The irony of saying "I will try to not be as verbose as I usually am" twice is striking.

[@VladiMatt]

"Okay now we're at the dungeons that are sort of okay, I'm starting to enjoy myself a bit. This dungeon was absolute TRASH. This next one way okay. Now THIS one was just a disappointment."

[@Ularg7070]

Wailing Caverns is the stockholme syndrome of dungeons. If you actually like it I pray for successful healing.

[@JS310]

I remember loving WC so much when i first did it as a kid but doing it again in current classic opened my eyes to so many annoying things lol

[@VbrSoro]

I kinda do tbh, after hating it with a passion for a while

[@H41030v3rki110ny0u]

@@JS310 WC is fun on classic I think, but the navigation is certainly unfriendly.. Verdan the Everliving is a boss that sticks out to me from classic WC, just because he hits like a monster at such a low lvl

I think Wailing Caverns is fine up until the escort.

[@JS310]

@@H41030v3rki110ny0u Don't get me wrong I had some fun but I'm just jaded because I hate how the gems from the bosses don't stack in your bags and I also forgot the one from the last boss so had to do it all over again lool. Yeah when I first saw Verdan back in the day I basically freaked out found it so cool

[@Michael-bf3vb]

how is black morass not in the bottom 5 of your dungeons? it's literally violet hold with a coat of paint of 'swamp'

[@Nightstalker314]

1 more spawn wave per boss, huge difference! And 30 trash mobs before you start the gauntlet. Also curious how CoT1 can rank so high when every aspect is at times worse than things he criticized so far.

[@ujai5271]

If you didn't post this comment, I would have had to do it.

[@astrealove2247]

@@sagacity1071 More or less yes. The concept of it is the same. Some amount of waves until a boss spawns, and they can't be allowed to reach a certain area.

The fact that the Black Morass is not in this video is baffling. I dread that dungeon every time TBC Timewalking comes around.

[@panda93247]

I feel like he made this video and forgot about some dungeons as he was filming, but I know he didn't which makes me sad.

[@Scarorion]

God that's one of the few dungeons that i just delete from my memory,its horrendous,its like Violet hold

[@TheAssirra]

Remember that he is talking about the time itself mostly. So TBC Timewalking should not be taken into account. There is so much waiting compared to how it used to be.

[@LukeStrife]

@@TheAssirra Agreed. I remember back in the day it used to be much more of an active dungeon, with the very little downtime feeling more like a much needed break than a bore-fest.

[@Xfacta12482]

BM and VH had the same basic premise but they played nothing alike. The adds in BM were an actual challenge and you had to have a mage or something taking care of them. VH on the other hand was mindless

[@lukasrac861]

My most hated one is the Panda dungeon where you have to throw some yellow crap at waves of mantids and then defeat them. To newer players it might not seem that bad thanks to the gong they added later on, but originally there was HUGE downtime in-between the waves. Its been like 8 years since MoP launched and the memory of this hell-hole is still seared into my brain.

[@_Kuma_]

Ugh, yes. I remember running that when it was new and it was awful. It still is, but they must’ve made it a little faster.

[@brendanhart517]

Oh I’m really disliking plaguefall while levelling alts, like the skips people demand it’s just not fun

[@zubrhero5270]

3 generic-as-fuck examples of what you can expect from John Rando and the Boyz. "Follow me"... dead. "OK, one more try. Follow me"... 1 person gets left behind and ass-pulls, getting 2 more people in combat. The dude who originally wanted to skip is now waiting with the healer after skipping the trash. The remaining people fuck up the skip AGAIN after a 2 minute run back, and obviously frustrated and under pressure, they leave the group without saying a word. "It's OK, we'll find some more... they sucked anyways" says Sid the Skipper, and just as he hits enter... the group has disbanded. Hunter in the group hasn't said much, except for +1 because he doesn't want to move to the entrance. OK, group seems chill enough, no drama. Seem to be doing good DPS, tanks good, healers good, this is going goo... *Hunter jumping around and spinning the mouse* /say "???" ... erm, OK, ignore that. Next pack. "OMG NOOBS, WYH U NOT SKIPING TIHS PACK?!?!" One person responds with "sorry" to try and just move the conversation on. Hunter has already left the group and is calling people noobs as he teleports out. "Hey guys. Are we doing the skip?" "What skip?" "Well, if you don't know THE skip, I'm not wasting any more of my time, good day."

