** Back in before the Burning Crusade, the world boss Kazzak would cast a debuff on players that would make them explode for massive damage to everyone around when they hit 0 mana. This debuff was not removed by the Paladin immunity spell, which meant they could aggro the boss, get the debuff, teleport to a capital, and cast a spell that would drain their entire mana pool. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
*** Kazzak was also pretty close to the human city of Stormwind where he could be taken to by certain classes that were diligent enough to make the trip with a huge boss trailing behind. Once there he would cast a spell that would hit everyone in a specific range for massive damage if there were more than 40 people in his aggro radius (he was a 40-man raid boss). Of course, there are usually hundreds of people in Stormwind at any one time so he could completely decimate the city with ease.
**** Even better, Kazzak's [[Death Blossom]] attack - which was intended to keep raids from cheesing him with too many players - also ''healed'' him for the same amount of damage it caused - AND, the Kazzak fight had an incredibly strict [[Enrage Timer]] (if you did not kill him in X time, he went berzerk and began attacking much, much faster and for far, far more damage). Kazzak would hit that timer before he even reached the city. What this amounts to, was that once Kazzak reached Stormwind, he was effectively invincible, constantly pumping out thousands and thousands of area-effect damage that was constantly healing him for ''far, far more damage than could ever possibly be dealt.'' In order to get him out of the city, [[G MsGMs]] would need to basically restart the entire server, as nothing in Stormwind - not the players, not the NPCs and not the human faction boss - could do anything against him but die in horrifying droves. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VR-kBDVMjA8 Even without knowing anything about World of Warcraft, videos of such encounters are freaking hilarious.]
**** Something similar happened frequently with a Terrorsaur (T-Rex like elite mob) being kited from Un'Goro all the way to Orgrimmar. The video is hilarious, and seeing a mob being kited pretty much all across Kalimdor -especially the Barrens- is an awesome feat indeed.
*** The same could be done with Anachronos (who was also a 40-man raid boss) and Orgrimmar, the orc capital. It was a longer run, and Anachronos wasn't as powerful as Kazzak, but he did still wipe out most of the city.
