Oh, also, just to show how ridiculous things are in old content, I, a simple Shadow Priest, survived the Fury of Frostmourne.
It was quite amusing.
Well to be fair, the boss HP increase wasn't that much in BC, I mean, Kil'jaeden only had around 7 million hp was it?
Arthas got 55 million on ten man.
Yeah Lich king got a huge HP spike when Ulduar rolled around and the Boss health counts skyrocketed ever since.

Heroic 25 man Lich King was the first boss to reach 1 million health.
Ah never mind, it was 100 million health.

That can't be right. BWL bosses had 1 million health.

I love being able to solo BT now. Will try HLK next.

Dragon Soul can be soloed, except for Spine.

Heroic, or normal?

Normal. I didn't try Heroic. For Spine, you need two players because of Fiery Grip. It's also really hard to heal through the damage of the monstrosities at high stacks.

Mmm. Well, thankfully I already got everything I wanted out of the Dragon Soul. Maybe I could do Ultraxion for chances at the mount, I guess. My interest is more on H LK.
If normal dragon soul can be completed though maybe H LK can?

No longer a forum herald
I'd like to pop in from lurking to point out that people have been soloing Spine for nearly two years now. (Below is world first video, uploaded in December 2012.)
Just ran some dungeons, and the hardest ones from yesterday are now perfectly doable, to the point where I almost felt like they didn't need my heals.
That is when you go Disc or Dream of Cenarius and just dps while healing.

@Azsur: How would you solo LK with the mobs that carry you off the edge? Can you kill them before they do it?

Don't most grab/stun/etc mechanics ignore the main tank? And considering that you're it by default...
Lost in Space
Some mechanics will target the tank if there's nobody else available, some ignore the tank regardless. I don't know which that one is. Would the inability to dispel yourself be problematic in LK? Stacks of Devouring Plague could be brutal.

As a rogue, I could blade flurry, or shadowstep back to the LK.
Plus, they do not grab the main tank, they ignore him, I think. Plus, Cloak of Shadows.

Great, we're back to facerolling through dungeons. Tanks and DPS aren't punished for being stupid anymore.
That's typical for pre expansion patches.
You think that's bad, you should have seen what RET PALADINS did to late BC raids.

It's the end of the expansion. Try until Wo D is actually rolling to say that, and even if it is true, so what? the rewards from dungeons are not top tier, so you might say they are equivalent to the difficulty they provide.

At this point, there's no reason not to open up the gates to everyone to finish all the content they want. It's all about to become irrelevant.
I remember Retribution in the initial 3.0 patch. Divine Storm was so freaking OP.

Stepped into Dragon Soul on my rogue to finally start the old legendary questline.
Wow. Was it this easy before the stat squish? Because all that comes to mind is that dude from Magister's Terrace, "YES! I AM A GOD!"

I soloed Heroic Baleroc last night to finish my Glory of the Firelands Raider achievement. I died a few times until I remembered not to stand near his crystals, then I crushed it.
I'm going to go finish up all the other Cataclysm metas as well.

Because it's not fun Aszur. I want to have fun while I'm leveling. If the game is not fun until you hit max level then it's just a big grind-fest for the new people and they stop playing because they're not having fun.

Leveling dungeons have not been hard since...a long time ago...it is hardly a recent "issue".
That said, why not try raiding for a challenge, if that is what you seek? Get your guild to do Challenge Modes, or so? same dungeons, added difficulty.
While leveling, no, it is just a grind fest. A really, really quick grindfest, so.

I've had the random orange flashes as well. I have no idea if I'm actually receiving anything or not.
