Gatekeeping Naxx 25M groups with one requirement is just dumb. Add in the crystals. Yes, I know you can run with one priest (and have done it myself) but some priests I have seen can’t manage to do it solo. Killing Naxx runs because of one class requirement needs to go. The content could easily be cleared if it wasn’t for this one mechanic. Bring the player not the class.

It’s literally a bonehead mechanic. You bone shield, you taunt. You tell your partner when your shield is about to run out. You refresh mind control.

Yeah, the mechanic isn’t even hard. Just requires a priest.
Needing a priest is the mechanic.

Pug a priest? Pay a priest? I’m kinda baffled at the amount of guilds/raids/pugs that can’t get priests.

Honestly just make it skippable to Sapp / KT. Pretty soon it’s the only loot that will matter anyway. Esp. on 10m

I agree with this as well. Being able to skip Razuvious while still being able to attempt Sapp / KT in some way would also fix this issue.

Maybe request for incentives to play priest. No one would bat an eye if it was a mechanic only doable by paladins and dks but god forbid it’s priests.

dk with a sense of humor
like a unicorn found or four leaf clover
imma buy a lottery ticket
thank you!
sounds like someone needs to level a priest. if its such a problem. take advantage of it. level a priest get free loots.
Same thing with shamans. sure not as many as needed but its suprsing how little there are.
QQing that 8% of your raid needs to be priests… in original naxx 20% of your raid needed to be warriors… And that was just the tanks
Well pallys and dks are all over the place a priest not so much.
Add the crystals.
Find a priest, recruit the priest, friend the priest, level your own priest. Lots of options.

Lots of either hard to achieve options. Can’t find what doesn’t exist, can’t recruit what doesn’t exist, can’t friend what doesn’t exist, imagine leveling an alt specifically for one mechanic of one fight in one raid.
Classic players are actually brain dead.
Inb4 suffer w/o a priest, I already have the crystal because I’m in a 10 man focused guild, with no interest in doing any formal 25 man raiding.

out of 25 players, you just need 2 priests.
Get gud.
I mean, just my opinion but I think there are reasons there’s a shortage of priests.
Spriest is like running a small business moreso than playing, and the damage is meh (on warcraft logs, of raid-acceptable specs it only beats out ret/arms/fury, and doesn’t even have later scaling to look forward to as those do.
I’m sure some still enjoy it, but who’s really going to commit to a fiddly, underwhelming dps spec just because it’s required for one fight in phase 1?
On the healing side, the design of disc means you can’t use 2 (even if you definitely want 1), and most guilds would prefer not to waste a healer slot on a holy priest.
Again, a 2nd priest is in demand for this one occasion, but outside of that it’s…meh.
Our first immortal run this expac was with one priest, also who had never done it before. Was pretty exciting XD
They should’ve added the MC totem from the beginning.
Never trust a priest to do a job that a tank can do better.
Says the person playing classic wow games.
