Heroics: they're back...and in PUG form.


Ever since 3.2 landed with it's love-it-or-hate-it change to the Emblem system in heroics, LFG has suddenly become a much more active place. What once was a terribly litany of 'LF2M Tank+Healer' has risen into a wonderful hymn of 'LF DPS!' People are doing heroics again and I couldn't be more excited!

Even as a raider I still love doing 5mans. Perhaps it's the recruitment officer in me, who loves to spot new talent among the blue tinted masses, or the raid leader in me that loves to explain fights, but I just can't get enough.

At the same time, it's been nice to see other raiders coming back down to the level of the common player. That concern and fear that one gets before joining a PUG hasn't been as acute lately thanks to the fact that most heroic groups, on my server at least, include at least one other full t8.5 raider who's out to get that final piece of Conquest gear. Odds are even better if you're doing the daily, as everybody can use Triumph emblems (all of the tier gear up to Heroic 25man ToC requires Emblems of Triumph to obtain.)

So now that we're all rushing back to content we may have left behind as quickly as one month after the launch of Lich King, which Heroic Dungeon is your favorite?
