Has anyone else tried the big-bosses in Hard Mode?
Here's what I've done.
Shiro: Did him first. He's lv. 33 (yikes). I was an SV, along with an SS in a PuG. He died in 1:30, hehe. From what I can tell, his attacks do a ton more damage (100+), and Impossible Odds clears all hexes.
Doppleganger: Pathetic. Truly Pathetic. Lv. 30...but her attributes are the same as Normal Mode (lv. 14ish), so the same rules and exploits apply. Although her weapons hit for 100+ and she now uses a spear...
Varesh: Ow. Her Scythe hits for 200+ normal. /resign
Haven't tried Abaddon, Glint, Lich Lord, Kunnavang, Zhu Hanuku (he counts as a boss!), or Shiro + Lich Lord (GAH!)
Has anyone else tried?

Beat Shiro in 2:00...very easy.
The guy in NF who has blinding flash was pretty tough but we got him eventually

I beat Shiro in Hard Mode well under 2:00 with a totally random PUG that didn't prepare at all. Made up of 2 Warriors, 2 Dervs, 1 Monk, 1 Sin, 1 Rt/A and one Ele. No SS or SV in our party at all. I was expecting we'd get owned, but Shiro went down unbelievably easily. LOL

Just as a side curiousity: by beating Shiro in hard mode, do you get another amulet of the mists? (at work, just wondering).
The Great Al
nope, maybe if you beat the whole thing again

Tried fighting Abaddon with 2 people + 6 heroes. It was just a quick trial to see how bad it was before my boyfriend went to sleep, but we didn't even get that far.
A tormet claw popped up and didn't get interrupted just as we got hit with "earth shattering blow". It was nearly a complete party wipe.

Glint is pretty much the same, didn't notice any skill changes although it has been a long time since I last fought her. Wild Blow + interrupts still > Glint

they shoulda made glint lvl 50 or so with fast cast and stuff =)

It's not those bosses you have to worry about tbh.
Double Damage Searing Flames Boss in elona.
or better yet, ARGO.

I have to try that with healing sig + frenzy...

Hmmm, with the amount of damage output going on, how long before people want defensive rit lords again?

Wilheim and Me went down to Jahai Bluffs in hard mode.
Acolyte of Baltahzar. Chilling Victory. 400 damage...
100% speed buff. @_@

My Heroes+Henchies were getting wiped in Mirror Of Lyss because Ruby Djinns there have Searing Flames Elite and they are able to cast it atleast 3 times in a row.
So a boss that can use Searing Flames will be a real pain in the ass to defeat. I guess, interrupts are a must-must now.

Its not all about damage guys...think the opposite direction as well:
Mungri Magicbox and Willa the Unpleasant
On normal its difficult to get the edge...on hard they will fight you to an absolute standstill.

Imagine Tortureweb Dryder in Gate of Pain. 1 Liquid Flame and party wipes out :O

Something tells me the novelty of hard mode is wearing off very quickly.

Abaddon in 14:13... interrupt the Torment Slashes + Paragon henchmen for Cautergy Signet and it's cake.

I went skill capping in hard mode, and the Healers boon boss at level 30 was invincible. 
Mesmers are once again neccessary to farm bosses in hard mode.

Level 50 Glint sounds like a cool thing to have, in this case we could accept the bets on "Glint vs Onyxia"

I tried some hard mode stuff and it lives up to its name, but I think it's doable. SS necros own because all monsters do stuff twice as fast.'I do think it's fun though, I have a feeling I will beat them all one of these days, though I must say some are a pain. In vizunah square I easily got overwhelmed because mobs were coming in from every side. Most annoying thing about factions however is the NPC's. MAKE MHENLO AND TOGO LVL 24 TOO PLZ, they die all the time. try doing vizunah square or raisu palace and keeping mhenlo and togo alive becomes a real pain.
Still, I must say aNet did a great job and put some serious time into this, just gotta figure out what builds work (doing them all with a guildie and 6 heroes). For tahnakai temple we actually made a barrage/pet team to find a way around koss and goren wasting themselves on sliver armor :P. For raisu we used the same, and a spirit of natures renewal, our hero team uses no hexes or enchants, the enemy howerev, kinda depends on them ^^.
As for some bosses, necros and mesmers will do the job for you, or rangers, all of those are classes that many people think off as being useless, think again people ^^.

My necromancer defeated her level-30 doppelgänger in about 18 seconds with spiteful spirit, reckless haste, and price of failure. I have not tried the others yet.

Awakened mobs are just stupid. The mobs themselves are massive, the Dune Carvers kill faster than the Spartans do, specially vs moronic hench that stand on top of each other.
Not to mention the Savannah Heat boss... the final wave of it did 250 damage to Ranger inside a wurm and they seem to have updated them to not have 0AL now.

Anybody try Gate of Madness yet?

Doppelganger if a bit buffed but is still stupid. I took defile flesh, empathy, awaken of blood, offering of blood. Just place backfire first, then empathy and kite the rest. He will kill himself alone. And watch for his spear, it really hurts.
milkflopance
Shiro went down in 1:24 
The Doppelganger was as pathetic as usual.
I've yet to try Abaddon and Glint, although i doubt they'll be a problem.

I heard Glint is close to level 35 or so and is hard to beat according to my alliance members
Diablo???
