Favorite Wrath/TBC Raid

[ElfinHilon10]

So with Cataclysm coming out in roughly a month from now, I'm rather curious to know everyones favorite raid and why.

Honestly, my favorite raid is either Karazhan or Black Temple (both BC I know) mainly cause Karazhan was the first raid I ever did when I started playing, and Black Temple because I love the lore behind it (and the cinematic to it, that was hella legit) and behind Illidan.

So yeah, I wanna know your favorite raid!

I was absolutely in love with Mount Hyjal back in the Burning Crusade. As a Protection Paladin, it was a place where I really got to shine, not to mention how I love the lore about the battle, and the Archimonde fight was amazing.


For Wrath, Icecrown Citadel was my favourite, with Ulduar coming in at a close second. I absolutely love most of the fight mechanics in Icecrown(Plagueworks, Blood Council, Sindragosa, Lich King, Marrowgar). While the buff may have made the normal modes a bit too easy, I still find them fun to do for the mechanics(even if they may not be that challenged at this point).
Not to mention I was very excited to finally see Arthas' lore end.

I like ToC.....

Im really happy for wrath, and ima let it finish, but karazhan was the best raid of ALL TIME!

Ulduar always wins these threads. Though I expect Karazhan to be a competitor, both were excellently built raids both aesthetically and encounter-wise.

Oh but i've liked numerous raids through the time.. My favorites are Karazhan and Ulduar. but here's a list:

Karazhan - The first place i raided, which i was so very proud of, back then. Got a few good, international friends together and started raiding in there, with me as off-tank (even more proud!). I liked the scene and atmosphere of the place, sending me back to Edgar Allan Poe-poems, Phantom of the Opera and Beauty and the Beast, just with the feel of the place.

Zul'aman - My second raid. This one i liked, because well.. Everybody likes trolls! And I like lore even more, so going through this place just tickled my lore-organ! It was a fun, well-designed and epic-feeling place, especially back with the timed event.

Ulduar - My first raid in Wotlk and my first raid with my new group, Sworn. I loved it! First 25-man and it was so much better than i had expected. The beginning really felt epic, rolling down the platform and onto the field, bombarding anything that moved! And getting inside, then, wauw! It was beautiful! Really, I really got the feeling i had stepped into the hall of Titans. The diffirent bosses worked extremely well and Yogg-Saron as the last boss, was really an extreme, challenging and awesome encounter!

Won't keep filling you with talk now. ToC and ICC also had their beauty, and ICC is really an awesome place, no doubt about it. I just mentioned my favorites.. :P

Karazhan 4 life yo, started playing 2 weeks before TBC, hit 70 like 1 week into BC, got some help from friends already playing with the leveling.. knew nothing about the game, joined a guild and healed in green / blue gear as a paladin.. thoose were the times <Looking back> ahhh.. <warm feeling>

[Hawthorne]

Icecrown, even though its been way over played.

[Slagge]

Friday nights Karazhan beets all.

[Draqson]

Black Temple
the bosses were the best in game, in my opinion...

Ha no shit. That's the EXACT same story as me, except I was a Resto Shaman instead of a paladin. Karazhan was so much fun. I REALLY hope they make the lower half in Cataclysm. It would be SOOOOO EPIC!!!

[Fenixionn]

ulduar and ulduar alone, yeh kara is cool, i did it as my first and only tbc raid, but dayun ulduar was just gorgeous,

[Dalacia]

Karazhan and Ulduar will always be my favorite TBC and Wrath raids.

[Spectrez]

Karazhan, that is where I got my first epic on my huntard. Good memories.

[tankytanktank123]

obvious that kara and ulduar would lead. this poll is not new and exciting...voted Kara and Ulduar.

[Earthfury]

Karazhan and Ulduar will always be my favorite TBC and Wrath raids.

Exactly the same here. Although uld outweighs kara for me due to the bosses in uld are more appealing to me. Kara has more of a "epic" feel for the scenery though.

[Tigercat]

Missing a few choices.

I enjoyed SSC and TK(both pre-lolnerf,) personally.

[RayluuDM]

"Drunken Karazahn" raids will always have a special spot in my heart and memory.

Grab 10 alt's and get completely smashed (in game for Minors, and IRL for adults), then do a quick run of Karazahn.

For Wrath, I would say ICC, just becasue It meant A LOT to me, since I am a big Arthas/Lordaeron/Scarlet Monastary/Uther/Tirion/Ashbringer lore fan, so, Killing Arthas meant a lot to me.

I wasn't asking for new and exciting. I asked because I wanted to know what people thought.
