The first fight in the heroic 5 man is a bit of a crap shoot depending on who you get. Warrior/rogue/hunter, for example, was a bit of a nightmare because between the poison, the hunter needing something to distract them and the mobility of the warrior but shaman/rogue/mage we just burned down.

Yes, I don’t see a lot of longevity in this patch at all. (It doesn’t bode well that I thought the first 25 man encounter was dull.)

Still, as a first impression, it was fun and quick. I won’t dread running it again, which is always good.

Do you see yourself getting bored with the 5 man really quick despite the nice stuff? I do.

The nice thing about the tanking trinket is that it drops in normal mode (so lots and lots of tanks will want to run the normal mode). As a new 80, I’d recommend starting with normal instances in general if you can — just get some practice in and some confidence. Heroics aren’t that much harder but you’ll feel better for having learned them on normal mode.

I need to try the new stuff. I’m a fresh 80 Priest with 80% 187 level gear so I can’t do the heroic mode yet.
