I'm pretty sure he meant realistically killable content. Those listed above aren't doable until Kunark is released.

Some guild should totally try killing them. With a big enough zerg force I'm sure it could be done.

Most of those mobs listed can single round players and pets and will resist virtually every spell available. Don't think it hasn't been contemplated though... but not with zerg tactics.

Some ideas have been tossed around, and guilds have talked about taking them down together for sure. Problem is, those mobs have such insane DPS right now that it would take 70+ people to even begin to attempt them. And assuming you could kill them, it would be a one-time thing just to say its been done.

I consider Spiroc lord the top boss in classic right now because hes tough as nails, but not so crazy that he can't be killed on a regular basis. Also, if he happens to spawn with 2 Spiroc Wingblades (that I believe he his holding right now) his dps goes up by at least another 50%. Getting hit for 350 damage 6 times at once is no fun.

Rotations on mobs like VS will just suck IMO. 6 month waiting list to get that mob is what we will see...

Can you explain please? He hits the same amount with a weapon or not no? Least with us he did. We killed him at least twice dual wielding wingblades and never noticed an increase in dps. Then again he was hitting for almost 500 then, maybe something changed when they fixed him.

Twice the amount of rounds per attack (and parsed data to prove it). To boot the two times we've downed double-bladed spiroc lord he was wearing a 16% belt and a 21% belt. That definitely didn't help...

Correct. When he is holding one blade, he attacks for up to 4 attacks (quad) per round like normal. However, when he is holding a second blade, he also quads with that one. He averages 6 hits per round of attacks, up to a max of 8 we have seen.

I feel sorry for our clerics [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

if that's true it should be fixed, no mob should double quad like that, especially if they dont have the flurry skill.

I thought that Sky mobs didn't really quad, they just increased haste or something to make it look like it.

I could be way off.
