World Boss Preview Now Available!

World Boss Preview Now Available!

Check out the Mists of Pandaria preview website and get a first glimpse at one of the two new roaming world bosses: Salyis’s Warband! These extremely powerful monsters will do everything in their power to make your life more... “interesting” as you explore the mysterious continent of Pandaria.

World bosses spawn in the open world and can be attacked by any player (un)fortunate enough to cross their paths. Salyis's Warband will be quite rare, while the expansion's other boss will appear with fairly regular frequency. But before you charge headfirst into battle, keep in mind that it will take the combined efforts of a full raid to bring one of these guys to their knees.

Taking down a world boss is no small feat, but the rewards make it all worthwhile: achievements, fabulous items, and massive bragging rights will all be yours if you and your comrades in arms succeed in felling one of these roving terrors. Check back soon for more info on the game's other world boss, the Sha of Anger!

@Belthin: Always love it when scrubs think Skilled and dedicated player translates to basement dweller with no life. Stop being lazy, join a guild of motivated people, and you won't have to QQ in forums.

This seems like a great idea, but really it seems like the hardcore guilds will end up farming it, while the rest are left to watch...

For all those who !@#$%es and moans about some Kung fu panda stuff, just so you know that Blizzard is becoming big in China therefore this expansion has a lot of connection to China itself . What more that you can do than dedicated your game to a new exciting audience of players. And this guy below me Sagitarius go get yourself some free handy and i mean your left or right hand cos you're going to end up playing this expansion anyway..

I hate all this kung fu panda crap.. but I just hope the fights are fun, dragon soul (along with most cata fights) are boring. All cata was is tanks swoping taunts, healers standing there healing and dos standing there just hitting. BWD and BOT were both good raids because they had fun machanics, magmaw was fun, kiting larva, and using the chains... That was fun.. blizz, bring back machanics to fights, tired of standing around spamming arcane shot lol.

@Sagitarius: also, just a note, before you say that DS is boring, try doing the fights on H... hell just finish normal. There hasnt been a fight where if you dont roll the entire boss you die or if you dont have someone take dmg from a lethal ability you wipe. Learn some !@#$ before you post about a raid being "boring"

@Sagitarius: This is funny because you haven't even completed DS yet. It also may be more fun if you didn't MS arguably the most boring Hunter spec. And seriously, you believe simply cause it involves Panda's it's automatically a Dreamworks movie? Don't like it? Don't buy it. Nobody is telling you how to spend your money.

Its nice to see that blizzard took a hint that all this "free" loot from just doing random dungeons is.. well sad.. They need to bring more back from Vanillia wow. the game has become "to easy" when I havent played since cata release.. and started back a week ago.. and i'm already in 359 to 397 gear...

The only two downsides of this whole expac are little kiddies crying about Kung Fu Panda, cause they don't know lore,or it does some a bit more cartoony not much but still it's edging that way.

I am happy about this...I was so disappointed when Blizzard removed the world dragons....I mean why would you do that? At least replace them with something else. GG Blizzard on this one. I would like to see more world bosses in the future!!!!