[@CrystalblueMage]

Back in the day you couldn't get a random dungeon if you hadn't discovered the entrance, so a lot of us made sure we didn't get near Stonecore. They did it to not let pugs deal with people that didn't know they way to the entrance after a wipe. But as soon as Bliz' got wise to this tactic, they changed it :D

[@Retributzen]

The amount of people that kept dying on Fozruk (third boos) back then and still do today during timewalking was and is too damn high it makes me feel miserable. Running out of a big circle is just too hard and not attacking when a spell reflect buff is on the boss as well.

[@brendanhart517]

Hmm that’s interesting i only started playing in cata got to 40 then uni took over

That might explain why i got Stonecore so few times. Its one of the best dungeons in the game. I always rejoiced upon getting it.

[@FlesHBoX]

Sethec Halls will always hold a place in my heart because it was the first time I ever tanked. I got into group and said "I've never tanked, and can't even remember the last time I even switched to bear form, so please go easy on me!" Ran super smooth, fell in love with tanking. One of my favorite things to do at the end of Wrath was queue for heroics, then tell everyone not to cast anything until I stopped moving, then proceed to pull everything I could possibly pull in the dungeon. It was so much fun! Likewise, Utgarde Keep was my first time healing (like, I had just spent the gold to respec and re-do my elemental build at level 65 and a friend says "hey, you wanna run Utgarde Keep?" and of course, I responded that I wouldn't even be able to hit anything, so he says 'well, how about you heal then?". It was a disaster. We went through 5 or 6 tanks, having to go back to Dalaran to pug a new one every time. We finally got her done with a tank who was patient enough to put up with my under-leveled, never-healed-before ass. And I fell in love with healing, Running resto shaman as a primary alt to my Bear tank through cataclysm, then switching to main resto shaman all the way up to about halfway through Nighthold.)

[@Twood599]

I love looking at Mike's new hairy head, but I wish it was relegated to the corner during the dungeon flyovers so that we can get a better view of what's going on

[@hkr667]

Same! He should be like 1/6th of the screen, not over half.

[@3lit3gn0m3]

I just imagine he's flying backwards through them. But yes, I agree.

[@Hoibz]

Arcway was such a fun dungeon as a warlock. Being able to enslave one of the mobs and get a 66% uptime on 20% (or 30%) haste and damage was super satisfying.

[@TheLordDracula]

Stratholme is definitely higher on my list but that's because that's where I became a good tank. Where I understood how to pull fast and efficiently and use LOS. It's got a soft spot for me.

[@andrewpaul8732]

Respect that. Happy you had a good experience with it 🙏

[@short0811]

And the Oculus??

[@SDSKamikaze]

I actually liked Stockades, but it might just be nostalgia.

[@ohwell225]

@@ChinnuWoW I cannot up vote your comment enough; oculus blows

[@vulkandrache1928]

Oculus is one of those dungeons thats fucking amazing if people know what to do. I like it alot. Blowing up the last boss in 30 seconds was the shit. Stocks is just a slugfest. The low celling is what makes it bad. Its essentialy a worse version of the Scarlet halls dungeons. Which isnt a bad metric considering how good those are. Black Morass and Durnhold Keep are easily among the worst in the game. Simply because they belong the dungeons that have you standing around more than actualy playing. The same goes for Violet Hold, Siege of Niuzao Temple, Jade Serpent Tmeple, Halls of Stone. The second boss in Niuzao is the worst piece of gameplay ever added to WoW.

[@osamudazai579]

Sorry, but the worst dungeon ever made was Tol Dagor. Playing through that dungeon as an Unholy DK was the worst experience ever, constantly pulling enemies through the floor, walls, and ceiling. I would only ever do that dungeon if I could be in discord with my tank, because I had to tell him every spot that I could pull enemies through the glass building and tell him where to tank everything.

[@hallo-mt5tx]

completely agree, i dont see 1 thing that was fun about it its completely horrible

[@mrgnw311]

I applaud you for making this but there is such great nostalgia for many towards BFD and Gnome because that was like a great fast leveling dungeon. You could charge through quickly.

