How much harder is the Heroic? I wanted a quick run tonight, as I was tired, and not a Heroic, because I wanted to try out some gear changes on my tank and some new healing macros, so I ran into the closest one, Violet Hold. I've watched the videos and read the fight descriptions before, so I knew what was coming, a Caverns of Time Dark Portal type run.

It's pretty fun!

I blew through it on normal, I just drank after every group (I'm overhealing, I need to tweak the macros, priest is going OOM very fast), and got through all the bosses fine - and *almost* wiped on the final boss, I had her down to 30% with full green bars on everyone, and the mage broke aggro and I think she tail swiped everyone, I lose 3, the lock and pally still standing - bubbled and bashed her down. Pretty awesome.

MUCH better performance from the pally, now I have more consistent healing. I have a renew/flash heal spam button on 1, with delays, so the pally is constantly being healed - I just need to slow it down a touch. The pally never went below 90%.

Now I want to try it on Heroic, just to see - how much harder is it?
