Oh geez I forgot about this thread.

Raid bosses will always be very similar so long as encounter design requires DPS to always be pumping 100%.
Back in naxx people actually fought bosses for more than 30 seconds DDDDDD , that warrior on patchwerk with 1500 dps or so was during atleast 3-4 mins fighting.People wouldnt be able to sustain 600 dps or so during 4 min now,if not less
Yah warcraftlogs has a 19 second Gehennas kill in the top 10. I mean...why even bring a healer?

Hmm, looking at private server speedkill, 9/15 naxx boss have been killed in a minute or less during a speedkill.
Paging the ones from the first pages claiming 1k dps to be absurdly inflated and to be the numbers produced in TBC.
Do we have a comment?

I wouldn't say that cuts it either, because looking through those old videos you'll be hardpressed to find anyone utilizing world buffs and the likes, and certainly not to the extent the private server players and a portion of the now classic playerbase does, for simple virtue of 2005 raiding being wipefests and buffs expiring on a wipe wa deemed meaningless waste of time collecting.
it's also important to keep in mind that being 32 buff slotted (maxed out on buffs) using all the wicked world buffs, consumables, hell as horde you can even be mind controlled by a priest in a group with 3 paladins and enjoy kings, might and salvation, you get the point. All this stacked ontop is 75% of your gear's worth of stats, potentially more. Fully buff slotted at least doubles your DPS, usually more than that, which indeed makes private server listings more accurate than old vanilla videos, even should armour values be off.
Keep in mind though that private servers intentionally erred on the side of overdoing it when it comes to balance and raids on *most* servers were indeed more difficult than the ones presented in classic, having done both I will attest to this, and a grand majority of people in the same boat seem to agree.
*edit* quoted the wrong guy.

i looked up this, so people in classic are already doing as much dps as was considred good in tbc?
