MAKING THE BEST RAIDS OF ALL TIME!!

[@needsanameedit4982]

Kind of want Fronk to add in his personal list to these drafts, an editor's choice of sorts.

[@bradleyps]

Do this.

[@meecrob500]

He loves doing that kinda stuff

[@joshualuttrell7269]

Max telling everyone not to yap too much after every pick then yapping too much after everybody's pick

[@HootsDefiasBrotherhood]

the man literally commented on everyone's pick, but i get it, he is passionate about it!

[@JCurry1123]

Duh, if they yap he wont have time to

[@leowulfjenkins]

Dratnos picking a full ST raid just to oppress moonkins even more is peak

[@darkmatterpancake]

Dratnos, truly a man of the people

[@jacobtafoya2462]

THD with the 1700 pull count raid. If your raid team survives that entire raid they will get sent to the warfront because they can survive ANYTHING.

[@robertwacholz5646]

Need a visual counter for every "Thats right" from Daddy Dratty. Fronk loves doing stuff like that

[@vicakakick]

Thats right

[@fruntastic4257]

This makes me realize how cool it would be for a fated season (if they continue to do it) if instead of fated raids we could get a boss rush type of raid using previous bosses. I would be happy with any of these lists but i think tunning would be hard because each raid tunning was so tied to the borrowed power we had at that time.

[@iantha999]

I love jack picking healer bosses in this. I would hard agree that Maut and Hivemind were awesome fights to heal.

[@WarthUnder-om8ox]

I wonder what the correlation of it being healer fights and also having the lowest pullcount is. Maybe Jak liked the bosses because healers were more impactful, and he as a good player could reduce the number of pulls? Instead of having DPS wiping him? Or maybe since it was healer-focused fights, they were by default easier, since there are only 4 healers, so fewer people that can mess up?

[@brenden1860]

Hivemind was a blast for AOE dps too one of my favorites

[@iantha999]

@@WarthUnder-om8ox As a healer, I can tell you. Predictable damage, where you can plan cooldowns around and absolutely pop off during them? Cool. (Maut/Sludgefist/abyssal commander) Rot damage fights where you have constant impact on the survivability of the raid, and are constantly doing something? Awesome (Hivemind/Orgozoa/Abyssal commander) I don't think it has anything to do with easier fights. Even Sylvannas was a good fight to heal. And I hard agree with Max, that people give sylvannas too much shit (mainly because heroic sylvannas was a dogshit fight) What suprised me, was that Jack picked Mekkatorque as a fight though, and maybe my experience on that fight was a bit biased since my guild wasn't that good, but fights where your players have to Line of sight with a mechanic that can kill them (bombs) Is not enjoyable for me.

[@WarthUnder-om8ox]

@@iantha999 Right, I agree with you that they are cool fights, the question is how does that relate to their low pull count?

[@ConiugatioPeriphrast]

@@WarthUnder-om8ox I guess you're right about less people being able to mess up. Theres only so many mechanics you can put in a single fight, and if one or more are aimed at healers, they're not oneshots (unless they're dispels, but those dont make healing fun, because dispelling is by definition not healing)

[@Thorn796]

THD had all the hardcore players, Dratnos had the casual players (except for the end of the raid), Jak had the healers, Growl had Smolderon and Rashok, Meeix had nothing and Max had Sludgefist. Opulence, Botanist, Council of blood and Fyrakk are meh imo. I just feel like Max went for a well rounded raid which in the end attracts nobody. I stand by the poll with Dratnos ahead

[@kasper1241]

“I think your name is just too close to Max” 😂😂😂

[@joshmaxwell9093]

Max was so upset that he didn't win, saying his was objectively the best and his chat just didn't want to vote for him. But he just didn't have the best list and it wasn't close lmao

[@icresp4263]

Yeah he had a couple good ones but not everyone loved those bosses. I wasn't huge on sludgefist, hated council of blood, amalgamation chamber, and tel'arn.

[@prophetofchud3387]

I love this type of content that he does but Max really can't wrap his head around other people having a different opinion than him lol

[@sneaksies8931]

@@icresp4263ydkb

[@Catboysanji]

Max’s list is actually so griefed by council of blood, fyrakk and opulence it’s wild. Growls list is actually goated

[@SomeRandomGuy2112]

Growl is forever the man of the people

[@lukasnorie]

agree on everything except opulence, opulence was alright, but definitely better choices out there. I do not for the life of me understand the fyrak pick even with the RWF PoV except for the fact that it was super close and exciting, the fight is just not a s-tier boss

[@iantha999]

I think it's kind of ironic how people say "at the start of shadowlands we knew there'd be the Anima power boss and we feared for it" and in the same sentence praise Opulence which is in essence a sort of precursor to an anima power boss. That being said, I loved opulence. And i think that pick is actually very very cultured. Council of blood is a grief I agree.

[@erike9074]

Hard agree. Fyrakk has one of the best final phases of all time, but the private auras in intermission and P2 make the fight automatically F tier for a lot of players.

