Throne of the Tides is easier than WOTLK instances.
|
Was just doing some WOTLK(heroic) instances, as well as some TBC(heroic) instances, and came to notice upon clearing TOTT that it, Throne of the Tides, is generally much easier to solo.
Not only is the first boss solo-able by several DPS classes, the last boss is even easier to solo than the first is. Oh, and doing all of this as a tank, that's even easier. |

It is, but due to the fact that death knights can use 2*interrupts and use ams against spelldamage. But since I've soloed many things, I do not think cataclysm heroics are that easy. Stonecore trash hits like a truck before the worm and Grimbatol last boss can go quite f-ed if I dont slow the addes with double chains and let my dancing-sword do killing :P In general i think Täll is trolling a bit. |

Which is what made it fundamentally harder than the rest. Poor co-ordination wasn't a problem until that dungeon, countless wipes and to save time people would just glitch past the last phase just to save the hassle. Not only that but if you didn't LoS the mobs in the corner so the tank could pick them up easily gg you died.
Not to mention i cried every time i got a druid/warrior tank. |

*laughs* Why ? The one time I accidentally queued there as healer moonkin (with my double owl spec :P) I had feral as tank, and I think it went quite alright. But my demand always was - with any healer I went or tank I tanked, that we are in middle...
But now that was something most PUGs didn't grasp :D "why in middle" .... eventually i stopped explaining that if you are somewhere in close space we all take damage instead one guy who cannot move ... On my paladin i was in corner, on my dk I was in middle and warrior specced arms. :P Now you made me all nostalgic and I do agree it was one of the challenging ones. Like Zul'aman now ... even with 378 gear people manage to die and fail. Otherhand ZA is a TBC release not cataclysm product. |

Because they'd always be like, 'guys i got this stack up on me' *loses aggro due to no rage* group wipes.
When i hit the required ilvl on this to get into HoR it must've taken weeks before i was able to actually complete the dungeon. It's possibly the hardest dungeon i've ever done and i want blizzard to make more dungeons ridiculously stupid like it because the feeling of doing it after the few weeks it took was awesome. Edit: Back that my rogue was an alt, on my main i had the misfortune of healing that place. Now my rogues my main ;p |

I don't know what "trolling" means so I guess that answers your question. Throne Of The Tides is generally a really easy instance, whereas the heroic version is "do-able" thus easier than some WOTLK ones. |

Not at all; Halls of Lightning was pretty hard (back then), while the heroic version was even harder. Of course, ever since the release of Cataclysm, HoL has been almost too easy on normal, whereas a bit challenging on heroic -- that is, for a tank at least. I'm sure I speak for all when I say that -any- DPS would find it difficult on heroic. |

I remember having healed Heroic VH with an Elemental Shaman. Generally: Cataclysm Heroic instances are relatively harder than WotLK Heroics. But MoP Heroics will probably be as hard or as easy (however you experienced WotLK Heroics in the past) as WotLK Heroics. |

If you want to talk about hard
Trials of the Naru - Arcatraz HC - Pre Nerf |

Oh the good ol' days!
I still remember during TBC , when I played on a tauren warrior tank...makes me fuzzy inside! I guess I'll never forget how the felguards in the blood furnace(hellfire dungeon) hc , were hitting me harder than the mobs and even some bosses in ZA(after nerf ;) ).One second I'm all jolly and stuff , next second I'm almost 2-hit Oo |

Shattered halls hc before 3.0 and badgegearpatch with only a rogue and a hunter for cc. Doing timed with a warrior tank. Yes it was very enjoyable to trap one and kite three mobs.
We used to do hc Arcatraz when in t6 for fun. HC MgT without any cc besides my hunter. Nothing has come close to the enjoyable difficulty levels since then. Only expetion being HoR first two bosses without huddling in the corner and just having our warrior go bonkers with charge/pummel/disarm to round the mobs up. Nowadays you just get a corridor full of trash with a loot pinata in the end. |

Agree fully with whats written here with all till now, and yes me tank in tbc they hit pretty hard. To WOTLK wtf is this easy crap, new cata heroics pretty failleble i like it.. > nerfs...... sad panda.

Not at all; Halls of Lightning was pretty hard (back then), while the heroic version was even harder. Halls of Lightning was nothing compared to Halls of Reflection lol |