[@BarlytheDwarf]

The WoD Auchindoun is one of my personal favourite instances. The way it starts with all this banging grand, beautiful Draenei architecture and everything is normal, only for Nyami to betray everyone, the Legion comes kicking in to fuck shit up, is just great. The bosses were pretty fun, too, especially the first one, and aesthetically I don't think Blizzard has done better.

[@jacobbeard8428]

Hey preach I enjoyed the video a lot. I had one request as someone who loves the nostalgia of the old dungeons and hasn't even seen some of the newer ones I was wondering if you would consider moving your camera down to the bottom right or something for the next part instead of directly in front of what the person who recorded the background video is pointing his camera at. Again, loved the video and looking forward to the next one!

[@benoitrousseau4137]

Did you manage to find something fun in The Occulus or did you just forget it exists?

I really love the Court of Stars! The class and Profession Buffs were really cool and the Kind of brought this back wie Covenant buffs but i wish they would embrace such Things more :)

[@derPandre]

I love how Preach tells me every 7 Dungeons: We are getting better now, now they become more fun! And then, after one more dungeon the rant starts again haha xD

[@3lit3gn0m3]

"we're getting into dungeons I don't actually mind now, they just don't have anything special." "this dungeon was just horrible!" Not perfect quotes, but yeah I dno where he's *truly* at in his list ever.

[@mattgreen2559]

I always liked Violet Hold. We had many good convos with my team/friends in between mobs. I looked forward to that being the daily Heroic

[@simon.annies]

I watched this a while back and was suprised because I used to love maraudon back in the day, but wasn't sure if that was just inaccurate memory. But getting into it in classic again more recently, I still loved it. It's the first truely grand dungeon you get to do in the classic journey. It's beautiful from start to finish, and when it opens up and you stand in front of that long bridge towards the princess, with the pairs of giants guarding it. I find it a great experience for the same reasons that BRD is so cool.

[@nicholaspetrovitch7925]

My problem is that I didn't get to run ZG and ZA in their original form. As such... the remade ZA/ZG dungeons were by far and away my favorite dungeons. The level of challenge they presented as a newer player completely motivated me to improve. I loved wiping and trying again and again. Felt great. Really looking forward to doing ZA in TBC classic. In the end though, I think it's going to be a relative thing.

[@theinitiate110]

I remember back in the day after spending 3-4 hours in MC my guild would get another raid group going to run ZG, lol. I'd spend like 5-6 hrs a day several times a week raiding. Jesus, who was I back then?

[@acphantom6437]

Finally. I thought I was alone in liking the cata heroics and the troll dungeons specifically. It was such a great challenge that felt good and skillful to overcome and made me take learning mechanics seriously.

And this dungeon is actually getting WORSE with the M+ mechanics added. Being so claustrophobic, adding shit affixes like Storming or Spiteful just makes the experience so much worse. God.. Shadowlands is such a middle finger for melee.

[@maciejziemianin6926]

why ? its amazing dungeon quickly checking if you play with muppets or with good players. very nice thematicaly too .

[@InCardiaSnoop]

I do have a fun memory of violet hold, when I played demonology in legion and there was a boss whos main mechanic was a really really nasty debuff or dot, but then I realized that he only casted the debuff on a single target AND demonology pets including the „only a few seconds alive“-Imps could be targeted. With 12-16 Imps, 2 Doggos and your main demon the debuff pretty much never targeted a player.

[@joelcoombs2437]

cool fact, one of 'the nine', one of the bosses in the maw raid, is the valkyr you see at the end of utgaurd keep who revives ingvar.

[@lordfluxington]

"Fucking playing basketball with the eyeballs and the skull" had me laughing. :D

[@ChumblesMumbles]

The only good thing to say about Violet Hold is that you couldn't get lost (which for a newbie tank isn't a small thing, as everyone always assumes the tank knows the optimal path through the dungeon - looking at you, Mauradon).

[@pmkaboo2446]

as blood dk i have really enjoyed running auchindoun and bloodmaul, the big dark simulacrums you could do there were really satisfying

[@TaikanzGames]

next we need a list of worst to best raid bosses, then dungeon bosses, then world rares, then every quest in the game!

[@R0m0n3]

Finally someone I can take seriously about one of these lists.

