At level 60 in Naxx gear that mob/boss Atiesh was kinda hard.
We used flasks and had 2 healers to kill him.Atiesh has an unholy aura (permanent aoe damage).
He also hits pretty hard on the tank (dual wield but one weapon can be disarmed).
Further he has some curse which did or increase damage (dont remember) which need to be removed from players.
In our group a priest was aoe healing the group, the druid was focused on the tank.Atiesh had 200k hp, which is pretty much for a 5m boss at 60.
Blizzard should try to make atleast some of the 5m bosses as hard as that one.
If you completed up to this part pre wrath is the quest still completable?
