With news that the
Broodmother herself
is returning for
WoW's fifth anniversary and
patch 3.2.2, it got me thinking about other old world bosses which could be revamped. Now don't get me wrong, I totally get that Onyxia is a one-time thing this expansion.
All fun and no lore, to paraphrase one of our commentators, Maxim. But the concept is ripe for a Breakfast Topic, after all Onyxia is a classic raid but she wasn't the only one. Granted, she remains the most popular and the most legendary, the raid itself was almost a reward for completing what has to be the game's most epic quest chain. And then there was the loot, the
lovely legendary (if not in colour) loot. Excuse me while I drool.
So lets say, hypothetically, you could bring back any lower level boss for a short time period aimed at level 80s. Which would you choose? Personally I'd love to see the
Dragons of Nightmare, simply because they were so epic. Indeed, they are still a challenge to down today, especially with
that annoying debuff. I also live in hope of seeing something of the
Emerald Dream soon but that's for another day. So, constant readers, if you could have one boss return revamped for a hardcore level 80 raid, which would it be?

C'thun, hands down. Finally a boss which would be too hardcore even for Ensidia... again.

C'thun, pre nerf.

Blackrock Depths. That place is so huge it feels like it should be a raid. And yet a party of 5 massacres the entire city.

I personally would love to see Nefarion brought back. I loved that battle so much, especially because my guild worked so hard to get to him after a patch made the mobs before his fight incredibly more difficult. I think it would make sense if the Cataclysm leak is true.

Gnomeregan should be a level 80 instance... From a boss perspective van freaking cleef

C'thun and Yogg Saron never died...I would like to see all 5 Old Gods unite into Squidzilla.

Yes I agree.
Me and my friends STILL do Kara for fun sometimes.

I wouldn't revamp anything. I'd make new content. New content, as in content besides a new boss and gear.
