To be honest, raids are only good in my opinion if you can wipe. This show up with 40 people and zug 20 man content nonsense is cringe.

I guess thatâs where we differ. Iâm not looking for âsmash my head into keyboardâ difficulty. Iâm looking for fun raids. Bosses that have fun mechanics. Trash packs that are interesting.
To me, TBC Karazhan is the definition of a perfect raid. Fun theme. Fun bosses. Fun mechanics. It really doesnât get any better than old school Karazhan for me. That was PEAK wow.
Its an extremely unpopular opinion on the lightclub but twisting is extremely uninteresting as watching a timers and managing 2 seals isnât exactly peak gameplay
I definitely donât like the borrowed power sanctified system, especially as it invalidates a lot of previous gear that we could use.
But Naxxramas is too good of a raid to skip.
Naxx is just too long. So is Karazhan, I love SoD but good god doing anything requires dedicating an entire evening lol.

no, i play SoD because i enjoy the game and raiding with other people. power systemin a singular dungeon is irrelevant. I really donât understand the mindset behind if a retail system is added its automatically bad. especially in this case where itâs confined to and generally a positive in naxx with the only real ânegativeâ impact being bag space in the rest of the game. AND you are a pally playing a spec that basically didnt exist in vanilla/classic. if we are going with the retail bad narrative well paladins doing relevant dps is a retail thing. so, shouldnât we go back to paladins doing dog excrement dps.
and even in your perception of the game. worst case scenario in you engaging in the content is a net increase of 300dps. thatâs hardly the worse outcome a system could have.
as to my prediction on scarlet enclave. i doubt the sanctified system will make a difference in scarlet enclave. theyâve changed raid and reward structure at every phase of end game raiding. i doubt they are going deviate from this behavior. The devs from the onset have said they would be experimenting with different things within the season. love it or lump it you were given honesty in this regard and the experiments they are doing are basically data collection for future iterations of the game.
The 300 dps increase comes at the loss of personal fun in the changes to my spec from the loss of previous sets and the lack of any gain from the new gear
if the raid isnât fun
the spec isnât fun
the gearing isnât fun, why bother?
that just leaves the people and iâm maintaining relationships outside of the once a week raid
the power system compounds and obfuscates that naxx is not the shining pinnacle of classic raiding
neither is paladin dps. but here we are.
Naxx is fun (over AQ).
Sanctified system sucks.
Most (the classes i play) tier sets are garbage and hella boring over the AQ ones.
If it wasnt for my guild i would of stopped raiding naxx already.

This system would be causing so much more fussâŠif it wasnât for Naxx just being an an overall great raid aesthetically and even boss design wise.
Totally agree, Naxx is more enjoyable over AQ for sure, and the T3 set bonuses are pretty boring for sure for most classes. During the gearing, valor ranking up and different HMs, itâs even not fun to check my parse anymore until probably the end of the phase when things are more settled, geared, etc. to really start comparing how Iâm doing, but who knows how long that will be. Iâm at least glad they gave us the shoulder rune option, although I do wish we could play around with them more instead of having to buy each time we want to switch.
I think if they gave both factions access to paladins and shamans, itâd totally be a fun thing to add to this phase as Iâm sure many of us would love to play around with them, assuming we wonât be going to any other content after scarlet and probably just be in an era realm. Iâd love to try a SoD paladin but no way am I going on Alliance to do that.
warrior t3 is a large downgrade from prior tiers outside of naxx, and yes it does make t3 indeed feel pointless. Not even the 2pc has a place outside of naxx.
Im not skipping Naxx in fact. I will be running it on multiple toons since its so alt friend. I might even get Aetish on my mage. =)
Clearing in less than half an hour is not really that difficult. You canât clear that fast with a rat alt, but I donât think you should get Naxx quality loot with rat gear in 30 minutes.

Naxx is such a good raid, but this system is definitely worthy of quitting.
Sanctified is the worst system Iâve seen added to SoD and I hope we never see anything like it in future seasons/classic+/whatever. Honestly it scares me that the developers even thought it was a good idea. Really should be some soul-searching for how a system like this got green lighted. Not all testing is good testing.
we play Retail, actually.
Kel Thuzad already knows whatâs up. I donât skip naxx, naxx skips me.
Preach brother.
Naxx is the worst dungeon to date with its silly sanct system, but not even half as bad as the state of warriors.
You arenât clearing KC in 30 minutes, give me a break lmao.
Hey if itâs a 30 second boss fight you guys are kings⊠So at least you have thatâŠ
