2 Minutes Hate

I can only speak for myself, but I hated it for much different reasons.They DID do this! The Coliseum in WoTLK, and look how well that turned out for them? The most hated raid zone of the entire xpac and the one thing that nobody talks about, or even remembers when we talk about how good Wrath was. It's always Ulduar -> ???? -> ICC. Now, think about it for awhile, I mean, really think about it, and then tell me why the player base didn't like it. There's no trash! there's no hallways! there's nothing but boss fight after boss fight and loot chests at the end of it.
Pretty much every time Blizzard takes you out of your character and puts you in a vehicle sucks. Questing it's not so bad, but in group play it's awful.I hated the jousting part too. That shit sucked
Yeah same here, we had a shaman healer that if she ever got hit with the vehicle it was an automatic wipe.Yeah I can't think of another one besides the Klaxxi boss either. I guess I just really hated it (I raided with a lot of bad players that tier).
People cry and cry about TOC, but that was one of the best patches warcraft put out iirc. Adding in a way to quickly catch up by grinding dungeons (because it added the dungeon finder) was awesome, especially since WOTLK dungeons were actually fun. TOC's fights were decent enough. Raid trash is fucking boring. Almost every raid would be better with just boss fights, especially now that every other god damn fight is a 20 minute slog and 2 minutes of actual hard content.I can only speak for myself, but I hated it for much different reasons.
1) Story. We go from literally stopping the Titans from destroying all life on the planet, to "Let's go to the Ren Fair and play shitty games!" Garrosh and Wrynn even got sucked into the bullshit and started quarreling about whose arena team was better, when they BOTH should have said "You guys have fun I'm gonna go fight the Lich King." And I think the only reason they brought back Anub'arak was because players complained he was too important a character to be a 5-man boss.
2) Lack of diversity in setting. Again, we went from Ulduar, one of the most massive and visually impressive dungeons in the game to date, to a single room with a fucking swinging saloon door that lets all the bosses in, plus a VERY conveniently placed cave.
3) Too many difficulties and an overly complicated loot token system.
You're a monk so...you can still pretty much just hit Guard on cd and win.I have been a tanking class in this game since DKs released. Since MoP I have been playing a BM monk exclusively why leveling up all my other tanking alts..
I maxed leveled my BM when WoD released did a little bit of the first raid tier but my guild fell apart and I kinda took a step back. Wantting to check it out again but my stomach begins to hurt thinking about checking out this xpac as a tank that is basically a fresh lvl 100 with no exp on the current raids..
Any tips on getting back into this game if I wanted to check it out again?
I play a warrior, so I'm used to not getting healed until I am sub 30% anyway. Sure, my damage smoothing is awesome...but 90% of my deaths are slow motion.The worst thing about Guard is that healers forget they will actually have to heal you while it's not up.
Run LFR. LFR is basically intro with all the punishing mechanic disabled, notably the 2-tanks requirements. All bosses are a bit better with two tanks, but all the mechanics that require swapping and the like are disabled/survivable. After a couple runs, you'll have a better idea on how the raids are structured, and then you can go into normal/heroic modes.checking out this xpac as a tank that is basically a fresh lvl 100 with no exp on the current raids..
I prefer it to slogging through WoD trash yes. Shit is awful and a giant waste of everyone's time.I just want to confirm: You are saying on record that you prefer TOC (one room, no trash, only bosses) to Ulduar and ICC (huge dungeons, multiple wings, varying amounts of trash).
I think there is some happy medium to be had. But I much prefer the tournament over something like frigging molten core. I think the best designs are like ice crown where enough wings so you can bang out chunks at a time and if you are having problems with one thing you can aim at something else. Enough trash so that its not just an empty shell but not so much that it feels like you are spending your evening doing nothing but janitorial work.I prefer it to slogging through WoD trash yes. Shit is awful and a giant waste of everyone's time.
