There were no telegraphs, or aggro indicators.. Life was simple and deadly, but you learned what killed you and what didn't. You watched the boss for his movements which I suppose is more direct IC than a telegraph.

Over the years add-ons, mods and evolution made things easier and the fights got more complex.

However if you look in FFXIV at the bosses, often there are actions associated wth their telegraphed attacks.. and some with attacks that aren't telegraphed that you can still avoid.

I'm not sure I answered anything, I hope if I did you managed to dodge

There are very few telegraphed boss attacks in WoW. Â You either know where the thing is going to be, or you don't. Â When mods have come along that will tell you ahead of time where not to stand, Blizzard has cheerfully broken them. Â Knowing -when- an ability is coming isn't the same as knowing where -not- to stand.

That said, I think most of the improvement has actually been players getting better, not mods and addons. >.>
