Rdycheck - A boss design blog.

[Kaelang]

Hey,

So, I've been interested in boss mechanics and boss design for a while now and thought I might as well start jotting down my creative impulses.

And thus 'Rdycheck' was born. A blog which will be updated daily with boss ideas which have come to my head throughout the day.

If you guys use wordpress a follow (if you're interested) would be lovely.

See my first post (Talrain, Warlock of the Ninth Legion) here: https://rdycheck.wordpress.com/

Cheers,
Kaelang.

I just checked the first boss. So the first problem is grammar. Please work on that (for example decreasing health by 2% in Blizz terminology means reducing max health, "dealing damage equal to the 2% of the player's max health" is less ambiguous.). Second is, that on the first boss nothing prevents the raid from stacking on each other, making the prisons and ghoul aoe phases too easy.

Hey,

Thanks for the constructive criticism. I'll be sure to work on the grammar of my posts

The first boss is an introductory boss, it's not meant to be a difficult fight, players can group up throughout if they wish to.

That being said, it did cross my mind to add a form of area of effect damage mechanic to the prisons but I decided against it.

Introducing the Savage Kenoa: https://rdycheck.wordpress.com/2015/04/ ... age-kenoa/

This boss requires a raid to be constantly moving whilst pushing out some high DPS and HPS. A slightly complex fight with a lot of potential for a raid wipe.

Enjoy.
