Hardest Heroic Dungeon in Cataclysm

[Deleted]

Stonecore. Amazing how many people utterly fail at the first boss.

ToTT trash can be incredibly frustrating (not necessarily hard) with unreliable CC or interrupts. The bosses in there are very easy though.

Barely any HC is really hard imo (not being an elitist here tho), finding GB quite easy even in pugs. DM gave me some trouble when I had it the first time (being new there and just geared for resto) and had some probs with SFK first boss (first time there I healed like mad, second attempt i figured it out and we killed it).

Apart from that, as most people, Stonecore is pretty unforgiving in pugs when there's a bad tank (or guild tanks being shit for that matter). So just for that reason (Ozruk) i vote Stonecore, due to bad tanks i've seen

Why people vote massively for Grim Batol I don't understand. I've done it quite a few times on my druid and shammy and almost always cleared it. Even with 1 set of eggs hatched.

GB still poses threats in guild runs. Have to be on you game for every boss. Not a lot of room for error in that hellhole.

[Waynhim]

Totally depends on set-up. For instance I've done multiple SFK runs on both my main HPriest and alt enh shaman. Having a shaman trivializes first and last boss in there, while doing it with crap interrupt classes and no decurser is a pain.

Maybe I've just had different experiences than you guys, but I've found BRC to be the hardest. The first boss was brutal back when we didn't have raid gear, as was the third. The second can still wipe you if someone messes the beams up. Beauty wasn't as hard, but it was pretty crazy.
I didn't have much issue with GB and Stonecore.

Throngus in Grim Batol breaks PuGs

Odd...its usually the 3rd here...
OT: Grim batol...

[Deflct]

Yeah I'm going with the poll I'd say Grim Batol (Only with bad people) but mostly there easy with geared people now a days.

never had problems with grim but hate stonecore -_-

several times died on the first trash.

with guildgroup none should be a problem

[Ins0mnia]

The StoneCore or GrimBatol....

But then again, anything can sound impossible if you are with a group that has pants over their heads.

Stonecore, Grim Batol and Deadmines, talking about the state they shipped in, without the nerfs. Rest are quite easy. SFK 3rd boss is probably the hardest boss though, next to Ozruk

[Cyphran]

I would say Stonecore, it isn't really hard but if you make any mistakes on ozruck as a tank, you're dead.

The mechanics are stupidly simple tho... I died the first time I learnt to tank him (sidestepping the blast >>> stepping through him)... I honestly cant remember the last time he killed me.


Hardest heroic... truth tell, Thromgus as a tank isn't hard... and the rest of GB are pretty simple mechanics wise. I suppose it's the most difficult... but that's really not saying much.

The boat bosses aren't exactly easy and actually require a certain amount of dps or your screwed.

With the right gear all Heroics are facerolls now.

But before deadmines was hard.

Agree with deadmines needing dps on the boat,
grim batol is still harder.

[Brosemon]

On my heals, ive found SC fairly easy, if ppl dont suck and everything, but ive done H GB once!!! dont plan on going back in there, every1 knew fights, but was still hell

^ pretty much all those

Vortex Pinnacle, it's just so damn hard like the mechanics like omg, the first boss is a nightmare.

Throne of the Tides is also incredibly difficult, you need really good interrupts.

Joking aside, the most insane heroic boss if you don't have interrupts is the first boss in H SFK.

Also, how many groups actually fight the 3rd boss in H SFK? Commander Springvale. He is easily the most skipped boss in Cataclysm heroics because he destroys your group if you don't have a near perfect composition.

For the above two reasons, I vote H SFK.

[Mixon]

Was gonna pick Blackwing Decent but i couldn't find it up there, but its by far the hardest, Bastion of Twilight is pretty bad on heroic also but not as bad as Blackwing IMO.

but neither of them were up there so i picked Stonecore since its meh, not enough ppl know the fights. and why all the Grim Batol hate, that place is seriously a joke.

[soulinger]

First boss in Throne of Tides, really hard to find a group that can manage to CC casters during phase2, so usually have the casters and the big
guy up the whole time, with funnels flying around, yea fun times

[CR77]

Stonecore...even with a full guild group havent made it past first boss in heroic...kinda sad only H i have left for achievement.

[Tikiya]

SFK if in a pug because people are retarded and don't know what a kick is.
Tol'vir for the achievements.

I don't understand why people thinks Grim Batol is hard O.o Explanation please, what is so hard?

[xiza]

Tol'vir for the achievements.

headed south obviously, we had to do it after blizzard fixed siamats shield X_x
was a pain in the ass, really. but we've managed that 4/5 people got the achievement.
