Holiday Bosses Are Awesome

Headless Horseman in the Scarlet Monastery Graveyard

As a non-raider, one of the best things in the game that I enjoy is the holiday bosses that are available for several of the "big" holidays. You can kill them once per day and each one drops some sort of epic quality gear that is almost guaranteed to be of some benefit to your characters.

The best part? You can farm the bosses for their dropped loot and then you have another shot at cool items from the once a day goodie bag you get as well.

During Brewfest a few weeks ago I got ilevel 365 trinkets for all specs for Bandin, Segovax, and Alakavish. During the Midsummer Festival I got capes for all of them, and now during Hallow's End going on right now I've gotten rings for all three as well.

It's a great way to fill in some gaps once a year because Blizzard upgrades the items dropped each time to be consistent with current content.

Sometimes, being a non-raider does have some perks that make gearing a little easier if you just know where to look.
