    I don’t think Asmongold actually cared about the Path of Exile boosting, to be honst. He was reluctant to talk about it. Asmongold got boosted by his fans in WoW all the time. He got carried through all of vanilla classic and his fans mailed him thousands of in game gold. Asmongold quit raiding in TBC classic because the raids were too hard.

    Asmongold spends half his streams doing right wing political commentary now and talking about how much he loves what Trump is doing. I think Asmongold still has a positive opinion of Elon.

    Asmongold’s latest harebrained theory is that Trump is somehow reviving 2014 gamergate to save video game and that USAID funded the opposition to gamergate. It’s a 15 minute video on his channel, 3 days ago.

        It depends which Phase you played in, I think. Burning Crusade was released in 5 phases, each phase lasting around 3-4 months.

        Phase 1 was easy. The main content was Karazhan (10-player raid) and 2 x 25-player raid bosses, Gruul the Dragonkiller and Magtheridon.

        Phase 2 was a nightmare. It has 2 x 25-player raids with a total of 14 bosses, Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep. Only like 20% of guilds were able to kill all of the bosses before the nerf. The final boss of Tempest Keep was a 15-minute choreographed fight where each of the 25 players had a unique role and you basically had to restart the fight if any player died.

        Phase 3 was medium difficulty. It had 2 x 25-player raids, Black Temple and Mount Hyjal. Black Temple is the most iconic raid of Burning Crusade. You fight Illidan as the final boss.

        Phase 4 was by far the easiest phase. The raid was Zul-Aman, 10-player raid. It was the same difficulty as Karazhan but you had all your powerful gear from Phase 3.

        Phase 5 was impossible difficulty. The raid was Sunwell Plateau 25-player raid, which is sometimes considered to be the hardest WoW raid of all time.
