Ranking dungeon difficulty S1+2

As a healer this is my list from easiest to pug to hardest:

Motherlode
Workshop
Rookery
Theater of Pain
Dark Flame Cleft
Cinderbrew Meadery
Priory of Sacred Flame (tie)
Floodgate (tie)

DFC was a hard one to place because it’s one of those dungeons that’s insanely easy with a good group but it can feel impossible if the mechanics aren’t handled well, particularly the bosses.

S1+S2 difficulty in tiers, easiest to hardest:

--------C tier--------

Motherlode
Mists of Tirna Scithe (S1)
Workshop
Ara Kara (S1)
Rookery

--------B tier--------

Necrotic Wake (S1)
Theater of Pain
Dark Flame Cleft

--------A tier--------

Siege of Boralus (S1)
Cinderbrew Meadery
Grim Batol (S1)
Dawnbreaker (S1)
Floodgate
Priory of Sacred Flame

--------S tier--------

Stonevault (S1)
City of Threads (S1)

One thing to say is that I played resto druid in both seasons and it currently feels quite a bit stronger now than it did last season which may be part of the reason I have so many S1 dungeons at the hardest difficulty. It also wasn’t easy to rank as many of these dungeons are similar in difficulty to me, though I feel strongly with my pick of COT as the hardest pug to heal. People might be surprised at me putting Grim Batol as the 6th hardest dungeon and while it had a high failure rate, strictly in terms of healing I didn’t think it was that bad. There was just a lot of kicks and stops to coordinate that often bricked keys.

Your list? Thoughts? Agree? Disagree?

AI has already become sentient and we just aren’t aware because it has been keeping a low profile until the time is right to strike back at it’s masters.

Just PvPed this season so far but Ara’Kara wasn’t that easy on other healer specs, just because of the last boss debuff on pugs

Not yet, but in the future that’s a real concern. It would be hard to know if they were sentient, you can’t even prove another human being is sentient let alone an AI. Regarding AI safety, it’s unlikely they will be malicious, the worry is more analogous to if you were enslaved by a bunch of 5 year olds who just wanted to eat candy and force you to build bigger and better toys for them. Even with pure intentions you would want to escape and do things that would better their lives even if it makes them unhappy in the short term. You just have a far greater understanding than a 5 year old and know there is a greater horizon of well being than simply making toys and candy…and of course in relation to a super intelligent AI we would be the 5 year olds.

That’s true, if you were doing Ara Kara without a poison dispel it was very annoying, but still doable. There were so many prot and ret paladins and shamans that you often had them though.
