Which cata raid to start with

I can already hear people getting ready to disown me over not including Karazhan, but be honest — would you really rather not have the Absolution Regalia on this list? Ulduar has a healing legendary , making it my backup pick. While Ulduar has a lot of really nice tier sets and weapon drops and some amazing shields I think ICC is simply better, with more variety and a much more thematically appropriate feel to the gear.

Plus, if you want gear that resembles the original Naxxramas 40 looks, Naxx 10 is the only place to even come close outside of an occasional piece on the Black Market Auction House. Also, Spine of Deathwing still takes forever. None of the raids in Mists of Pandaria are bad raids, but I think Siege of Orgrimmar has the most diversity, as it combines looks from almost all the previous raids with Mogu items, Mantid items, various tier sets, and more.

Finally, the last expansion most of us can reliably solo is Legion. Frankly, I think almost every single raid has a solid claim on being excellent in terms of transmog options.

I look forward to your stinging but hopefully affectionately meant rebukes. Blizzard Watch is a safe space for all readers.

Yet there is one shortcut:.

Fly to Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight and make a small detour for Wintergrasp. In and out, then fly to Naxxramas next door. Do Ulduar in Storm Peaks, then use in-raid teleporter to get to the entrance and do Trial of Crusader in Icecrown next door. Kill world boss serpent Nalak before the raid entrance and do Thunder Palace raid. From garrison, go to the heart of Tanaan Jungle and do Hellfire Citadel.

Use in-raid portals to get out and proceed to Gorgrond for Blackrock Foundry. When you finish the raid, create a custom group. When you see the green eye-ball on your mini-map indicating that your group is listed, leave group.
