man normal / heroic. Although they are different difficulties the 5 man versions are different to the raid ones.
- Lore wise the Lich King can simply kill anything and everything, but suddenly after many years of preparing he dies to 5 people? and from what ive seen reasonably easy. Now if it was a raid with 10/25 people fighting him for 5-15 minutes, now thats a glorious battle.
Proposal:
Instead of making it all one instance, make a section of it 5 man with some of the bosses, with a heroic setting as well, but for the other section make it a raid with the remaining bosses and the Lich King, but make it more challenging on normal mode, Trial of the Crusader isn't exactly hard, it's pratically free stuff (Excluding heroic modes).
Result:
The more serious raiders will be able to have a challenge, enjoy a glorious battle and fight something thats ment to be hard. Casual raiders will still be able to enjoy the battle on the normal modes, still with a challenge but more rewarding then in a 5 man party. Social raiders will also be able to have a chance to fight him after a few weeks of him being released, people will know tatics well and the casual or serious raiders can help them though and enjoy the fights.
