I just found you and your vids mate! After progressing through TBC classic, and gearing 3 characters in 5 specs total, looking at loot tables, difficulty, fun and atmosphere here is my list: SSC/TK (most challenging phase, most guilds couldn't clear prenerf, some even after LOL), Karazhan (at moroes when he said Where was I? everyone was repeating it on discord, we had a blast clearing it 3 times a week), BT/GRUUL(Warglaives, skull of gul'daan and DST are super high value), SWP(My Thori'dal went to a hunter who stopped playing 3 days into WOTLK, still mad about it :( ), ZA (great catch up raid, made so much gold from selling bears KEK), Mags (hardest P1 fight, but you didn't really return for much, except for attunes or tokens on alt), Hyjal (the sheer amount of people afking on trash, then we wipe and go again, I still have nightmares from that)
Our order of ranking is nearly the same, I like Hyjal a bit more than Gruul's-Mag's Lairs but agree with your criticisms too. Kara is definitely my favorite period, but so was all of BC generally.
Hjyal's bosses were pretty good, the issue is that they took some preparation and organization and you were punished for wiping (Having to redo waves again before you get another chance) pretty severely.
All though the final boss in TK does hold a permanent memory in my brain, IMO kara, ZA, BT, and Sumwell are some of the best raids ever in the history of WoW.
Understandable tbh its hit or miss for most people and sadly I was more miss then hit but its also one of those raids that I don't "want" to hate like I can see so much potential in it but sadly Tier 6 clearly spread Blizzard a little bit too thin
In terms of difficulty ( respectively to the gear at that point ) TK and SSC were dungeons for maniacs. Timings on Morogrim, incoming dmg on vashj, dps required for Kael... it was all insane. BT and Sunwell had some dps checks ( brutallus LOL ) but all in all their mechanics and inc dmg was more fair. Hyjal is truely hit or miss. While it really gave you the feeling of a story mission in WC3TFT it was a concept that just didnt work as a raid instance for me. The riding, the waiting times between waves if you were good enough, it was just annoying for me to be hindered by the mechanics themselves. But i can see what people either love or hate this raid. Edit: the SSC music ( subnautica ) gave me goosebumps. Guess im getting back in the game after work today !
It was a great time for WoW. It was brutal at times and required dedication to progress. Of course not all people got to enjoy all the content, but I honestly preferred it that way. When the whole server was partying in Shattrath after another guild finally beat a certain boss or dungeon, there is just nothing like it. The lore was epic, the flying mounts, the storylines...

Kt wasn't shit pre nerf vashj tho just always mcing our Chad coh priest and healing for so much just sucked so bad

Loved the video. I’m excited to see if they actually do TBC Classic.
And they did, yay!!
@Maximiliano Mauricio Wow shit works!
I'm so happy they did and you were right on the money! Thanks for the compliment!
This is a really good and interesting video, im so surprised it only has 4k views! good job on this one
Tyvm! Happy to have your compliment! :D
Loved the ff6 music in the background. My 2 fav series
Of course! Couldn't help myself ;)
Kara obviously #1 but SSC definitely holds #2 spot for me.
Honestly this is a solid opinion imo! SSC has an atmosphere that most raids can't match!
I lived through bc on it's release. Was one of the most awesome periods of gaming for me. Sunwell was insane
My biggest regret was I never got the warbear mount from za
Even tried on the last day it was available. My guild failed. I was distraught.

They were the highest rated on my list... I'm confused lol
man, i enjoyed the caverns of time. Maybe cause I was loning for that old wc feel
This is one of the few excuses I can give Hyjal tbh... it does bring back that Warcraft 3 feeling... just wish it did it even more than it did :(
Nice phoenix 😏 lmao. Good video babe. I know you worked hard on it. Good job! :)
Tyvm! :)
I used to love Hyjal summit, i was surprised to see it last in the list
Understandable tbh its hit or miss for most people and sadly I was more miss then hit but its also one of those raids that I don't "want" to hate like I can see so much potential in it but sadly Tier 6 clearly spread Blizzard a little bit too thin
That 1 dislike is probably someone jealous of your voice.
You think so haha? I tend to have 1 or 2 people that dislike the minute I put a video out so oh well!
