The installation for Ahn'Qiraj is still thrilling. The sand-covered destroys you enter through quickly reveal themselves as a veil hiding the true horrors below. Fleshy corridors form a sprawling labyrinth, rooms brimming with historical worms and bugs wow gold classic. After fighting your way towards the finish you confront the captive in the heart of the raid, an older god sealed from the floor, on the verge of breaking loose. It is a shame that, by today's standards, he is a joke.

The C'Thun players fight currently in WoW Classic is not the tentacled monster of legend he was. The C'Thun we fight has had his fangs filed down, a nerf that dates back into 2006 when guilds taking on the OG C'Thun believed him unkillable. However, was he, really? Dependent on the abilities WoW Classic players have accrued over the previous 15 years, I believe we could take this giant eyeball the way he was intended to be fought. I believe we can destroy pre-nerf C'Thun, and Blizzard must patch him into WoW Classic to give us that chance.

The story of C'Thun is a story of frustration. Players threw themselves against the boss for months to no avail. He required a great deal of damage to take down until he enraged and immediately murdered everyone, and the struggle demanded pinpoint positioning from all the raiders. The battle famously had a bug too, which induced ranged tentacles to spawn behind walls or directly under gamers, nearly guaranteeing full bash wipes. After 80 days with no single clear Blizzard eventually nerfed C'Thun to the floor, and he was easily beaten the same moment.

It is not merely the raid as a whole is simpler for today's seasoned WoW gamers. Players are doing triple or even quadruple the quantities of individuals's DPS back so even a pre-nerf C'Thun would easily collapse. It's an issue of the playerbase being significantly more skilled, and knowledgeable.

If you take a close look at the damage logs of almost any C'Thun kill right you can now see that is true. You've got players performing between 200 to 300 dps on bosses, and since this is Classic WoW you understand they're watching a movie on their second monitor while they perform it. It's tough to get accurate numbers, as most people were not keeping tabs on dps 15 years ago buy WOW Classic TBC Gold, but according to Minmaxed, it had been far less than what we're seeing today:"[There's] a general consensus among people who did perform back is that it was'way less' The concept that pre-nerf C'Thun is too high of a damage check is laughable."
