Your fav dungeon per expansion

Eh just bored and felt like making a thread. If you had to pick a fav dungeon per expansion, what would it be?

And just to add a little wiggle room to the topic. Technically you’re picking 2 dungeons. One based off just the general vibe / aesthetic, and one based on the actual fights / gameplay / mythic whatever part of it.

I’m not a fan of dungeons, I’m a world content sort of guy.

But I liked the Vault of the Wardens in Legion because thinking of all Demon Hunters in jail makes me happy :smiley:

Classic- Blackrock Depths
BC- Shadow Lab
Wrath- Oculus
Cata- SFK
MoP- Brewery
WoD- Iron Docks
Legion- Arcway
BfA- Siege of Boralus
Shadowlands-Theater
DF- Azure Vault

Not a huge fan of SL and DF dungeons. I really like Azure Vault though

I have seen them IRL, they are very gnome and nerd. <3

-still thinking on the OPs question-

Legion - The one in Suramar where you have to find the demon. I love things that require thinking and not just brute force.

Court of Stars. Ask questions, get clues, find impostor. It’s a nice change of pace.

Mine are based on vibes, because most of the time I can love a dungeon despite hating the mechanics if the vibe is right (as is the case with my WotLK favorite):

  • Vanilla: Old scholo seems amazing, wish we had a way to queue to run it for leveling purposes + Stratholme
  • BC: Old Hillsbrad Foothills
  • WotLK: Culling of Stratholme, which is also my all-time favorite dungeon despite hating ‘waves’ styled dungeons in general
  • Cata: The Stonecore + The Vortex Pinnacle
  • MoP: Stormstout Brewery
  • WoD: Shadowmoon Burial Grounds
  • Legion: Return to Karazhan (my second favorite dungeon out of all expansions)
  • BfA: Waycrest Manor
  • SL: Plaguefall + The Necrotic Wake
  • DF: Dawn of the Infinite (the only dungeon I like out of DF’s dungeons, and would count it in my top 5 favorite dungeons)

For WoD and BfA I actually disliked all of the dungeons, but still selected the one I disliked least out of the bunch. I do not go out of my way to run any of these dungeons. I also don’t like any of DF’s dungeons outside of the infinites, to such a degree that I will wait for TW to level an alt to 70.

Vanilla-Sunken temple
Tbc-Steam vaults
Wrath-Halls of reflection
Cata-Halls of origination
Mop-Siege of Niuzao Temple
Wod-Skyreach
Legion-The arcway
Bfa-Waycrest
Sl-De other side
DF-Dawn of the infinite

Pretty much all vibes.

idk but for classic its def scholo and SM

def not because they have hot bosses

Vanilla - Blackrock Depths
BC - Steamvaults
Wrath - Pit of Saron
Cata - Well of Eternity
Pandaria - Scarlet Monastery (Cathedral / Graveyard combo)
WOD: UBRS revamp
Legion: Vault of the Wardens (because my friends HATED it)
BFA: Siege of Boralus
Shadowlands: Tazavesh
Dragonflight: Azure Vaults (my tank friend currently hates this dungeon because I keep dragging him through in hopes of a trinket)

TWW: whatever dungeon involves escorting a candle. I’m sure my friends will hate that, so it’s automatically my favorite.
