    Raid difficulty?

    How would you rate the current Cata raids in order of difficulty, from least difficult to most difficult? 2 seperate lists please for normal and heroic mode.

    Thanks

    all of normal is way too easy.

    Heroic, I'd probably say Magmaw easiest(from my experience) and Sinestra hardest(Not reached her yet but she is the toughest one by far)

    i mean the raid names themselves, not the bosses.

    Isn't Halfus easier than Magmaw, and Twilight Council harder than Sinestra? o.O

    That might just be our guild though, with the Halfus. We can kill him with mostly alts but have issues still on Magmaw(I blame our tank who bathes in fires, we do kill it tho).

    Each individual encounter is different.

    As for the OP's question, as a whole I'd say ToFW -> BoT -> BWD in terms of difficulty on normal(Easiest to hardest.)
    On heroic it really goes boss by boss. Can't really say one full raid is harder than the others, due to the fact that the bosses vary.

    Thank you very much! Do they all drop equal amounts of good loot?

    You trade them with your current tier and get heroic tier, much like ICC gear.

    And yes, the old raid quests are still in Dalaran, but there are none for BWD/BoT/TofW

    You used to do them for Wrath raids, hence the raid quests are to kill Wrath raid bosses.

    Edit: the tokens are where you'd normally trade your tokens in.

    At the Valor quartermaster, in Stormwind/Orgrimmar.

    And no, they give Justice points and it would be a much slower way of obtaining them than running heroics (if you want JP anyway, not even Valor).

    all right thanks

    Twilight Council is actually somewhat harder than Sinestra. Sinestra has some grueling mechanics (especially for healers), but when you get the encounter under your skin, it is easy to execute. Twilight Council on the other hand has higher margin for failure because of the frost orbs and chainlightning.
