0. Less trash in heroics 01/18/2008 11:39:22 AM PST
Did heroic sh last night and we must have killed over 200 mobs. It took forever even with a good tank and very few deaths.
Would less mobs be a better option and maybe balance it out with tougher boss fights? Not all instances need it but some really do (i.e. sh, crypts, bot, etc.)
Heroics are maybe harder than Kara but give less badges. Is all I am asking for is less trash mobs.

Q u o t e:
You're complaining that heroic trash is too challenging?
PROTIPS TO RUN FAST HEROICS
Don't stop and drink, just use your mana intelligently
Get a good tank
Mark using macros, and preferably have the tank just grab everything, use no CC
I would not say the trash is too challenging, just that there is way too much of it.

"Trash" mobs do serve a purpose in dungeons though and while they may not be your favorite part of the dungeon, we try and keep a good balance of it versus the rewards of the particular dungeon.
Shattered Halls may have a fair amount of trash, but I believe it can drop up to five badges of justice which is the most you can get from a heroic dungeon so it makes sense for it to be a challenge to get through.

Q u o t e: The trash is the hard part - take it out and it's not really a heroic anymore.
Yeah before several of the nerfs came through it was always somewhat disorienting to go through trash that had been beefed up to retarded levels and then hit a boss that felt like it wasn't on heroic.

What about trash in raid instances? You cannot tell me that 30-45 minutes of trash in between each boss is reasonable. You also have to consider all the re-clears if you wipe and the trash has re-spawned.
Remove like 50% of the trash from places like SSC/TK imo. You guys had BWL, Mag, Ony and Gruuls trash down perfect.