[@jamie96311]

Council of blood is great

[@kasper1241]

Max is definitely overestimating his own list. Amalgamation, Botanist, Council, Avatar and Fyrakk are far from my favourite fights. I think he base his opinion on Mythic and a lot of people only did these bosses in heroic pugs.

[@bongcrusha420]

this is honestly the kind of cook blizz should do for season 4s or w.e the end of expac season is instead of raid rotations. make some torghast esque tower with top tier bosses to work through. can make it some community event for the bosses to be chosen somehow

[@akunomatata7897]

Thd, max, and meeix straight throwing here

[@hrolnir]

On a long enough timeline, all WoW content becomes spreadsheets

[@hrolnir]

Also Max is a classic Fantasy Draft yapper. 100% in everybody else's head

[@ryananderson1887]

Dratnos' Star Augur Pick literally brought back one of my best and most head slamming Mythic raid boss memories. Still my favorite mythic raid of MY experience.

[@Tyberes]

Warning the healers that I was about to send an auto crit Glacial Spike on Maut was the most fun I ever had raiding.

[@matthewhudson1128]

I think alot of people hate Fyrakk seed mechanics and Council of Blood while I enjoyed it, I don't think its a peoples pick. Surprised there was no mention of Jaina, loved that fight personally.

[@Kelsousername]

I love these videos. I drive for work so listen to it in the background like a normal podcast. Keep them coming ! Also, Growl is king

[@Rellfy]

Look at how fast the Nathria bosses go. GOAT raid!

[@mattn-mn]

Dratnos: "That's Right" TM

[@darkness9538]

Watching this live amazing max just rage quit his stream after he lost the vote it was the greatest thing ever

[@cod-the-creator]

Ursoc lives rent free in my nightmares. I played spriest. On farm Ursoc died so fast you had to s2m at like 50% which didn't leave much room for error (in a spec that already had the tightest rotation in the history of the game). This shouldn't be an issue, but whenever Ursoc would charge we'd have a mage blinking to africa or someone running the wrong direction or some shit. Ursoc would charge, everyone loses a little uptime, I die. Everyone laughs. Fuck Ursoc.

[@stynbeats]

I wachted the fantasy class making video before this one and i'm just now learning that Growl is YumyTV, which makes his whole Magician class so much more funny

[@bayazwow]

Not even gonna watch but I already know Growl will have the best raid because he just picks bosses that are fun to play

[@mebrandonb]

I don't know why people were so against Jak's list, there were a lot of really fun fights on there. Hivemind to this day remains one of my favorite raid bosses ever, that shit was cool.

[@Xiuhtec]

I raided during this entire time period and don't remember 80% of the bosses, it's kinda wild how quickly they disappear from my brain when a new tier launches.

[@Keldonnation]

Max had a banger list a lot of the comments are tripping. My guild still quotes council of blood lol. But Dratnos definitely deserved that win

[@ShardsOfStone]

Max might be a great raider but he is kinda bad at drafting imo lol.

[@FeralKobold]

With the stipulation that if they tuned it higher it would have been S tier, I'm a little sad not to see volcoross. That fight had the opportunity to be such an amazing DPS check but they just gave it way too little HP and it ended up getting steamrolled and was more like a mid raid break than a hard check like it should have been

[@avinion]

Should have voted in 3 rounds, tank, healer and dps perspective.

[@TheMashuto]

This was banger content. I do hope max doesn’t take the bit too personal. Even if it is hilarious to watch.

[@Vikingeek]

Not sure if it'd make a whole lot of difference, but could've been a fun addition to include picking which raid's trash to use in their draft raid - I'm sure everyone has thoughts on which raid has good/bad trash too ;op

[@horiapopa3172]

max is actually such a sore loser lmao.

[@Dyinghistorymajor]

shoutout to my boy Jak for repping us healers

[@Fleato]

I straigh tup attribute Orgazoa as the fight that made me into the CE healer I am now. that fight forced me to change my UI switch to mouse overs, learn to read logs for healing, use the class discord and then on top of that I got world class coaching from a former Liquid WF h pal. I went from a mid healer to hard carrying healing the rest of the Xpac on that fight.

[@Fleato]

sire d is def one of the coolest end bosses ever. not many character sin the game can just show up and be loved like Sire. Sire is just so cool. how many other previously unnamed characters stick in the memory like that. he's literally more memorable than the main baddy of SL lol. I hope some day Sire comes back as a big bad but we'll see.

[@frank1469]

You should also give names to your raids, and vote for each others raid in top 3's

[@okayleethogs1068]

I get why, but it’s a shame WoD isn’t included. They still haven’t made an end boss better than Mythic Blackhand. Gul’dan, Sire, and Argus are close but not quite.

[@Shadowfex]

Ya, I just always get sad when I see these cuz I know it's just gonna be Legion-DF. Would really like to see a group do this for all expansions.

[@averyward7520]

Yoooooooo THD being here made my day. Let's goooo!

