Dang Fight Gets Easiers Every Year

Horseman rise... 
Your time is nigh... 
You felt death once... 
Now, know demise! 

Yes, me old nemesisesis. It is time once again fer us ta cross blades, ta dancify our eternal dance, to determine fer another year which bugger shall rule the pumpkin-

[Headless Horseman has died]
[You receive Loot-filled Pumpkin]
[Grim Grinning Ring of Goulash: need/greed/pass?]

Hey! I weren't even finished talkin' yet! Great googly moogly....

Pretty soon we will just press the dungeon finder button and loot will appear in our bags.

The Brewfest boss was pretty much a joke as well.

Eh, it depends. My just-turned-85 Pally didn't have the easiest time of it, but if you've got a bunch of firelands-geared DPS monsters running around, suddenly there isn't a whole lot other than Rags that seems challenging. To me the seasonal bosses have always been a way for undergeared cap toons to get something approaching decent loot...and are just fun.

@Kusamoto - My 84 DK tank had no problems tanking him with heroic dungeon geared healers.

@Kusamoto-
I got no problems with raiders bein' able ta smoke him - that's how it oughtta be. And I's a big fan of gettin' some loot fer all me alts. What bothers me is, this year his stats is about the same as the bosses in the level 81 dungeons (in facts, I cain't find a Cata boss with less health). And his head, which I gots fond memories of chasin' all around the graveyard while it yelled at the idiot body, now has so little health what pretty much alls ya gotta do is point yer finger and say "bang". And the pumpkins? They's dead before I even notice they's alive now. Which means the fight's really just a tank-and-spank now, 'stead of the free-fer-all what it used ta be.

I like fun fights. I like fun fights where there be no real risk of dyin'. But this year he's so undertuned is like beatin' up Thrall's grandmother.

@Ratters-
Well, ok, he has less health than cata bosses. He had less health than Wrath bosses last year, if memory serves, and it was basically the same fight. Easy or not, though, it's stil a fun fight to me. Then again, last year was the first year I did it, so I didn't have the candle-summoning experience that y'all did pre-Wrath. It's a seasonal, fun, story boss that isn't supposed to be hard to defeat and gives you a chance at some moderately good loot. Plus it breaks up the monotony of doing TB and Molten Front dailies, which I appreciate. The game was starting to feel a little too much like work.

Ratters that's some imagery you have created of beating up Thrall's grannie.

Link or pics please ?

Maybe I'll just imagine Thrall in a dress *squee* no that's not the right response ;)
