Who's considered the hardest boss in GW
kono125
I've always wanted to know as I would like to face him. Is it Dhuum?

I guess it depends on two things:
1. What is your definition of a 'hard' boss?
2. How prepared for the boss battle would you come?
The first meaning: a hard boss is what, a boss that takes a very long time to kill due to having massive HP, a boss that hits very hard, etc?
The second meaning: some bosses require certain (team)builds to beat. If you don't take those builds, the bosses become impossible to beat.

A boss is only really hard if you are unprepared for the fight. In which case the hardest boss for an unprepared team would be in my opinion either Mallyx or Kanaxai.
With the high lvl of degen and spawing nightmares i would go for Kanaxai of those two.
Dhuum is not really hard just kinda long, getting to Dhuum is harder than fighting him.

Kanaxi is easy if you do it properly. i'd say dhuum.

It depends for who its hard.. upon all sc teams ( i didnt rly try it ) , i guess Dhuum and mallyx aren't very hard ....
Anyway , not about the boss , but i think Vloxen Excavation HM is very hard , thus i'll say that Zoldark in HM is hard , because getting to him is already quite dificult ..

i'd say kanaxai if you don't use the knockdown trick those nightmares would be a pain and therefore very hard boss.
Nerel
Vloxen isn't hard IF someone remembers to bring Frozen Soil, Slavers exile is arguably more difficult, as for Zoldark himself... you don't even need to hit him, just pull his minions from afar, wave after wave.
I guess no boss is particularly difficult in and of itself, assuming one is prepared for the fight... Kanaxai goes down in seconds to the right team build, but he's awesomely brutal to a random pug who isn't prepared. Oh, good old Rotscale seems to cause people a lot of problems too, judging by the amount of people who need help with that vanquish...
Personally I think the ele, derv and rit bosses with hard hitting AoEs are some of the worst, sure you can kill them with a single well timed Pain Inverter, but they just eat up the heroes/henchies who love to clump together, not to mention spirits and minions... I love seeing Bohdalz the Furious wipe half the party with a single Spirit Rift.

I'd have to say that if you were to be encountering all of these bosses for the first time with no prior knowledge or way to prepare, that Kanaxai would be the most difficult because unless you have a KD, he can't be defeated (unless you have a lot of health stealing skills I guess).

Instead of just naming bosses in elite areas, let's get some other names.
My vote would go for
Proph-Rotscale
Factions-Can't really say I've ran into any difficult ones here, but maybe some ele Rockhide/Saltspray Dragon boss.
Nightfall-Droajam, Mage of the Sands probably.
EotN-Joffs The Mitigator.

What about Glint on HM? Never tried her on HM, but NM she was a pain in the ass 5 years ago.

I can't think of who I would consider hardest, but at least most of the top 10 do require some preparation.

I'd be curious to see how Kanaxai would fair against an "unprepared", but PvE-only using party. (It's been a long time since I've done The Deep)

also I think it would be best to not include elite area bosses nor end game bosses but only bosses with the aura that you can cap skills from (maby dungeon bosses) might make it easier to find a hard boss

I would say the hardest boss I have ever come by is Rotscale. Even if he isn't considered a boss it's still hard as hell to kill him.

Blaze Bloodbane in presearing? ö

Rotscale versus Plague Touch... here, have your 20 second dazed back. Makes it an easy fight with a hero and hench team.
Glint can be soloed by a spirit spammer
And if you too lazy to do it yourself, a necro hero with Spoil Victor and Signet of Sorrow (sacrifice one hero or henchie) can rip her to pieces very quickly assuming you have some interrupts on another hero. The talk page on wiki is full of people who have killed with all henchman teams, often with no interrupts.
Fendi Nin and his mobs of respawning Damned Crewmen?

But everything is subjective, everyone find difficulties in different bosses.

If you don't use a little trick to make things easier on yourself, Fendi Ninn is very annoying.
Kanaxai is only really annoying for the constant degen and popups, but with 12 people and a large number of humans, it's fairly easy to spike him down quickly. Urgoz takes a bit more time and it's easy to get yourself killed, but the strategy is easy enough.
Similar thing for Dhuum; if you rush too much and try to convert too many people to spirits it's easy to wipe and fail.

if you're prepared for any boss, it can be normal to easy to defeat... if you're not prepared... i'd say the hardest bosses are Rotscale, Shiro (in Gate of Madness), Glint, and Kanaxai
snowman relic
ive got to say the dijinn boss in scatoth valley (the elementalist) was extreemly strong and from my experience the strongest boss we had a group of humans and that boss and its group killed us till we got kicked from area from dp it was in HM btw
EDIT
that sounded stupid to me so let me rephrase it sencibly
in hardmode with a group of vanquishers we went into the burning forest in sanctoth valley and we ran into an elementalist boss who killed our group repetedly untill we got sent back to outpost

When I read the thread title I immediately thought Rotscale.

Churrta the Rock.
Jk Arrow
Joffs the Mitigator, Kunvie Firewing, Argo, and The Drought for the possible party wipe if HH are balled.
Shiro - he's just a PITA...
Zoldark and Fendi - tough dungeon bosses
I'll think of more...

If you aren't prepared...Duncan the Black. There are multiple ways to beat most bosses. Not many ways to beat him.

Ehm, none of them if youre prepared right all of them if youre not. Thought about Fendi Nin first but you can always kill him with a couple of tries at worst, even did that in HM during 7h era. Then you have Rotscale, this is perhaps a favorite of mine because of the way the archers are placed. You get almost instantly spiked when running up to him. But then again, bring a character with some proper blocking or an AP build and it's crazy easy. Dhuum, he's easy too with the right build. Extremely annoying without but that's just about it. You can kill him unprepared with 7h.
Shiro though, I can't recall ever wiping on him ever since NF launch and no I don't bring any skill to counter him at all. Not even stance cancel it's just straight up kill him and get it over with.
Zoldark the Unholy though, he can be a real pain if you come unprepared.. Remember getting a run for him and we had to bring damage for boss, but it was just ridicilous so me as a SoS and a imbagon ended up duoing him in HM.
Perhaps I simply have to go with Borrgus Blisterbark, not because he's anywhere near unbeatable. But because he's fast and moves around in a pretty big area, which means there's a high chance of having him ambush you while you don't suspect it. That said I've never failed on any of em.. Not even on Duncan the Black HM with 3 heroes + henchmen. It's simple, you just kill them and that's it.

I've killed him with "Human Rit Spiritway" back in the pre 7h days in HM. Wasn't prepared at all, didnt bring swap or anything didn't even know what duncans defence was. Just some proper hero flagging and playing dodgeball and in the end he died. Actually Duncan Dodgeball should be a sport! xD

Thread necro much?
Tbh, I've beaten him in nm when we had the totally wrong setup for him...we were there just to do one of the other bosses but just for a laugh we went for Duncan too...it took ages but we did it without any of the skills/tactics that should be used....and some of the heroes were even standing there doing nothing or ignoring the flags and going to suicide at spirits. Anniying boss, but I wouldn't call him one of the hardest.
Sure Fendi Nin is a lot more of a nightmare. And Rotscale if you don't have a smithers team.
Dhumm, never tried it...

If you're unprepared, there's a long list of candidates:
Rotscale, Dhuum, Fendi Nin (along with a couple of other dungeon bosses), B. Blisterbark, Arneh the Vigorous (Joko's Domain), Kanaxi, Mallyx, etc. etc.
If you're prepared for whatever boss you're facing, they're not so tough.
