WoW: Heroic dungeons are useless – why do they still exist?
When we talk about dungeons in WoW these days, it’s usually about the mythical version or even mythical plus dungeons. Both are good sources of useful equipment with the current systems and thanks to the scaling you always get a level of difficulty tailored to you. Below that there is also the normal level of difficulty. These dungeons are less about getting gear and more about gaining experience and leveling up. And then there are the heroic dungeons…
But why actually? It used to be a popular piece of endgame content. Today, however, hardly anyone visits this level of difficulty. There’s just no halfway good reason to set foot in it.
Why should we go into heroic dungeons?
If our hero has reached the maximum level, the heroic dungeons are open to us in addition to the normal ones. These offer better loot and are slightly heavier in return. At the same time, however, the mythical mode also opens. This one offers even better rewards. So if you’re looking to equip your character quickly, just skip the heroic dungeons and go straight to Mythic or Mythic-Plus.
At the beginning of the expansion, some players may still make the intermediate step via the heroic dungeons. But after the first patch at the latest, that’s history. Because then there is usually equipment from other sources that wipes the floor with the heroic dungeon rewards. Currently, these are the pieces of gear you can buy for a few anima in Zereth Mortis.
It’s not all about equipment!
That is indeed correct. But the heroic dungeons also have nothing to offer apart from the equipment. If you want to complete dungeon quests, you can do so in normal mode or, if it is a requirement, in the mythical dungeon. There are also no resources such as bravery points or anima, or significantly fewer than in the mythical dungeons. So nobody is lured into this level of difficulty.
There used to be at least one daily reward that made a difference. Frost Emblems in WotLK times or Artifact Power in Legion. This daily reward is still there: 150 gold and 35 anima. For this, most heroes in WoW press (buy now ) not even the button for looting. In return, we easily sit in a queue for half an hour. You could also complete a mythical dungeon in that time.
