So, I only played vanilla, BC, WOTLK, CATA, Legion, and BFA. However, I legitimately feel that BFA has the worst dungeons and also the worst mechanics I have ever had to deal with as a healer.
The random aggro (monsters chasing random members regardless of aggro or tank taunts), random AOE silences, unfortunate AOE damage.
I mean, considering using CC is a thing of the past since WOTLK and M+ timers made people feel the need to GO FASTER… It really is just not enjoyable to heal much anymore.
I really cannot be the only person feeling this way. xD
Ooops. Posted with wrong character. Yes, I do heal on both druid and paladin. I decided not to level my other healers because I was just not feeling it worth it. For the first time in any expansion.
Also, I left out that the poorest examples of dungeons this expansion have to be Siege of Boralus and Kings Rest. Siege makes me wonder why the person who designed it was able to get it past the drawing board… Let alone implemented.
No, not standing back undisturbed. However, since more and more the game is being pushed towards not using CC because of kids watching MDI then attempting to pretend they are competitors… It makes healing not fun. At least in MDI they use SOME CC abilities or class utility. Then you add in the combination of mechanics in dungeons now… It is not fun to me.
What happened to BC where if you did not CC certain mobs you would wipe on trash pulls? Why is EVERYTHING all about AOE now? I know it has been this way since WOTLK, but why have CC if it is only used for PVP?
I’m sure your experience in all those plus 6 keys has given you great insight.
Ever heard of kiting? Or soothing said mobs when it applies? Or stuns? Snares?
Not a single dungeon has a random silence that isnt immediately preceeded by a cast time that announces that it’s about to happen. This is a situation for getting good.
Maybe the problem is that you actually believe this?
No, but you definitely have the dumbest reasons for feeling this way.
No where near as bad as people make out.
Yeah hard pass on this.
You are posting this on a druid, a healer with the most CC out of any healer in the game.
Yeah, CC 3/4 mobs per pack and do them one at a time. Such fun and not boring at all.
They’re not amazing dungeons, but they’re not bad. Except Mechagon, which is my favorite dungeon added to the game in a long time. And they’re fine to heal, and easy outside of trash dungeons like Shrine of the Storm (which is the worst dungeon this expansion…)
Thank you for the first unbiased, non-condescending, and non-douchey reply. You obviously do not agree with me, but at least you did not feel the need to attack.
I agree, Mechagon is by far the best dungeon this expansion. Which really makes it shine just how bad the others are in comparison xD
For sure, I don’t care about other replies. You were asking personal opinions about the dungeons and those are mine.
Like I mentioned, the dungeons are mostly just “fine”. I dunno, WoD had some of the best dungeons in the game while BC and Legion had pretty mediocre ones. But that’s basically been the game in its entirety. I wish they’d add more dungeons throughout the expansion, not just one epic one. I think dungeons get more attention than raids, but with M+, they now have to think about adding dungeons and how it works with affixes. For as good as it has been for the game, I do attribute it to why we don’t get new dungeons. From CMs to M+. It’s unfortunate.
