BFA Legacy

Why are BfA raids still not legacy? I assume a lot of people, including myself, can’t wait to start farming transmog/mounts from those places. We all know a boss like Mythrax will need a fix like they did to Galakras in SoO so we can solo it.

But why is it taking this long to get legacy added to BfA raids?

It does have legacy loot enabled, though, has been true since halfway through Shadowlands actually.

Note that boss mechanics are NOT adjusted, so you still can’t solo some of them like Opulence which is a road block to further parts of Dazar’alor.

Blizz has always been kinda lazy when it comes to this.
Atm they’re too focused on the current expansion in ordr to nerf the previous ones.

Yeah, I agree. Legacy loot is enabled, and majority of bosses are still unsoloable, or a pain to solo. In transition from BFA > SL we also got a dmg/healing multiplier for Legion. Nothing now for BFA though, I’m doing the same numbers in DF.

I’m hoping a content update like 10.1.5 will bring some tuning, like SL’s 9.1.5. did. Here are some bosses and what fixes they would require:

  • Mythrax - Remove mechanics to make it soloable
  • Ghuun - Make it that you can solo carry the orb without being perma rooted
  • Jade masters - Remove the orb mechanic for the wall
  • Opulence - Just make it that you can fight the boss, remove the two adds
  • Stormwall blockade - No time limitations on when you can kill the 2 minibosses
  • Jaina - Remove the iceblock mechanic or make it possible to remove yourself from it
  • Queen’s court - Remove the insta death mechanic
  • Za’qul - Remove the portals
  • Azshara - I’m just gonna say ‘LOL’ here, you probably know what I mean haha :smiley:
  • Carapace - Remove the cloak & sanity mechanic
  • N’zoth - Remove the cloak & sanity mechanic.

That was from the top of my head, I’m sure there’s plenty more that need to be altered.

Don’t they usually need these bosses down later in the 2nd expansion after?

I think they’re waiting with that until Dragonflight becomes ‘the go-to expansion for new player leveling’. Right now that is still BFA, so maybe there’s some technical issues why they can’t completely make it legacy content; some conflict with the leveling content.

On the bright side; that would mean a big influx of old raid content to do when the next expansion hits (with BfA and SL both becoming legacy then).

What next is they just only care about esports, so they will never let us solo BFA raids, neither in 11.0

Can you go in a group? How many players do you need?

But we spend 1 hour and half to fill 10 players for Dazar´alor mythic

2 hours and half for normal and heroic dazar´alor and normal/heroic for eternal palace with 4 or 5 man

But in Castle Nathria mythic it is very hard and long to find the group, need 20 man group

duo or 3 man with normal and heroic Nathria. But still 1 hour of filling the group

Don´t get me wrong

I was able to solo WoD mythic raids during Legion, except Furnace and cannons

and during 7.3.5 I was able to solo Gul´dan as a warlock or tanks

and at the start of BFA we were able to solo legion raids at normal, except Coven and Varimathras (Unless have a pet class)

So You were able to solo 1 expansion old raids

For example Wrath raids in Cataclysm, you could kill Lich King and Malygos

It usually happens during the 2nd expansion after their time. So there is a good chance that we will see it in a x.5 patch during Dragonflight.

To be fair damage is not really an issue anymore, I just soloed Mythic Uldir till Ghuun. Only some of the mechanics are problematic, like Mythrax MC or Ghuun orbs.

That’s not really true tho. World first HC LK solo happened during in MoP and that’s definitely not something your average Joe could do.

I remember as well, that during WotLK even Molten Core trash wiped the floor with my mage.

This legacy damage buff / solo things easily after two expansions are entirely modern WoW “things”.

I mean, Warlock, Death Knights and tanks were able to solo Malygos during 4.2 or 4.3 but not at the start of cataclysm

But the last clip I sent a link such as this one is from Normal Lich King (not Heroic). I guess you´re right that we weren´t able to solo heroic Lich King 25 in cataclysm
