After watching many videos on the new Dungeon content coming with Cataclysm I'm really quite curious to see what other people think on the matter of current and future dungeon difficulty. The question that seems to remain on my mind the most, is if blizzard will make the heroics in Cataclysm actually challenging? or will they nerf them to the point of face rolling (like they are now)
Personally I find heroics one of the most dull parts of gearing a level 80 character. Currently in Wotlk if you intend to pve the only choice you have to is mindlessly grind heroics. I like the idea of Heroics being stepping stones to raids, I do not however like the fact that 95% of them are mind numbingly easy.
In general before Wotlk I enjoyed heroic dungeons. Most of them required you to at least not completely suck. To me they were there for three important reasons.
Gearing for early raiding content.
(When I say early raids I mean kara, SSC, not BT and Sunwell. In other words not like now where you heroic until you can hit up ICC or Ruby sanctum.)
Learning your roll and what is generally expected of you.
(Your dps rotation, How to cc, ect.)
Learning the does and don'ts of pve in general.
(Let the tank pull, watch your threat, ect.)
A lot of you at this point are going to be thinking one thing, THIS GUYS A ELITIST LOL FUCK HIM. I'm not, I just like the idea of a game where you have to rise to it instead of it sinking to you.
Well enough of what I think, what do you think of current dungeons? To easy? To hard? Just right?
