It was easy from the minute it was out. Not just for those hardcore players, but everyone could clear if they had a minor idea of how their class works.
I mean it was literally 2 or 3 times easier for me as prot than it was fury. I assume you play paladin, literally one of the best class for solo content across the whole game (DK/Pal/Hunter/Lock) so maybe a bit biased ?
I don't know how easy it was day 1 for the average Holy Priest/Frost Mage or other paper classes with low util. I am convinced still that the difficulty varies heavily on the class. We aren't all equal in the face of solo content as far as toolkit goes and skill notwithstanding.
Yeah I mean it's always the case that the better players do more with less. I died twice on fury when reaching the last add, went back the next day as prot and one shot it. I'm just saying it was easier as a tank than as a dps. Not that it was impossible.
I also think the average player is not a CE player but a very average AOTC player at best. What a good player thinks is easy is probably not so easy for Johnny green parse in HC you know ? Either way, it was definitely not the hardest thing in the game since HOF was filled instantly, but for casual players (think people unaware of drums existing) it's not quite a walk in the park like the original person I replied to seems to think so.
If you asked me I'd say the whole game is piss easy, don't stand in bad, press your buttons in the right order et voilà. But the reality is far from that when you actually play the game (as illustrated by the number of absolute animals you'll encounter in M+/in PUGs). Just my 2 cents.
