I kind of think Sanctum has too much running/trash at times. I think the sweet spot is around 2-3 pulls of trash per boss to me. I have no objection to smaller raids. Unless you mean as an entirety.
Like instead of 8-9 bosses for a raid tier we got…3. That’d be a hard no from me dawg.
Now I don’t object to having say 3 raids with 3 bosses as a tier, that kind of thing sure. I kind of liked having wings/mini-raids. Can’t really recall if BfA had that, I kind of thought it had a short raid in there. But I stopped raiding after the first tier in BfA really.
Legion had the mini-raid with Helya.
One thing I don’t like about WoW is the big huge massive patch followed by 6 months until the next. I feel like a simple mini-raid/one boss raid added halfway in there would be nice simple content to smoothe things over cadence-wise.
