Favourite 5-man Dungeon (with Poll)

[Deleted]

hmm ok,

pre-tbc
Deadmines =), Scarlet Monastery(dno just love the place), Uldaman(nice looks/lore), Sunken Temple and Scholomance cuz of the creepieness and zulfarrak is nice as well, always been fun to run it on an alt =D and Maraudons looks are also rly cool
<3 pre-tbc instances cuz of the nostalgia ofc, lots of different cool themes, and because some of them are actually "long", dont like to rush through an instance ;/

BC- Magisters Terrace i guess

WotLK- pfffff Oculus, unique and at least "hard"(kinda=), and then i'll have to go for Draktharon and Gundrak because of the Trolls =)...guess that says enough...

Scholo, it was my hang-out at 60, each room is different, each boss is different, and I loved the look and feel of the place. I was disappointed they didn't have anything that felt like that in Northrend.

Old Kingdom, I enjoy all the bosses but the herold is the best. There is nothing better than listing to people on vent who have never done the fight before. All I explain is kill the adds during Insanity then you hear "Why are you attacking me? WTF! Get the hell off of me" Makes me laugh every time.

Black Morass, I remember doing this for the Kara attunment when BC first came out, everyone in greens and scattered blues and the challenge of it, so radically different than any other dungeon. Unlike Violet hold you couldn't just tank and aoe the adds(a pali with better gear could), it would be left in the hands of a dps, the time requirement was strict were we'd often have the next mob up before the last one was down. It was a damn fun and damn challenging dungeon for the right gear level.

this, i rly exspected to get some rly creepy places in wotlk with that unigue atmosphere like the plaguelands,strat and scholo but only naxx could come a lil close to that , but knowing that its a pre tbc revamp says enough...

Slabs.. because it was fun

[TheMediator]

Mechanar- The "Easy" Heroic in BC, yet harder than every other heroic in WOTLK. It had solid bosses, solid variety of trash, a good length, etc. Just all around what the "baseline" heroic should have been, not the shit we have now
Magister's Terrace - An awesome instance all around, anyone who has run it knows what I'm talking about
Culling of Stratholme - Interesting concepts for a dungeon, good lore, timed run is interesting, could use a BIT more variety in trash, but compared to all the other WOTLK instances it takes the cake. Perhaps not as good as some of the other BC instances gameplay wise, but it has a juicy lore feel to it.

[mynameisjona]

in no order
stratholme-that place is just awesome
wailing caverns-3 manning that with 2 19 shamans and a 19 druid was the most fun ive ever had in this game
MGT-KT's revenge ("Tempest Keep was merely a setback!") and the glimpse into sunwell (which i never did =[)

[Hypnotik]

Deadmines is just awesome!

[Aberration]

Cot: Hillsbrad!

[Dralai]

Deadmines: even able to 3man eveything here with alts around lvl 18-20 wasa epic night then

Scarlet monastery: just because its sm

Mgt: the fights, the music. of all instances this is my number 1

[Witchsong]

BRD: Well, something about this dungeon with hallways crawling around everywhere (and lots of bosses!) made me really enjoy the runs here. Also, I remember it as a 10-man dungeon from really way back.

SM: This instance was just epic, one of the instances I have enjoyed the most throughout the game. And I was so happy the day I got the Herod shoulders for my shaman.

Stratholme: This instance was awesome... So much lore (going all the way back to Warcraft III) and it also tied in with the Scarlet Crusade lore.

[Ferrior]

1. UBRS
2. Stratholme
3. Scarlet

SM was amazing the first time I stepped foot inside it. Same with Strat and UBRS, and UBRS will always be my favorite instance.

[Woony]

MGT: Great loot (just think of the trinket from the 3rd boss!), good, fun loot, but not that kind of freeloot we have today.
Cool atmosphere, good designed bosses, very challenging trash sometimes.

[emptyy]

UBRS was the best but only when it was 15man not that 10 man crap.

[LFW]

I would vote for:

Scholomance: Scourge mixture of napola and a devil school from Dracula (read the book before reading about scholo, srsly!)
Shadowfang Keep: Just has this... Touch... Have been there most of the time.
Magister's Terrace: <== avatar, like the dialogs

But I accidently clicked Strat instead of Scholo

[Graia]

i rly liked slabs. dont know why tho

[CowBoyTX]

Magisters Terrace (Heroric) Before it was nerfd.

Arcatraz (Heroric)

Oculus (Heroric)

I tend to like Herorics which prove a slight challenge for most groups at times. Like MGT I loved that, then it was nerfd and I was like 'Wwwwhhhyyyy?!?!?!?!!?!'

[Hexus]

Arcatraz an easy first, though I loathed the first boss.

Botanica and Underbog are tied, and not just because I could herb the enemies

Oculus an honorable mention, for its difficulty, atmosphere and imaginative mechanics.

[PBitt]

I picked Shattered Halls, though I enjoyed MagT just as much, but I figured there would be more votes for that one...and I was right. This was a challening instance for awhile, but not impossibly challenging (if you had the right group). Of course, the most fun for me was healing my prot palladion guildie on my shaman as he tanked 7 mobs (which was somewhat impressive back then) .

I do think the new ICC 5 mans will outdo any others however. At least, they will for me.

[Croc_Huntard]

Too many of the BC instances were ugly and boring. WotLK dungeons look MUCH better and are far more fun.


My favorite is Utgarde Keep, followed by Culling of Strathholme and Ahn'kahet. I jizzed in my pants when I went on my first run through at 71. So beautiful and not monotinous like every BC one

[DaLeetPawner]

MgT and Stratholme, loved those instances. Hope ICC 5 will be like that

[treston323]

ICC 5mans are the 3 most epic 5mans I've ever done. Tried it on my ptr and It's great
