Two Bosses Enter (http://www.wow.com/category/two-bosses-enter/) ... but only One Boss Leaves, in WoW.com's series of fantasy death matches. Welcome to Round Two of the five-man Wrath of the Lich King season. Grab a seat, and let's get ready to rumble!
This week's Two Bosses Thunderdome is a fantastical menagerie: Gortok Palehoof and his Utgarde Pinnacle menagerie against Lavanthor of the Violet Hold. Palehoof and Company sailed through the gamut of Old Stratholme in their first-round matchup against the Infinite Corruptor (http://www.wow.com/2009/03/26/one-boss-leaves-palehoof-and-co-take-out-infinite-corruptor/) (the Culling of Stratholme), while Lavanthor chewed up Moragg (http://www.wow.com/2009/03/12/one-boss-leaves-lavanthor-chews-up-moragg/)like a discarded chew toy in his own first-round match. Will this week's matchup offer a more challenging battle for each?
The ground rules:
Assume that the opponents along with their collected minions share similar levels, health pools and comparative overall damage output.
This deathmatch takes place in neutral territory, which shall not hinder either boss from using his usual encounter abilities.
All the usual minions will be available to each boss.
Don't get caught up in gameplay mechanics and what actual players might do in each encounter.
Don't neglect style, story and scale.
As Dr. Dealgood would say -- ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls ... Dyin' time's here (http://www.moviesoundclips.net/movies1/max3/dying.wav).Continue reading Two Bosses Enter: Gortok Palehoof vs. Lavanthor (http://www.wow.com/2009/09/03/two-bosses-enter-gortok-palehoof-vs-lavanthor/)
