BC Heroics were harded than anything EQ has ever offered. Don't be fooled into thinking that something which takes more time = more skill

Never really raided beyond Kara. But I remember cringing every single time I got halls of reflection. As a holy paladin with no group heal, depending on the group that was often the most intense 30 minutes I've experienced in an MMO. Once in a great while the group would be perfect and we'd breeze right through. I always liked how the game made you actually think and plan mana usage as a healer, which this instance in particular tested heavily. Not all about just going afk for 2 minutes, come back, CH, take a nap, get god loot.
This is also a huge difference between the two games. As EQ is so incredibly challenging simply because everything takes forever, 50% of your DPS sleeping only makes things take longer. In MMO's with real, scripted encounters, one guy slacking just a little bit will often end in a wipe. And the healer taking a second too long to decide on a healing priority list after major group damage kills the tank immediately.
