For those of you complaining about DM coming at launch saying it will trivialize early raiding, you have no idea what its going to do because 90% of the information we have on vanilla floating around youtube is all based on private server data. even the private server devs have said they had to make up alot of the data values because they did not have them nor could they find them.
and to my memory of vanilla i dont recall any guilds speed running MC in less than an hour and its being done on private servers in less than 30 mins so to me it would seem private server raids may be tuned alot lower. but we honestly have no way to know this. so you guys need to calm it down and see what happens. blizzard will do what they have planned anyway.
It’s not just DM. It’s also that many pre-raid items have received significant buffs in 1.10 and all the reworked talent trees making characters more powerful.
I've seen vids of people on pservers clearing BWL in a matter of forty minutes, no joke.
DM gear is the biggest non issue on these forums along with the joint sub. Add some extra blue gear and apparently the sky is falling. And yes I raided in 1.12 and no one was talking about DM gear.
Yes we need to speculate on the difficulty of the first raid tier. But given 1.12 talents and 16 debuff slots let alone the 'greater skill' of modern players I think its safe to say that MC will be less difficult than it was for people 13 or 14 years ago.
Dire Maul gear and buffs will make it even easier.
Why not push for a more granular content release schedule closer to what the private servers were able to accomplish? It keeps content relevant longer and gives players a reason to engage with classic more consistently over a longer time period.

you were raiding mc in 1.12? wow what a pro
i raided and main tanked from 1.3 to TOC in wotlk i know alot changed in those times however i dont think shield slam abuse is the major factor here as everyone thinks it is, alot of this problem is private server data being lorded as true vanilla fact and its not. i would say there are maybe 50 or so people with the memory capacity to actually remember everything from vanilla , i played 12+ hours a day and have no clue how much threat i pushed or how much dps my best players ran even from wotlk days so nobody can reliably say what shield slam will do to classic with the correct values in place.
