Blackrock Depths Raid Difficulty on Normal is Unacceptable

Hey Blizzard,

I want to bring attention to the current state of the Blackrock Depths raid on Normal difficulty. Simply put, it feels way too hard for what it’s meant to be. After several attempts, it’s clear that the raid requires a minimum item level of 620+ to stand a chance at clearing it, which is far above what’s reasonable for a Normal mode raid.

What’s even more frustrating is that the gear drops from the raid aren’t even close to the difficulty level required. Players are investing significant time and effort, only to be rewarded with loot that’s way worse than what’s required to even enter the raid comfortably. This makes the experience not only frustrating but also unrewarding.

At the very least, the item level requirement should match the loot drops, or the raid should be re-tuned to be more in line with what’s expected for a Normal difficulty encounter. The way things are right now feels punishing, and it’s turning what should be a fun raid into an unnecessary grind for minimal rewards.

Please take a look at the tuning of this raid—it’s crucial that it feels fair for all players.

Thanks for your attention.

You know its completely screwed when boost communities are doing 20 minute speed run carries with lv 30s.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, there’s no way they’re not gonna nerf it.
In a normal world sure it’d be totally do-able but Blizzard has to remember that it’s not a normal world, this is World of Warcraft, players leave after one attempt.
They have to adapt to that fact.

as the one said above.

This raid is not for max level, go in on level 30’s

Wasnt normal and heroic supposed to be 70+? Only lfr is 30+.

At least thats what wowhead says

Not to mention that when someone leaves you all have to leave instance and requeue and reclear if your got any trash before a boss. Cant just fill in the spots. Gotta love it.

Did you resub for the purpose trying the anniversary event then?
Or have you been playing Wow without the current expansion (I’ve seen some people do this so this is a genuine question)

Fingers crossed for a nerf soon. My guild and I were really hoping to finish the raid on Normal and have a fun raid night, but we only managed to defeat 2 out of 8 Normal bosses. We have no issues with Nerub-ar Palace—we’ve done it many times, completing 8/8—but somehow, this raid feels like a Mythic version even though we’re doing it on Normal.

this needs to be savagely nerfed, like half damage half health decrease

Not really no, i gave up around dreanor when the pay to win token came out.

I do stay in touch with an old friend and sometimes he begs me to try something out lol.
I did try legion for a month like that, and now same he asked to give TWW a try but i was actually having fun doing some dragonflight, I was even hesitant to buy TWW as i really enjoyed dragon.

Well untill the anniversary event started and i saw the amount of bugs and the messages “you need to get TWW” to do chromie event, same for the BRD raid…
That reminded me instantly why i quit this greedy crap and insta unsubbed.

So scaling gone wild again?

Yup a lvl 30 hunter can turn the lfr into a 5 minute cakewalk :grimacing:

The raid is well to hard im joining groups that are +620 item level and wiping on heroic bosses .

This should be HC difficulty raid not mythic difficulty i hope they nerf the raids so they can be done by the majority of the player base and have fun over this patch

Heroic needs to be nerfed if anything. It feels more like mythic nerub as it is difficulty wise.

i gave up on Blizz when dreanor came live and the tokens aswel, now i am buying every expansion since but just to lvl up my different toons and unsub when that is done, playing the game beyond the lv ling process is just a p2w game, just decide Blizz its one vs the other a sub fee vs the token.

Or u are just bad at the game.

Good.

People should have the expansion.
