Ranking Every Wrath of the Lich King Dungeon Worst To Best (World of Warcraft)

[@Ruffin560]

I would actually have The Oculus lower (or lowest on the list). This was a dungeon players avoided at all costs. You could never find groups for it, and with LFD people left the moment you zoned in. It was so bad that Blizzard added a goodie bag only for this dungeon that rewarded extra badges and a chance for a mount (That also dropped from 10M Malygos). If you have to add such an incentive for people to even complete the dungeon you know the place went wrong somewhere.

[@Eskinor]

Oculus is fine, I never got the hate for it. Even better that it had the extra goody bag but you also got 4 bosses in very quick succession and an easy final boss if you can read tooltips and know how to press 1 and 2 on your keyboard but apparently that's too difficult for the majority of WoW players.

[@Nurofaen]

100% agree with UP being #1. Nicely paced, fun bosses, the gauntlet never gets old and always the chance at that Proto Drake!

My fav is Utgarde Pinnacle because i can do my fav troll against zoomers that just wanna clear way too fast, so after they go in the frost boss bowling lane, i stay behind and i summon the animal bosses XD. This way we get a cool double boss feature at the frost boss in which you have to dodge the frost lanes, pick up spears, kill the zombos and now giant animal bosses come too. That always cracks me up when people get salty at that bit. Sometimes i say "Oh shit, someone called the animal bosses! brace yourselves!" XD

[@jimmyandersson9938]

I imagine the dungeon designer for WOTLK when he first saw waves of mobs being fought in previous WoW, " WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!! "

[@theuselessdrunk]

my favorite is forge of souls - aesthetically perfect - short and fast. most of the mobs are packed so if you are an aoe caster it's very easy to climb up the recount list -- the loot. most people get their first epic weapons here. even twice if you are frost dk

[@Barkend3]

plus the first boss being a reference to James Brown (the Godfather of Soul), with a special music and sound effect like he's singing, just perfect

[@mancamiatipoola]

@@Barkend3 Heh. I just always called him "Bro-ham" so that reference passed over my head. That is a nice catch. It;s funny how many people still dont know how to stop the soul fragment in that fight... XD

[@Eskinor]

Forge of Souls became the go to for a quick "random" dungeon in wotlk classic lol. Not sure why they let you get the daily rewards from picking a specific dungeon but that was the one everyone picked. I remember trying to see how fast I coulod run it, fastest was like 7 or 8 minutes.

[@Eskinor]

@@Barkend3 I had my music disabled for the most part but always made sure to enable it just for that boss.

[@Anastasia2048]

Crabs are basically armored spiders of the sea lol.

[@EnderGoku9001]

I agree with the placement in the intro. Burning Crusade has better dungeons while Wrath seemingly had a better open world

[@Daftmachine]

I agree there average zone in Northrend is better, but Nagrand just eclipses anything WoW has ever done before or since in my opinion.

[@davidsmrcek2722]

Violet hold is THE most annoying dungeon in wow

[@Hi-fd4cw]

And then in Legion they said “Violet Hold my beer”

[@gerardmentor4387]

and they make it worst for legion

[@KenZ0e]

Oculus has entered the chat Warrior has left the chat. Healer has left the chat. Damage has left the chat. Damage has left the chat. So while Violet Hold is "annoying", it's certainly NOT the most annoying dungeon.

[@WowOafus]

@@KenZ0eand violet hold is such a fast dungeon.

[@KenZ0e]

@@WowOafus No one said it was fast. But this is not a list over the fastest WotLK dungeons. A dungeon where 3/5 of the group members insta-leaves when zoning in after seeing the RNG instance pick, is by definition far worse than one that "takes time". 😭whaa-🚑 The entire stick of the WotLK babies were that if the instance took longer than 10 minutes they couldn't be bothered. That and gear-score were far the worst thing that expansion brought with it. Finally, Half the whiners probably don't even realise that they added a "force next wave" feature by talking to the gate NPC. So the wait after a boss was down to seconds instead of RP-length minutes. So no, Oculus was by FAR the worse dungeon in a match between that and The Violet Hold.

[@DIEGhostfish]

Oh those fuckers.

[@doctainted1808]

There's no way violet hold is worse than the oculus

[@jimmyandersson9938]

The first phases of WOTLK is basically just fighting waves of mobs. After replaying both TBC and WOTLK I realized the dungeons in TBC is 10x better.

[@alexandrerezende5662]

my man i'm from LATAM that crab going to be my lunch the next day

[@WowOafus]

I’ve fought of crabs in my room after good Saturday nights

[@hanzi.thegreat6954]

I can agree with most ranks, maybe I would put Halls of lightning higher. Also FoS, PoS are great (especially gauntlet in PoS), but HoR is wave fight only which makes it super boring. Also in time i got to kinda like Oculus, unless someone wants to go emerald void achiv, that one is pain in the sensitive places.

[@EnderGoku9001]

I hope they do Crabophobia mode next

[@Icebeast77]

Oculus was the worst and it was the one dungeon that entire groups left when it popped on random. Everything else was pie.

[@MaidensRag]

Halls of lightning #1 for me for sure. esp with titanrune dungeons when we got BUFFED tf up

[@jereboy2005]

Lol this giys bittim 3 are some of ym favorites from this expansion. I look back and remember then fondly cause they were slightly different. Alaso a oittle confused why gundrak wasnt grouped with draktharon keep since all the other ones were grouped. But hard agree that gundrak is just one of the best!

[@henriklovold]

The Frozen Halls dungeons never appealed to me. Probably because they came together with the random dungeon finder, which I found to kinda ruin the social aspect of the servers and the game in general. Apart from that, I agree!

