yes, server was falling a part, and they were running out of DPS, so they recruited the top rogue on the server (me)
so this is why you're glorifying wow raiding. there's nothing mechanic driven about moving out of bombs and kiting the fire in a zig-zag pattern on 25m firefighter, sorry. like i said before, it's just more ddr/guitar hero mechanics. and 1 light? did you never get 0?
hell, mods did 99% of the fight for you, especially the one that graphically drew directions in-game before they outlawed it in the API.

Mods today don't really show you what mods were like back in the day. I remember DBM and Recount as early as MC, but the best they could do is play that alert sound. My guild was world-horde (legit - i know people griefed the fight and got banned) first Magmadar kill and it took a very specific strategy to get him down. It was 3 AM CST when it happened after raiding for 7 hours on the same boss. The next week they nerfed the entirety of MC and the floodgates opened. That was the beginning of the end - they wanted people to see the content they created, not reserve it for the select few who could get past Lucifron & Magmadar.
Any encounter that takes 50+ tries before you get it right is pretty difficult. EQ didn't have this in classic - the penalty for dying was so large, and CR took so long, you couldn't imagine it. However, even raiding as late as cataclysm I know it took us at least 100 tries to get spine heroic mode. That's a lot of effort, way more than I would have ever put into an EQ raid.
0 Light: Realm 1 US 48 World 118
Heartbreaker: Realm 1 US 15 World 25
Observed: Realm 1 US 43 World 85
And this was after we split and reformed, right in this time frame. If I can find statistics for Classic/TBC I'd give those to ya too.
For some reason I thought 1 light was harder than 0, weird memory that sticks out to me but I can't really place it. I haven't played WoW seriously since ToC.
