retail classes can be very simple (bm hunter or frost dk) to absurdly complex. its extremely spec specific. i dont think the raids in retail/war within are difficult but the average player is playing so suboptimally that it ends up balancing out, since you need the dps or people to survive mechanics. there was a max geared ele shaman (i guess he got his gear from mythic+?) in our heroic manaforge raid who would always die or finish the boss fight with less dps than either tank, and he wasn’t the only bad dps lol. i really didnt want to do mythic raiding with this guild and those people so i dropped out of that.
anyways i did NOT enjoy mists of pandaria classic because the normal raids were so fucking frustrating. i have no nostalgia for MOP since i never played it but oh my god that was such a waste of my time to get my reputations up, do the raids and fail constantly until we get a lucky break, and this was with a solid team. we ended up dropping mop classic entirely lol











its really funny to go from sea creature -> land animal -> back to sea :)
