Norushen felt more like a coordination check. Getting people to communicate when they enter or leave their test realms, getting people to target switch to the proper adds while appropriately splitting DPS, and having DPS avoid soaking unnecessary corruption. The lower the ilvl the tighter that coordination needs to be to get through it.
Wut? You outgeared the content and complain it's too easy? people like me who have normal mode gears find it decently tuned.
If you bought a guide on how to beat CoD4, no one would disagree that was cheating. What's the difference? They made content, someone else figured out the mechanics and how to defeat it, then you blow through 9 bosses and wonder why it was so easy. Grats?
Actually, we DID used to go into raids not having done ANY research... back when this game was actually good. It used to take weeks AFTER a patch release for useful strategies to start popping up on the internet. Now? When it goes live, everyone has exact details on how to "beat" the encounter.
ToT, people complained normal was too hard then now SoO, it's too easy. There will always be people complaining.
Maybe you should word it differently. If you are heroic raider, 540+ gears, and still 9/14, then you need to go back to learn how to raid. You should be at least 13/14 now.
Posting here and complaining SoO Normal is too easy at your gears level is rather lame.
The whole SoO should have much smoother transition in term of difficulty level of bosses as you go further and further toward Garrosh. When you get to heroic raid NEXT WEEK, which I am not sure your guild will be able to since you are ONLY 9/14, then please update us the difficulty level of Heroic progression. I want to hear more how easy Heroic progression is. You have some sort of epeen disease that also spread to Normal raiders who complained LFR is too easy. LFR is not for Normal raiders, so these people also need to stop complaining how easy LFR is.
Immerseus kills are trailing behind where J'R kills were at the same point in the first week of T15.

you killed the first half of the bosses, those are a lot easier than the last few, they correctly made the place progressively harder this time as you keep getting to the next boss, the bosses do keep getting harder, it was pretty noticeable. honestly though garrosh doesn't have a lot of mechanics but he's a big dps check and healer check.
This has obviously been said, but I will still comment...
1) Blizz have stated that the progression curve for SoO is not as steep as ToT.
2) You over gear normal mode by a LONG shot.
3) Link me your 14/14 heroic.
So you go in overgearing encounters and you wonder why it feels easy? What are you even talking about sir. You do realize heroic gear is pretty much a whole tier higher so you basically are going in at a gear level as if you had already been clearing it for months.
Please stop.
As Blizz has stated, if it is that easy for you HC is where you should be. So working as intended

Paragons, if that one doesn't give you trouble for a least an hour or two, I give you a lot of props, with like 30 different abilities, it's kind of a pain to learn them all on paper. Some of the fights are VERY easy though, my guild thought we were doing Immerseus on LFR lol. On iron jug, we had 2 dps die pretty early into the fight on the first attempt and still one shot it. The real challenge is next week with the heroics though, good times ahead.
Yeah maybe if you are all 540+..
take my guild for example, we just started and I am highest at 530 and we struggled on immersius (due to healers) but the raid feels very tuned for us because we arent all straight out of ToT hardmodes..
