Talk:Heroic mode

Should probably add notes for instances that no longer give rep at honored (like Sethekk -- haven't checked the others). Jefpearl 06:43, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Anyone know if blizzard is planning for every dugon to have a heroic mode? It would be awsome to have a heroic version of like RFC or ZG. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cormundo (talk · contr).

They're working on bringing in new content first, though that is something they'd like to do. --Pcj (T•C) 23:29, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Imagine how awesome a Heroic Dead Mines would be. --Karye 12:35, July 17 2007 (PST)

...or how horrible a heroic Gnomer would be. —Thorn 02:46, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

"Heroic timers are reset at 9AM PST daily." Is it really 9am PST, or 9am server time? Hekirou 13:45, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Another question: is there a page on WoWWiki - and if so, can we have a link on this page to it - which discusses the generally accepted gear requirements in order to complete a Heroic difficulty instance? Hekirou 13:48, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't think that's useful or possible, it depends on so many factors you can't really generalize it. I'd say mostly 67-68+ blues/pvp epics should be sufficient, but a good group could surely pull it in only greens...  Flotsam (talk con)  13:18, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I'd add this info if I knew the answer, but it would be nice to mention if the heroic instances are all generally of the same difficulty level, or if there are differences between them (perhaps even ranking their difficulties). —Thorn 02:46, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I know from experience that swapping out group members in a heroic will mess up drops, but is it just quest drops, or do all boss drops stop when the group makeup is changed? (I forgot) This information isn't well known, and would be pertinent for this page.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Annihilator (talk · contr).

update request... i'm sure somebody has some information Azahel (talk) 17:58, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Ramparts

Hellfire Ramparts IS NOT a 1 star difficulty. Tanks are not advised to start out in here everything either stuns or mortal strikes making it very difficult for newbie tanks and healers. The bosses are pushovers but the trash leading up to them is why i changed it to a two star. It is not on par with Mech, SV, and SP. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Doddilus (talk · contr).

The ratings that were added were just to get the ball rolling - feel free to edit them if you think one is incorrect. --BobClown (talk) 17:11, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Intro paragraph is confusing

What the heck is Hard mode, if on this Heroic mode article it says, "currently the only other difficulty setting is normal mode".

Either there are other settings than Normal and Heroic or Hard mode doesn't exist.

Perhaps raids only have Normal/Hard and 5-mans only have Normal/Heroic? That would make some sense, but then the intro Heroic mode paragraph needs to be redone. --Beware the sneaky smile! Fandyllic (talk · contr) 5:35 PM PST 7 May 2009

How is this for the into ( just putting something out there to go on ) -- (<span="help title=Morph>M o r p h | <span="help title=Morph_Contribution(s)_to_this_Wiki>^C | <span="help title=Morph_Discussion_Page>_T) <imagelink>IconSmall_Gnome_Male.gif|Gnome|Morphgnome</imagelink><imagelink>IconSmall_Draenei_Male.gif|Draenei|Morphdraenei</imagelink> 04:07, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Heroic mode, not to be confused with hard mode, refers to the User interface setting, accessed from raid leader's portrait menu; the only other difficulty setting is normal mode (the default setting), that can affect two things in WoW:

• / In 5-person instances Heroic mode refers to the dungeon difficulty and will make the dungeons mobs and bosses have more HP, hit harder, have additional or more potent skills, and yield better quality loot than what is found in normal mode instances. Heroic mode dungeons also are on a lockout timer much like raids, and can only be run once a day per character. Each dungeon is on an independent timer, however, so a character could run as many as 15 heroic mode instances per day. Heroic mode timers are reset daily at 11:00 A.M. server time for US servers, and 08:00 A.M. server time for European servers.
• In raids, this setting tells the game that you are gearing up for the 25-player version of the raid, likewise normal mode tells the game you are gearing up for the 10-player version of the raid. Heroic mode bosses drop better quality equipment than their normal-mode counterparts as well as currency tokens used to purchase epic items from vendors.
