Text of the page (random words):
ly empty some of the packs changed such as replacing the mobs between gluth and thaddius with single oversized giants instead of a group of 4 5 normal sized scourge and far more mobs were skippable than ever the first boss i encountered anub rekhan highlighted the changes between classic naxx and wrath naxx original naxx had that fight beginning with a boss and two adds and the fight strategy was to kill the adds then have a pair of the raid tank and a mage me typically babysit the adds as they will spawn scarabs from their dead bodies at some point adds will periodically spawn during the fight and they too have to be tanked and downed and babysat just like that initial bunch if anybody dies in the raid they will also spawn scarabs too so the point of the mage is to freeze the scarabs in place before they escape and start munching on the raid and then the tank will round them up so the raid can kill the scarabs fast forward to wrath naxx 10 style and you begin the fight with just anub rekhan no adds in sight a pair of adds spawn during the fight and the off tank can grab those so that the raid can kill them just like in the original naxx fight but no scarabs spawn off of them the only time scarabs will spawn is off of the body of a dead raider which makes the anub rekhan very much a tank and spank style fight most of the other naxxramas fights are like that there s a shell of the original fight in place but mechanics have been removed or reduced to accommodate the smaller raid size well and also the expectation that you could potentially finish the entire 14 boss raid in one night what do i think of discount naxx for those of us who ran it in classic it feels like almost the real thing i referenced the uncanny valley effect where you get that uneasy feeling when you see a robot or video of someone very close to human but not quite human and that is a pretty apt description it s not the naxx i knew it s a reduced version of naxx and there s a shell there but it s not the same thing i mentioned to a few people in raid at the end of sunday that it felt that the original tbc classic version of karazhan was harder than the wrath version of naxxramas oh yeah one person replied remember trying to clear that ballroom right before moroes or nightbane came another or netherspite yeah wrath naxx is much easier the sunday portion of the raid concluded with us needing only gluth thaddius sapphiron and kel thuzad to finish up we d wiped a few times since we needed to work out the kinks with a raid composition that included two mages the previous week s raid not having any mages but in general it didn t feel like anything was out of our league but of course naxxramas isn t the only raid in wrath classic phase one and i ll continue these thoughts on those raids later of our wow classic raid team only one person actually had completed naxx back in the day he was a member of the sixth raid team to finish naxx and his raid team pioneered the use of bringing world buffs to naxx on a pvp server no less with 10 person raids karazhan and zul aman replacing the 20 person catch up raids in vanilla the hardcore early players of vanilla will also point out that blackrock spire upper and lower were designed as one whole instance but upper blackrock spire being gated behind a door you had to quest to get a key to unlock was originally a 20 person raid at launch it was downscaled to a 10 person raid later in vanilla which was something i didn t know about for all i knew ubrs was a 10 person raid from the start but that wasn t the case and tailoring versions of the same called spellthread for applying to leg armor and cloaks as an enchanter i can even enchant the rings i wear for a bit of an extra boost the only people who can enchant rings or tailors sewing spellthread on their own cloaks are the people who actually own the skill for their own rings i can t sew spellthread onto other people s cloaks unfortunately i know it was a feature of vanilla classic naxx but i suspect that it was an oversight due to the original design for naxx calling for the entrance to be located inside the stratholme dungeon itself so you d have to run stratholme the side commonly known as the undead side to get to the naxxramas entrance you can or could still see the entrance to naxx sitting unused inside stratholme in classic wow that was azshandra and i think it took her until l47 or l48 before she had enough gold to afford the riding skill and the mount hence gruber s oh shit moment when as the raid puller he pulled a trash mob instead of coming right for us one of the mob ran backwards in a small circle aggroing a second mob nearby and they all rushed in gruber was famous for cursing up a blue streak all the time so you knew things were bad when he very quietly said oh shit this is very much a thing as i ve seen it numerous times already insert mark zuckerberg jokes here eta the comment about gruber got chopped off
