So I used to level characters in a challenge type way. Level them all through vanilla zones and dungeons, lock my XP at 60 and with a guild of other 60s xp locked and we’d gear up on all the old vanilla raids. Once those are done we’d move on to BC and level up in Outland, lock at 70 and do BC raids. Was extremely fun, did this in Legion before the squish and was probably the most fun I’ve ever had since release of Wrath.
The leveling is different now obviously but me and a few friends are looking to getting a few level 30 characters to try and do old raids. Any idea if they are even possible?
I’m sure AQ10 is possible with a few 30s but ICC is scaled so wonky, (level 30 bosses with 10+ million hp) no idea if you could even do it.
I think you misunderstand. I am planning on doing Classic/BC/Wrath raids legit with only level 30s in them. So nobody in the group would be above level 30.
I’m asking how big of a group we’d need to do this since the raids are scaled differently, as Wrath raids might be impossible

It’s been a long, long time since I’ve done Twink raiding and with the squish I didn’t feel like “fixing” my old twinks.
I know some bosses in AQ 40 have about 270k+ hp but that’s just the health and I can’t say how hard they’re actually going to hit, sometimes trash hits harder than the bosses do.
I think black temple is a substantial step up in Mob HP still and possibly damage compared to the other TBC raids before it, Sunwell and Hyjal are probably the same way.
Wrath Naxxramas I actually did some of on a…uhh 35 paladin for reference and could solo several bosses but Patchwerk absolutely destroyed him in moments, way more damage than other bosses, definitely want atleast three healers. Ulduar and ICC probably want a full raid still but can’t guarantee on their difficulty.
You see the big thing with that is once you hit 5vl levels above something it becomes face roll easy. That’s when you start doing 20x the damage to then and they deal almost nothing to you.
Level 30-34 is the sweet spot, but since we are only trying classic raids we’ll probably only need 30s
I only mentioned 35 as a point of reference for how hard Patchwerk is gonna hit a 30 if he demolished a 35 in maybe
25 seconds that could solo the plague quarter. If you do make it to Wrath, he’s gonna be a hurdle without enough tanks and healers.
Edit: I also didn’t do absurd amounts of bonus damage to anything at 35 as I recall it took forever to get bosses down, felt like doing mage tower in a way. I still have my 35 paladin in case I need to double check the current scaling but if I remember right he breezed through Black Temple and started to struggle in Naxx as if they were scaling differently or were treated as being higher level than they were.
we have an entire guild on Thrall called Legacy Thirty that run lvl 30 content, come join us
ICC drops ilvl 115 gear now, and the bosses are not one shots. I just did a heroic 25 ICC on my monk last night and it took me aback that I actually had to use like 8 skills on the bosses. Is interesting, haven’t been in there since like 9.1 and it’s really different now.
I would LOVE this. Especially raids after wrath since I’ve basically never done them.

Make it simple. Just go to Classic and play at max level.

Hey Toxiktraktor - is that still a thing you guys are doing? Running low level raids at level?
I have a character that I would like to level up through every expansion and he’s currently locked at 30 knocking out all the zones and dungeons (locked at 30 but have to do timewalking to be able to use the queue for dungeons)