[@mancamiatipoola]

Zug zug! Its a shame you had to go through the dungs with a current content chr, but it makes for easier recording i guess. Me and a couple mates play on a private Wrath server and so we do these dungs almost on a daily basis. My fav ones are the UK ones and the troll dungs because they look cool. My fav is Utgarde Pinnacle because i can do my fav troll against zoomers that just wanna clear way too fast, so after they go in the frost boss bowling lane, i stay behind and i summon the animal bosses XD. This way we get a cool double boss feature at the frost boss in which you have to dodge the frost lanes, pick up spears, kill the zombos and now giant animal bosses come too. That always cracks me up when people get salty at that bit. Sometimes i say "Oh shit, someone called the animal bosses! brace yourselves!" XD In the hard ICC dungs i like to pull one of the big enemies when people start a boss fight, by misdirecting with my hunter onto the casters or the healer just to make the boss fight more interesting and break up the daily on-rails speed runs. Yeah im a bit of a troll, but me and my pals still laugh our asses off if we wipe a whole group. After you do all these dungs 100 times in WOTLK grind you kinda get bored and wanna spice it up a bit. Maybe im an asshole, but its funny. :) PS: instead of making fun of you on your pronunciation i will help you out. Azjol Nerub is spelled A - SHOL Neroob and Stratholme is spelled STRAT - OLM (h is silent). TY for the funny videos.

[@RPGeographic]

Halls of Lightning was easily my favorite from this expac.

[@theoutlander1411]

Been waiting for this

[@Linkforlife199]

Random fact: my first time running heroic Utgarde Pinnacle, I managed to get the blue proto drake. Personally, for the most part I agreed with the list, except I would have put Halls of Relfection lower since the only cool "boss fight" was the Escape from the Lich King section since it was a different encounter style at the time. Again,personally, I would rank the Halls of Stone and Halls of Lightning (more the latter) a bit higher since I love the Titan architecture in WoW.

[@thodorislib]

the violet hold bro is the worst dungeon of all time probably . I hate this place. very cool video i like the way u say things

[@WowOafus]

I can understand people not liking VH and TotC are so quick and easy. I think if you ran a poll on the bottom three you listed, Oculus would be the worst.

[@Lumindracon]

U totally deserve more subscribers and attention! you are amazing! :)) i subscribed and i will keep an eye when u make another video like this!

[@zuggypoo]

Thanks for subbing!

[@Eskinor]

I don't agree with lumping the frozen hall dungeons together because forge of souls is kind of just a fun little romp that can be done within 10 minutes, nothing special, pit of saron is pretty great, but halls of reflection is a wave based slog with the first two bosses then the running away from the lich king boss which is fun at first and apparently hard as fuck to my 12 year old self back then but super easy nowadays.

[@MangaManifaction]

Not the biggest fan of WotLK dungeons. The ones I hate the most is Halls of Stone and Lightning. Violet Hold at least has the crystals and ToC is FAST. Halls of Stone is just a SLOG and the Brann event is 5 minutes of boredom. Lightning is a bit better in terms of fights except for the hallway where the Iron Vrykul randomly comes to life. The Frozen Halls of Alliance is like you said, you follow Jaina around instad of Sylvanas. Only slight changes in dialogue as well

[@mancamiatipoola]

TO be honest i find Hall of Reek-flection the most boring dung. Half the dung is a defense mission with waves, half the dung is an on-rails defense mission with 4 stages of boredom. Like, dungeon designers were falling asleep in Wrath man... Only a few dungs are cool or semi-interesting. In WOTLK they really shifted the gameplay to cater much more to casual gamers than before and that trend only got worse in further expansions...

[@MangaManifaction]

@@mancamiatipoola "Only a few dungs are cool or semi-interesting". Yeah, most Wrath dungeons are pretty boring, which is a shame, since it's overall a good expansion

[@user-mg4jr9zs6z]

3:28 I love dungeons but I don't like when dungeons look like an actual dungeon

[@zanierrules]

Dungeons are running and fighting through waves of enemies until you get to bosses, seems like the Violet Hold just wanted to eliminate the running part. Never had a problem with it, liked it more than the Oculus, which is certainly the worst dungeon of that expansion.

[@Hauke-ph5ui]

9:45 That depends on the area people started. People who started in the Borean Tundra went to the Nexus first, people who started in the Howling Fjord started their dungeons with Utgard Keep. Ranking the Oculus that low is bonkers btw. This dungeon is one of the best dungeons ever made in WoW.

[@naer3513]

1. Halls of Lightning 2. Pit of Saron 3. Utgarde Keep 4. Utgarde Pinnacle 5. Azjol Nerub 6. Nexus 7.Drak'Tharon Keep 8. Gundrak ...

[@BIGic619]

Hard disagree. Oculus has to be the worst. I avoided doing that dungeon because people are really that bad.

#8 on the spider dungeons is a WILD take. I groan everytime I get HoS, not spiders

hmm for me it would probably be Culling of Stratholme Frozen Halls Halls of Stone Utgardes Violet Hold Trial Spider Dungeons Nexus Troll Dungeons Oculus

[@vojamajstorovic3100]

Nah nerubians are pretty cool, nexus and oculus should be at the bottom tier with violet hold and toc, no way anyone likes the nexus, and i'd put CoS 1 probably, gundrak ,UP/UK, Fos/Pos/Hor are great and all but i love the story for stratholme so much more!

HoR was a Pain in the A** to play while it was current for the same reason VH was but even slower. When you run tjhe whole Experience the first time it is cool. But Dungeons are made to be repeated and this one had me cursing everytime it came up.
