One Boss Leaves: Sorrowgrave impales The Prophet
Two Bosses Enter ... but only One Boss Leaves, in WoW Insider's series of fantasy death matches. This season's bosses come from the five-man instances of Wrath of the Lich King.Utgarde Pinnacle's Svala Sorrowgrave impaled The Prophet Tharon'ja of Drak'Tharon Keep in this week's Two Bosses Enter, One Boss Leaves fantasy deathmatch. Reader Talusazaroth sets the scene: "... The dueling arena is probably going to be the coolest out there. If we're giving the Vrykul her altar, we have to give the Prophet some nice ruined archways and overgrown jungle. So on one side, we have the Lich King's view portal, covered in ivy, with a tree or two and some nice, exotic plants, slowly giving way to her altar of sacrifices. "As her alter, slightly overgrown, turns to hard stone made by the blood of many lesser Trolls, we would have stone pictographs detailing the Troll empire. The jungle on his would be half alive, half dead. So we would have blighted tropical plans spiraling up the broken archways. Oh, and birds of paradise -- got to have those flying around, getting turned into sacrifices and skeletons."Enter the combatants, Svala Sorrowgrave and The Phophet Tharon'ja.
Two Bosses Enter: Svala Sorrowgrave vs. The Prophet Tharon'ja
Two Bosses Enter ... but only One Boss Leaves, in WoW Insider's series of fantasy death matches. This season's bosses come from the five-man instances of Wrath of the Lich King.Ever want to throw two bosses into the ring simply because they've both annoyed you? This week's Two Bosses Enter deathmatch strikes me a little that way: Svala Sorrowgrave of Utgarde Pinnacle vs. The Prophet Tharon'ja of Drak'tharon Keep. As much as I constantly urge readers to keep real-game play experiences out of the debate, I have to confess to mentally categorizing both these bosses under the "ZOMG, not this fight again..." section in the Annoying Speed Bump category.Yet here they are in the ring -- so "to battle!" The usual rules apply. Assume that these foes share similar levels, health pools and damage output. We'll have to assume Sorrowgrave has somehow managed to drag an altar into our little Thunderdome, and we'll allow her to summon her three Ritual Summoners to pin her opponent on the altar. For the Prophet's part, since there are no players for him to turn into skeletons (and since he would be unable to turn Sorrowgrave's assistants into skeletons if he were pinned on the altar), we'll allow him to turn Sorrowgrave herself into a skeleton (with appropriately scaled abilities).Focus your debate on the three S's: Style, Story and Scale. Don't get caught up in game mechanics and what actual players might do in each encounter. Consider the flavor each villainous gladiator brings to bear, then cast your vote for who you think would come out on top.
