In this segment of the video, the speaker is creating a tier list for the dungeons included in the Mythic Plus pool for Season One of Dragonflight, based on their experiences from the beta. They start by discussing Azure Vaults, which they place in D tier, considering it the worst dungeon due to its punishing trash mobs with deadly spells, monotonous boss mechanics, and frustratingly long run-backs. They specifically note the high number of interrupts needed and complex mechanics that could easily lead to death. The bosses are described as lackluster, with some having recycled mechanics from previous content. The segment concludes with a mention of Ruby Life Pools, which is portrayed as a favorite among players for its short, fast-paced nature and challenging but enjoyable bosses.

They mention key tactics required for managing big pulls and tough bosses, notably the problematic dragons and elemental battles in Ruby Life Pools. They highlight the strategic decisions players need to make, such as timing their use of lust for trash mobs or saving it for bosses, and navigating through packs with critical interrupts. Moving to Algathar Academy, the speaker appreciates its unique layout and mechanics, such as the buffs from dragonflight emissaries and the bird boss fight requiring strategic ball placement to manage debuffs and avoid dangerous ground effects. The dungeon’s design is praised for its balance of mechanics, giving it an S-tier ranking, although it also presents opportunities for serious padding, especially on the tree boss.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses how damage numbers in specific dungeons can skew perceptions of class performance. They highlight the unique features of the Nokhud Offensive dungeon, such as the use of Dragon riding and its open design which allows players to choose the order of bosses they face. The speaker details various bosses, including mechanics for summoning them and the unique challenges they present, such as the water boss with damage-boosting orbs and the centaur bosses that are hard to group up.
Additionally, they mention the challenges posed by trash mobs and mini-bosses that can complicate runs, especially for pug groups, making the dungeon potentially unpopular. They conclude this part by ranking Nokhud Offensive among the more difficult dungeons alongside others like Algeth’ar Academy.
The speaker then shifts to praise Halls of Valor for its aesthetic appeal and familiarity from the Legion expansion, suggesting it may be popular due to prior player experience and its enjoyable design.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various tweaks and challenges in a specific dungeon. Trash mobs have been made easier and bosses slightly nerfed, though the dungeon remains lengthy with much running required. Notable enemies like Sentinel mobs can cause wipes by preventing interruptions, while certain boss mechanics, like dodging dragon breaths or splitting damage from swipes, present difficulties. The second boss, Herja, has been tuned down from an initially overly punishing mechanic. There is also a critique of role-playing (RP) events within Mythic Plus dungeons, suggesting they should be removed to enhance gameplay. Overall, the Halls of Valor dungeon is rated as B tier for its fun yet demanding layout. The speaker also commends changes to the Temple of the Jade Serpent, notably simplifying the first boss encounter to fit Mythic Plus dynamics better.
00:20:00
In this part of the video, the speaker provides detailed strategies and tips for handling various bosses and challenging segments within a dungeon. They describe the mechanics of the first boss, which involve avoiding damaging water bursts and a lethal water laser attack while navigating platforms. For Havoc Demon Hunters, using momentum abilities and vengeful retreat can be particularly tricky. The trash mobs leading up to the first boss are notably difficult, posing significant danger to tanks.
The second boss involves managing stacks that increase damage but can make the boss immune if they reach ten. The tactic is to balance the stacks between two bosses by switching targets.
The third boss is described as straightforward but heavy on tank damage, with clear telegraphed attacks. However, the surrounding trash mobs are also challenging, especially due to fear effects that can lead to chaotic pulls.
Finally, the last boss involves an easy-to-cheese mechanic where players can stack up against a wall to manage phase transitions effectively.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the mechanics and challenges of various dungeons. For the Temple of the Jade Serpent, they place it in B tier. Court of Stars is noted for its unique mechanics tied to player professions and racials, but these are randomized, making planning difficult. The trash mobs can be punishing but manageable with experience. Changes have been made to the dungeon, like requiring all clues to find the final boss. The visuals on the last boss are criticized for being hard to see. Despite these issues, Court of Stars is rated as B tier. For Shadow Moon Burial Grounds, the speaker appreciates its aesthetic and straightforward routing, mentioning some crucial interrupts required to avoid deadly outcomes.
00:30:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses changes to dungeon mechanics and strategies in a game, noting that certain mobs are now linked and can’t be interrupted as before. They describe a challenging boss called Ner’zhul, which involves navigating through walls of skeletons that players can bypass using specific techniques like a Warlock’s gate. There’s also mention of an exploit where priests can mind control a mob to reduce all trash and boss health by 50%, though it’s expected to be fixed. The speaker ranks various dungeons in a tier list, adjusting the positions based on their current meta and personal opinions, finally locking in their choices and inviting viewers to share their thoughts in the comments.