[@justcuz8687]

Love this!! keep up with these videos! Great series

[@keetaroth]

i like these, blizzard should make a weekly boss rush mode with bosses on a random rotation every week

[@duetobe]

this needs to be on twitter without names

[@aaronhewitt6312]

They still going to do top 10 best raid bosses? They did 10 worst dungeons and raid bosses but only 10 best dungeons. There will be a lot of overlap but it’s a different type of list.

[@Csucsugamushi]

Mine would be: Shriek Amalgamation Soulrender Lady Ashvane Rashok Star Augur Sludgefist Rygelon Argus

[@plutocat1229]

Is this sheet (the template) available somewhere?

[@fe1ian637]

they should have some of that casual podcast guys here too

[@tyrgannusgaming6657]

Best raid of all time would in some way incorporate the karazhan soundtrack. That is all.

[@Fleato]

17:05 so fucking true, I played H pally in BFA so for me my absolute top tier most loved fights... were orgazoa, that boss literally made me into the healer I am now, that fight made me into a CE raider lol........and Nzoth. a lot of people hate Nzoth because eww add fight, but for me, that fight was a fucking BANGER. so fun constant pressure. and as an Hpal on that I had so much agency and had a lot of extra jobs with soaking and what not and because of my guild structure I had to soak 2x and make sur eI had an ineffible truth proc somewhere in there so my bubble was off cd and man I had so much fun, it was also my first CE.

[@WhiteWolves.]

The only thing that was missing from this was like a layout pick also, just so when we voted in chat we would have a better idea of what we would hate or love to do😂

[@erike9074]

I wish they included pre-Legion expansions in this but understand why they don't. Their boss pool is missing some of the GOATs like kaelthas, Lich King, H Ragnaros, Lei Shen, Seigecrafter, and Blackhand.

[@Jrose767]

Fronk loves doing a lot of stuff huh

[@redtemple8918]

Shame you don’t go from ToT onwards I’d say there’s some mega first bosses like immersius and kargath bladefist for example I think that those tiers are also of modern quality

[@icresp4263]

As a tank and dps main i wouldve picked Jak's list. Every single boss in there was super fun. Couldnt pick one i didnt like. The other lists all had a stinker or 2.

[@Fleato]

JAk's list is straight healer (Im a healer) much of current boss's mechanics are handled with defensives not with healers.

[@dralekelesondros4112]

Is Fronk too busy being Max's editor, is that why he hasn't released a Dragonflight recap yet? Makes me sad - best part of every expansion.

[@Rosario101]

I posted this idea on the M+ draft video, love that they are doing this! Looking forward to watching Max lose again 😅

[@Eyad.k2]

Man, dratnos picking is so bang

[@jordenford1056]

Is there video of blizzard force wiping liquid on kin'garoth?

[@kmdsubs3148]

For me, Growl's list is the easy choice

[@RealCecilion]

Max keeps saying his raids slaps and im in here hating almost every fight he chose lol

[@ViriuZ7]

Why is it only from Legion trough Dragonflight?

[@slykotic8718]

Growl's raid on repeat i'd resub forever

[@mellowsunset7730]

I generally liked the picks, a lot of great bosses in the last few years. I like how the best players like a good hard challenge (unlike some of the so-called high end mythic + players who whine and moan for everything to be nerfed and made more bland and easy all the time).

[@pizapzop]

I love how Max is gasing his own picks when it is unasailably by far the absolute WORST of all 6 😂 and it Isn’t close

[@TayzerLazerGames]

Before watching - If sire denathrius or le shen isn't on here we riot.

[@daenerys231]

Max here not realizing that good bosses for RWF aren't necessarily good for your casual CE raider. Council of Blood bad, Avatar bad, Fyrakk, total shit. Shriekwing was good, the rest of his were very meh. Dratnos and Grow picked bosses that were great for casual CE raiders which is why they won.

[@vaypur8584]

How the fuck did Nzoth not get picked?! Greatest boss of all time

[@Fleato]

I'll be honest, the uunat last boss pick is an L to a majority of the player base. might have been a good fight. most people didnt do it or even touch it though.

[@snozer500]

It was a mixture of things. He was warned by (I think) Dratnos in advance that, if they did this list in this format, Max's chat would just vote against him for the luls, and you can tell Max put a lot of thought into his list and thought it was worth more votes than it got (which is true, imo).

Oney reason i dont like Max list for example ist because Fyrakk has the least epic theme out of all these endbosses. Like if you stand infront of a boss for 200 pulls the theme and voicelines have to be absolute bangers as well. Fyrakk just didnt hit that Warcraft feel

[@joshuawoodard6998]

Hivemind, Rygelon, Thaddius, Huntsman Alt, lady inerva, hungering destroyer, lords of dread w/o the w/a part, Dausegne, patchwerk, Maut. I only started CE 8.3 to current and casual before then for reference. I like bosses where mechanics don't stop you from pumping. Pure rotatation, your spec vs mine type of bosses.
