I'm sorry, but it was difficult to know where to start. As you correctly pointed out, I did just suggest you had no clue what you were on about without going through your post point by point. Considering you don't even play the game, it seems a bit pointless but I will explain briefly then:

I don't think the hp of a boss has much to do with its difficulty. His hp values do mean that everyone needs to be precise with stacking up the plague in phase 1, and if anyone messes up, it won't be possible to kill him before he enrages.
Easily? Anyone could throw heals at whichever target is lowest on HP, What are you talking about? There are innumerable sources of damage, adds, aoes, instant kill zones, including collapsing platforms and flying Valkyrs that pick up your raid members and throw them off the map.
taunt spam to maintain aggro, Firstly, that's not how a tank maintains aggro. Secondly one tank can't tank the Lich King as he just gets killed by Soul Reaper. (You need to have a tank rotation with cooldowns.)
or casts one spell in repetition without pause. Sure, apart from having lots of spells you need to cast. And needing to move when you get the plague in phase 1, a defile is targeted near you, the platform beneath your feet gets destroyed, you need to run after (or get grabbed by) a flying add, a kamikaze ghost is sent at you, or you're ported into another dimension to save the Lich King's father. Other than stuff like that, it's pretty much standing around.
Of course, by the time 3k*25 == 1x10^8 ~ 22 minutes (not counting the damage mitigation) pass, Your google skills let you down here as he enrages after 15 mins, instantly killing everyone if the fight isn't over at this point.
I could have done something much more enjoyable. I don't pride myself upon wasting time and money in a mindless vidya game. Well good for you, but we were talking about difficulty rather than enjoyment. Also, you have failed to put forward any accurate evidence that the game is "mindless".
I would suggest that this might be linked to the fact that you don't play the game and consequently aren't really competent to comment on it. |
