Real mechanics which were interesting and threatening. Really a breath of fresh air after Wrath dungeons were so lame by comparison. On top of that great visual design all around.
The only problem is Blizz didn’t stick to their guns and nerfed them all. If you couldn’t hang it in Cata dungeons I really don’t know what to say.
Yea they were great, doing HoO on heroic and if the big guy got a single cast off it’d just 1 shot your tank
Good stuff
Lol I just remember Grim Batol, and people dying to Throngus during one of his abilities, and on Erudax not killing the eggs.
Imo, Cata was when people really started to ignore mechanics and tried to zug bosses to death. Big surprise when they couldn’t.
I blame Wrath for that issue, where such things were generally possible.
Yep, Wrath trained players that they could basically just zugzug their way through dungeon encounters with next to no consequences. Then arrives Cata and people got a wake up call in heroics lol. Devs wanted to make the game a bit harder and I was all for it. Sadly many were not and that was major factor in subs declining in Cata. Not the only reason mind you, but a major one.
