We here at WoW Insider are on a Daily Quest to bring you interesting, informative and entertaining WoW-related links from around the blogosphere.
- Another blogger is calling it quits. This time it's Hoof 'n Healz giving their goodbyes. Farewell, o Resto Shaman!
- Soap Bubble has been making some progress in Ulduar and has a few tips for Healers that are preparing to face Kologarn.
- Mirror Shield is feeling a little bit of raid fatigue after a flurry of raiding, but the boss kills just don't stop.
- Herding Cats found Flame Leviathan prep to be a little like... well, herding cats, and they've pieced together a basic strategy for Razorscale.
- Matticus has a strategy of his own for Razorscale. Healers, you'll probably want to check this one out.
- Tachyon gave Ignis a pass and moved on to Kologarn. They managed to bring the giant down, and you can watch the whole thing in the video above.

You're NOW thinking that Blizz is making the game too easy?
Oh lawdy.

Well I'll answer.
Yes, I have downed them.
In fact, I've downed everyone of them except for General and Yogg, and knocked out some of the acheivments and hard modes.
I came looking for some video's or tips on the last two bosses, but it's all on the first few easy ones :(

Word Arcaria. I hate how people see the tops guilds downing junk and then hitting the forums QQing. Go kill Algalon by next weeks reset, then come back and say it's easy.
In fact I'll give you my 3 son to train up as your personal slave if you do.

We've killed about 10 bosses in Ulduar (10 man).
Even when we adjust and change our group, there is still a boss difficulty that doesn't make a lot of sense.
Some of the later bosses are much easier then the first 3.
Some of the trash is a lot harder then the bosses, like The mechanical sappers leading to Mimiron
If I were to rank easy to difficult so far it would be based on number of wipes:
Flame Leviathan
Auriaya
Assembly of Iron
Thorim
Hodir
Freya
XT-002
Razorscale
Kologarn
Ignis

I'm in a 25-man raiding guild but we did set aside one night for 10-man raids. We ran 3 groups through. One ended early (I believe they got up to Hodir) and the other two cleared up to Mimiron before calling it for the night.
From our groups experience on the 10-mans, the first bosses are certainly the easiest. We all initially skipped Ignis and Razorscale at first so we could see the later bosses but my group returned later and pushed them over without a problem.
I would have to say that the most difficult was Mimiron (we didn't get to Vezax and Yogg) and the next most difficult was Freya. We were all a little new to Thorim at the time as we hadn't downed him yet in 25-man so we took a few wipes and tweaked our strategy a bit before we got it.
Also, pre-nerf Ignis on 25-man was a cockblock. Really, it was frustrating. It took us about 3hrs to take him down. Post-nerf Ignis on 10-man was a joke.
