Your thoughts on Classic BWL?

Hi folks!

BWL got cleared in 42 mins upon release, but there are many casual guilds out there that are or will be progressing through the lair at a slower pace.

My guild is going to BWL this Saturday, so I’d like to hear what experience the guilds had that cleared the raid fully or partially.

So far, the guilds on my realm have reported the following:

• Death Talon Captains after Vael might despawn and reset the whole pack if kited into Vael’s room;
• don’t go left-hand side in the suppression room, because you’ll pull the second floor packs; go right-hand side instead;
• technicians in the lab packs might be harder to be kited in a circle by mage, as they shoot more rapidly.

Any further first-hand experience would be great, be it bugs, tips, loot drama, or general impressions.

My thoughts on BWL ?

Raid canceled because impossible to enter into the raid. World server is down, full of lag, 1 orb for 1000 players, Alliance/Horde spamming AoE, impossible to enter.

From what I saw on stream, guilds that have bad healers and tanks are stuck to Vael and they will disband at some point. When you see on stream chainwipe on Vael with players that say in raid “I don’t have golds to repair”, “Fire Protection Potion will not help”, it’s obvious there’s some guilds that will not pass it.

Some bugs from Razorgore to, infinite adds spawn, and you mention the suppression room right side.

i can confirm this.

simply aoe them with 4-5 mages

Remember that those who cleared that quick are people who have probably spent the last 10 years raiding BWL on private servers and are juiced with consumables to the max.

The dungeon will be harder for us casuals.

Yea some premade top guilds cleared it in that time, but what?
For most of the guilds it wil ltake some time and i bet you , guilds will wipe until they figure out positioning etc, even it is 15 years old raid.

So be possitive, enjoy it.
My guild started yday 1h 30 min late cos world server was down.
Razorgore was fine, Vael wiped us 2x and we pulled left side of suppression room, second floor, so we had to do it all over again. Also Firemaw wiped us, cos some weird agro stuff on tanks. Like tank dropping Debuffs meanwhile second tank has boss for 15 sec and boss still run to MT. Then it was almost midnight so we stoped.

So once again, enjoy, figure it by yourself etc, thats the magic of old raids even you think there is nothing to suprise you.

We cleared it in around 2 hours and a half. It was a breath of fresh air from MC. Even though our guild came ridicilously prepared (I’d say maybe overprepared lul) it was definitely a very enjoyable night.

I’d say Nefarian, Chromaggus and Firemaw are the bosses most casual guilds are gonna have problems with and Nefarian can be a problem only because of the trolly rng. Still it’s pretty funny seeing giraffes running around.
