At level 85 with 5000 AA's this doesn't even stun me. =(

I remember that fight with a raid of level 65's though, good times.

Yeah, quite the encounter. It's a shame it's fallen so far, but that's the way things go in MMOs.

I first did AOW when we were 60, and those 1100 quads + frenzy absolutely terrified me. My palms were sweating. I was just a recruit for the #2 guild on the server; and they had yet to log an AoW kill. That was their first, that night.

Years later, I returned with some guildmates. We were all from a post-Uqua guild (gates of discord) at 65 with a few hundred aa's a piece. Perhaps 15 of us, with a few alts in their 40's and 50's waiting to pick up some loot. One of my proudest moments when I became the first non-warrior (paladin) on the server to tank the fight. Wasn't particularly hard with 12000hp, but I still was fairly pleased.

Still one of my favorite encounters of all time. In it's era, that AoW delivered a whallop that there just wasn't gear to reliably handle. Even 4 expansions later it was a multi-group encounter. Not many mobs that can say that.