[@foelley6026]

Only one that really surprised me by its position is Zul'Gurub. Between archaeology bosses, unique mechanics for dungeon bosses, and an interesting final boss I would say it was great. Fair that it is considered a watered down raid and that makes it lower, but independently I would say it's good.

[@jjstraka1982]

When Halls of Reflection was still new, unless you had a Priest, it was pretty mandatory to stack in the corner on the trash packs. 2 or 3 people would just leave the moment you zoned in.

[@alittlebirdi]

I can't believe Preach remembered what a Bogstrok is lol. No kidding you spent a lot of time in Slave Pens.

[@Mrpuddington]

CHEERS MATE! LOVE THE IDEA

[@Antisceptic]

I loved Cathedtral of Eternal Night! I farmed it a lot because a lot of my best gear came from there, but I genuinely enjoyed running it every time. Also, the fact that the Black Morass wasn't at the bottom baffles me. It's definitely worse than Violet Hold.

[@SYL3NZR]

the arthas chase not being directly after violet hold is a disservice

[@SimplyConeh]

Violet hold had some decent bosses going for it, but the trash was horrible to do. If they had just made it a boss rush kind of deal, I think it would be amazing. But I figure they needed more than however many minutes 3 bosses would take... When Theater of Pain was first mentioned, I honestly thought it'd be something like that, a giant arena with "waves" of bosses, potentially on a rotation like the play in karazhan

[@DoylePTB]

It's clear that you were a raider in vanilla :D. My love for M+ comes directly from times like being in a dungeon guild in classic and doing hard Cata and BC launch heroics. This is a hard video to watch with you just shitting all over my memories :P

[@superspork3975]

Early Cata heroics is how the game should be imo. Everything is too easy unless you grind up to like mythic 20 and stuff. By then I've done the same dungeons 400 times and am over it altogether

[@yoyoipwn1]

It amazes me every time I go in to Blackfathom and skip the jumping section by walking over the rock at the end. People will watch you do that, then still go back and start failing the jumping section.

[@damienfritz5626]

I miss the Cata Dungeons. They were adequately challenging, but straight forward enough so that even a struggling player could properly get walked through their mechanics and perform well. Easily the best time I had in the game. Not everything was tied to some elaborate system. Had a main for progress raiding and meme runs with the bois, but other than that I'd just pop on some alts and do LFD, helping groups out as a Tank/Healer and giving out boss/trash/class specific tips to newer players. Seeing them get it and knowing that they'll just trivialize some of these mechanics from then on was immensely satisfying. Wish they had just added a "Hard Mode" for the 4.0 and 4.1 dungeons with an ilvl bump to make them relevant for 4.3 instead of the snoozefest End Times that we got. The only good memory I have of the End Time dungeons is queuing as a Prot Warrior with Heroic Dragon Soul DPS gear, pulling all the room before the Jaina boss fight and seeing the damage meter lose its shit.

[@eggmackan3353]

Black morass did it last timewalking and i had wiped that dungeon from my memory it has to be the worst

[@vtheman1850]

For the court minigame, since it's still kinda relevant with TW. If you have a DH in your group, once you collect all the clues, you can just spectral sight it, and the demon will be highlighted.

[@Penzig]

I kinda dig Maraudon 8-) I like that it is an actual dungeon, and at that - such a grandiose one too. To me a dungeon should feel like we are invading an enemy lair, and Maraudon does that for me more so than most other dungeons. Monsters aren't randomly placed to be an obstical, it looks like they belong there, with hydra's chilling by the waterfall, crocodiles in the water, zatyrs in their temple room making pacts with the devil or whatever they're up to, and killer plants branching out and decorating the walls with vines for the upcoming christmas party. Bosses are often just placed in the center of a room doing nothing, but Mauradon has a few exeptions - mostly thanks to the environment justifying why the bosses are there in the first place. And they are all having a good time in their dungeon, until you show up with a hammer of justice and retribution! And yeah - The Princess is just such a nice tidbit of irony, in such a beautiful location that it's hard not to love the ending, too :)

[@dropsgaming3703]

I am really fond of the underrot, because of a run where a tank massively overpulled everything in area with the tentacle trash and me mc'ing one of the tentacles on my holy priest, which aoed down everything and made me top the damagemeter for the dungeon

[@marlojulin]

Shrine was challenging on high keys, either fort or tyran, no one wanted to do it, but I appreciated it being the standard 'harder' dungeon of the xpac

[@SFfan112]

Will the Cata/MoP remakes (re)-appear on the list on seperate spots as their original version or will they be tied together?

