The numbers, however, definitely seem to be a bit much for the group I was in. When I ran later as DPS with a group of heroic-raiding folks, we ripped through the dungeon in literally half the time, and the tank and two of the DPS hadn't been there yet. Maybe it's because people can't handle the default UI, I don't know.<br /><br />CC in the boss fight was only marginally useful. For the first group I ran, it was basically required. For the groups I ran as DPS, we did it because we could, but we'd likely be able to not actually use CC and manage fine.<br /><br />I can't say I've done many 50 - 60 dungeons, so good to know it's a throwback.Talarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684944568000522986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2814591084344141656.post-7620175636222326462014-07-07T11:39:58.355-07:002014-07-07T11:39:58.355-07:00Dungeon difficulty is always tough at the beginnin...Dungeon difficulty is always tough at the beginning of an expansion, before everyone knows what to do and starts outgearing it. That said, I agree that as normal difficulty this seems a little overtuned for the average LFGer.<br /><br />Two things I'm glad to hear: that CC was actually useful in a boss fight, and that the Cataclysm healing model wasn't imported wholesale. I know the developers had said they'd learned their lessons from that, but independent confirmation certainly helps.<br /><br />Incidentally, that shield slam from UBRS trash has always been there. And it's just as hilarious at level 56 today. :)<br /><br />--TaanielAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
