Twenty-five moo-cows down a level 70 mage in user-created raid
In an amusing spin on user created content, the Horde guild Eagles Pride on Malygos decided to make their own raid boss encounter. Sound impossible? Not if you take the time to figure out how to balance things out, as this lot of moo-cows did. Twenty-five level 1 Tauren went head to head against a level 70 frost mage. Using macros and set out scripts, the fight had four phases to it, and took about 10 minutes to complete. They describe the encounter as reminiscent of Shades of Aran. The concept is fairly amusing in and of itself, and shows a good deal of creativity. The only problems with the operation of the fight was that they couldn't find a good way to manage aggro, and spell resistance makes casting in this kind of fight next to impossible.Another video of the encounter (with slightly more annoying music) can be found after the jump, and shows it from the perspective of a raider, as well as some of their first few wipes. Color us amused.
Level 1 cow raid downs 70 mage
The Eagles Pride guild on Malygos US had an interesting idea for a guild event. They all rolled level 1 Tauren alts and staged a raid boss encounter where they had to take down a level 70 mage. Apparently, a lot of thought went into the encounter, with the mage's gear and abilities tuned to create a realistic opponent for the little cows. Additionally, the mage, Belise, limited himself to using his abilities on certain cues and made good use of emote macros to further mimic a scripted boss encounter.You can check out the thread on the official WoW forums which includes links to the two videos of the entire event. The thread also contains more information regarding how they balanced the event and speculation concerning how similar fights would work with other classes. It would also be a good place to express your interest if you'd like to participate in another similar event in the future.I've heard of some interesting guild events in the past, but personally, this one trumps them all. Have you ever taken part in something like this?