[@L4kken]

Glad to see you've appearantly given the Oculus it's fair chance. As the others are saying though, how is Black morass not here as one of the very first dungeons? o.O Also this has made me aware how little I actually played Legion :o

[@seenbeen1110]

fuqing love these vids!

[@skylarius3757]

the arcatraz prison dungeon from TBC is the one that I find annoying the most just because of the start where things keep re spawning and people don't move past them fast enough so there is constant combat.

[@sonlen796]

I would actually put Cathedral, Seat, End Time and Well a bit higher up because the aesthetic/plot was cool enough that the mechanical problems didn't bother me as much. I recall Well having a stealth portion and some other stuff that was cool even though they were easy. Cathedral gave me Halls of Reflection vibes which I liked. Seat looked cool even if the dungeon itself was kinda boring. RFC I think is actually a gpod VERY basic intro to tanking and healing if you've never done either before. You basically just have 1-2 buttons so you learn how to use those basic buttons in a VERY simple dungeon.

[@TheStanfordKid]

Got fond memories of BFD Maraudon too, despite doing it only very few times. :-D

[@dylanfarris7647]

Running Gnomergan is awful. But going in on a max toon and clearing it then just exploring it is actually pretty cool. The city is a lot more fleshed out than I thought it was. With a bunch of "secret" areas.

[@jwbartle]

Cathedral of Eternal Night was one of my favourite M+ dungeons after the nerfs in the first week to make it not insanely hard. It's just since it was unbalanced AF in the first week it was out, it set the community perception of it so nobody would go there ever again, learn it, and actually get *good* at it. By the end of Legion, when I got a Cathedral key, I was happy because it was almost always a guaranteed timed key for my friends and I. Good dungeon (once they tuned it properly LOL)

[@NostalgiaXV]

Oh boy, preach gonna have work for weeks!

[@tyrannosaurus696]

WTF? I loved The Motherlode! Thematic, lots of Goblin humour, and a rollercoaster ride at the end! My favourite dungeon in BfA. That was lower than Black Morass/Culling of Stratholme/Escape from Durnholde Keep?

[@bluey1007]

Have you ever played it in a m+ setting?

[@hallo-mt5tx]

honestly i liked seat of the triumvirate especially watching the absolute shitshow that ensued there on higher keys during the mdi, its the most memorable mdi moment by far to me

[@dragovianknight]

My biggest problem with Siege of Boralus was always the faction difference on the first boss. Same group, same classes, similar power levels, and we could blow through the first boss with no trouble on Alliance, but the Horde version would inevitably bug out and be running people down at full speed from the moment he targeted them. But I'd still rather run Siege on Horde than Tol Dagor on...anything.

[@kiwifan6002]

My first ever WoW dungeon was WC. There was a really hard jump towards the end of the dungeon, I didn't make it across and I got lost. I logged out, out of embarrassment and didn't play for a few days after that.

[@jonathan13co]

I don't think you did shrine of the storm justice. It's REALLY easy just putting half the bfa and SL dungeons in F tier if you take m+ into consideration, but I don't think it'd be fair. Maybe I'm biased because I absolutely loved running that dungeon as a tank/healer( even more so with prot/holy pala), but I really think it's a nice dungeon. Cool setting, unique adds, 3rd and 4th boss' mechanics are quite unique, punishing but fair.

[@jenat82]

Everbloom has ONE of my favourite voice acting for the cone stomp on the last boss. "Do you want to die here? MOVE!!" lol Literal instructions yet people would still eat it. My worst experiences was probably collecting Essence of Infinity in Black Morass (Elixir Master). I was tanking on a paladin and was so oom between pulls I couldn't mount my charger. lol And I had to collect the crap of the trash instead of going to the next portal. ARGH! Remember this is before mass looting.

