I love healing but here’s my take on running mythics with some friends in Legion…
Everyone is running around as fast as possible, cutting as many corners as possible so that they can beat a timer to get another key. And while that challenges me as a healer because I have to basically make up for the fact that nobody is CCing anything, DPS are being forced to deal with their own threat, the tank is just chain pulling everything they can without any concern for what that may mean for everyone else, and all of them are self proclaiming to be having a blast and that it’s such a challenge despite the only reason they are even getting close to being successful is because I’m healing like a damn pro.
So yeah, Mythics are challenging if you are a healer and your team is all “gogogogogo”, but I can’t see any of it being fun or challenging if it wasn’t such a clusterpuck, and my party was actually doing things that would make everyone’s life easier, like CCing and focus firing down key targets.
That said, I’d love to get back that classic dungeon crawl. That experience is why I had continued to play WoW all of these years. It’s a shame that it’s been replaced with speed running mechanics where the only challenge comes from having to deal with the insanity of the party that just wants to thrive on the chaos of the moment rather than thoughtful and planned strategy and tactics.
