People really thought stuff in heroics was hard. Made tactics, share their comps. So weird, it’s all so easy and trivial without any knowledge really, just burst stuff down and hopefully no one dies
3.0 Talents/Builds balancing VS 3.4 Talents/Builds balancing. Yes, there were some wipes at the start of Wrath Heroics, but they became super easy once people started getting gear where right now we’re using super late buffs/nerfs to classes that its faceroll.

DKs were even stronger on release

Makes me wonder if I’ve overprepared for raids opening…Only sources I can find on what sort of stats to aim for are from back then
Correct, but not everyone ran with DKs 24/7. There were so many of them that it was commonplace on my server, Malfurion, to see “No DKs/Full on DKs” for heroics at the start.
People have been playing 3.3.5 Wrath private servers for a decade with tons of bis lists, tactics, talents and stats. This information is readily available
Cool, so that means you have a source yourself, right?
Warmane Forums pal
you have to remember, the players back then werent raised on mmos and didnt have 20 years experience gaming in wow when wrath dropped.
Took a look, couldn’t find anything discussing what stats I should aim for as a tank going into Naxx
wowhead has fresh guides, why look beyond.

That’s usually where I go to first, but the dk tank guide doesn’t really say what I should be aiming for. It has a bis list but as far as actual stats it doesn’t say a whole lot, at least not where I’d expect it to. Like, how much health should I aim for? armor? 540 defense rating is about the only real answer I can find to avoid being crit
I remember WOTLK being super easy coming out of TBC in general. I don’t think their was difficulty in general til Ulduar
No we didn’t. Anyone who posted strategy videos probably wanted attention for some reason.
It was never hard but coordinating people who had never raided and just couldn’t process the concept of raiding was really really annoying. People are more used to it now
All for a game you’re not even on.
Players were just bad back then. I certainly was.
We thought it was hard because we were stupid and bad back then
You need to remember that much of the content got nerfed from launch to final patch. The content was still not that hard, but some of the abilities that would have originally hurt, hit like a wet noodle.
As an example: hakkar rip off in Drek keep does a laser beam at end of skeleton phase that I vaguely recall doing a boat load of damage, so they had to time bone shield.
I am not even 100% sure it does damage in heroic at the moment.