Personally. Besides it being the go to m+ run in legion. I fucking loved Mae of souls. All the bosses had some really great mechanics. I remember the first boss hitting tanks so hard it was fun preparing yourself for that next overhead slam. Helya has so much spectacle and when you're at the top do the boat and seeing all the massive waves. Brilliant

Anub'arak: You had to slow dps to a halt ~52%, wait for him to start casting crush, pop lust and go nuts. That's how we did it go get the first Glory of the Hero pre nerf :)

[@poorwowgameplay]

Hold up a second and now imagine the End of Time dungeons as well as the Frostmourne Halls dungeons both as raids that would have lasted three to four months before the final raids actually came out. There was just so much more potential for them in that space where they’d have been like Kara than as dungeons.

The feeling when you actually kinda liked Cathedral of Eternal Night nd see it second to last D:

[@WondderWaffel]

After all of the nerfs that made it more in line with all the other Legion dungeons for m+ values, it was actually a pretty alright dungeon and I enjoyed the the little shield minigame you had to play on the last boss. It was just all too late, by the time the balance tuning had finally gotten it to a good state, it had remained over tuned for too many months and everyone and their mothers had hard set their brains to refuse to run the dungeon. So when you actually got a few people in there to run just a casual weekly +15, no one knew what any of the mechanics did and wiped to the most simple of stuff, thus furthering the hive mind notion to avoid the place like a plague.

Interesting no starting cata dungeons, don't know if its been said yet but I feel cata had the best dungeon lay out at the launch, when they removed a lot of the teeth it lost that but a solid return to CC and tactics combined with the new blizzard ethos of each boss has a unique mechanic, unless I'm remembering wrong

[@MoejoTheGreat]

Utgarde keep was super fun as a mage, spellsteal the bubbles odd the viking guys on the stairs, be invincible for a while.

Love that you refer to Vanilla as "Classic" and Classic as "Vanilla." Not confusing at all!

[@CyclopsToppingWolverine]

My computer was so awful in BFA that I would avoid Temple of Sethraliss solely because the maze was so awful with choppy fps, it wasn't until I upgraded that I could actually experience the dungeon but my first impression was already made. Kind of tragic, it's a beautiful dungeon. I love the under-ground "cities" Blizzard hints at in dungeons but never ends up doing anything with.

[@Vaelosh466]

Tol Dagor should be somewhere on this part of the list for being broken the whole expansion.

[@thegamerfromhell10]

The part in CoS with the party guests wasn't as tedious if you had a prot paladin!

[@danielchrch]

my most fond memory of gundrak was when i cast waterwalking on my brothers priest and killed him on the fall down at the start of the dungeon.

[@ChumblesMumbles]

Gnomer, ah Gnomer. I agree that it has a ton of trash, and it is a bit of a disorganized mess. For a new player it's probably the first dungeon you run into that is so big and so unclear what the right path is, and it's one of your first introductions to jumping down levels to skip parts. For that I remember it fondly in that it was just so overwhelming how big and confusing it was and it was impressive that it was even possible to have a dungeon like that.

[@tinyjazzhands2074]

Can't believe you put Wailing Caverns that high on the list

[@vulkandrache1928]

Why? For an early level dungeon it has just the right densitiy of mobs and the way is linear enough that getting lost is unlikely but you still have to play some attention. What this needed was a teleport back to the start which came later in the form of the LfD.

[@shawnwilliams804]

I just love the picks for some of the worst dungeons are being remade into raids for sod. This will go well with

[@tuckerbrady4846]

Cathedral was actually one of my fav dungeons, maybe just because I was tanking but I loved it

[@bubblisimo]

I loved Cathedral too. One of my favorites from Legion actually. Unfortunately, it was overtuned when it came out, and despite all the improvements Blizzard made it could never shake that initial reputation despite being a challenging but extremely fun and do-able instance. The WoW community as a whole tends to fixate on first impressions.

[@cas6382]

@@bubblisimo it was also overtuned as hell for a solid 6+ months which didn't help but I thought it was alright after it was fixed

[@EndOfExistence1337]

Cathedral (and IMO Seat) was a fantastic dungeon, that was completely ruined by the balancing issues. I remember them nerfing some abilities by 80% and the dungeon was STILL overtuned. Even tyrannical upper kara was easier than that bullshit.

Regarding the pronunciation of Gnomeregan, there are NPCs to who say it in game. It's Gnome-reh-gone
