    The new ocu?

    what do you experience with the new hcs , since I often get SFK , and I always have one or two leaving when it pops , I myself hate DM and Halls of Origination (not that much this since you can skip bosses if ppl are up for it)

    what do you think is the new oculus , HoS etc?

    ye ye I fixed my spellings, /palm

    2nd to last boss in Lost City made that instance a pain everytime I got it.

    I assume you mean Halls of Origination rather than Reflection.

    Seems to be Stonecore in my experience. I haven't done a lot of randoms, mostly been doing random achievements and archaeology, but my guild hates it and avoids it like the plague. SFK and Deadmines do seem to be close contenders, though its more specific bosses than the thing in total.

    It's halls of origination.

    Personally I love all the HCs, but there are some I dread when they come up simply because most players suck too much to complete them. Grim batol is one, it's obviously the hardest HC in the game and needs DPS to be on top of the game. It's a really fun HC with guildies though. Deadmines is similar, the bosses are generally fun but horrible dps fails them. It's probably my least favorite HC though, even with a guild group it takes too long to finish, lots of trash. Stonecore is another HC which is fun but ruined by bad players.

    As I often run with guild groups,I really don't have a problem with any of the instances, in fact, I much prefer when we do happen to get a difficult one, like Grim Batol.

    In PuGs I haven't had problems with people leaving either as soon as any instance pops up, though I've certainly had some difficulties with Shadowfang Keep if the group setup doesn't include enough interrupts for the first boss.

    You only need 2 interrupts for that boss though (Ashbury), and soon, with the removal of "Mend Rotten Flesh", it will only require 1.
    All tanks (Bar pallies, until next patch) have an interrupt. Most DPS do also, i'm sure all melee do.
    Pain and Suffering can simply be dispelled by the healer.

    HoO, definitely, 'cause it's fun and easy if folks give it a chance, just like Oculus :3

    Stonecore seems to be a lot of instant leave but still nothing can get as bad as Occu so no need to compare them.

    on my warlock - Deadmines , Its just so damn looong!
    on my resto shammy Stonecore , i just cant seem to get the hang of healing on Ozrok .. have really only tried it once but it didnt go well
    on my prot pally - nothing really ... pala´s rock.

    I actually find Halls of Origin pretty fun ... even if we do all bosses

    If ocu = Oculus then no, there's no new Oculus.

    Oculus was best WotLK heroic, 8 packs of thrash in whole dungeon!
    You get 6 badges in less than 15 minutes, even VH was longer.

    Vortex Pinnacle probably, relative short and easy.
    Why you think the Net was born? Porn! Porn! Porn!

    Every heroics is easy. 90% of my pugs succeed. Me being the healer.

    There really isn't a whole lot of trash, but I do agree, it takes too long.

    Personally, my Occulus is Throne of the Tides, ENTIRELY because of the trash leading up to Erunak.

    Guild runs are a blissful joy, pugs are a nightmarish abomination!

    Personally, I'm sick of Grim Batol.

    I only was in like 4 or 5 heroics overall (not enough time and/or patience) but that always happened to be Tol'Vir and DM. Both are pretty easy, only at the High Prophet Barim fight it is still pretty easy to mess something up (and all roles can mess up at this fight) and cause a wipe.
