Default Favourite Dungeons.

As the title says, what is your favourite dungeon?.

Mine has to be Ooze Pits, it's simple design makes it possible to clear it fast for decent rewards (gold too) and oozes itself look harmless but man they pack a mean punch (looks can be deceiving), my last visit had a room full of Earthbound Oozes.. it was earthquakes after another my screen stopped shaking when we were all dead, 8 + duplicates make things go boom. :P.

The 3 bosses are challenging enough to still wipe my group sometimes or at least kill someone with the spike. I dont like heavy degen places/mobs so much so Sepulchre was something i disliked the most but then Raven's Point is nice too despite the degen. Cathedral of Flames is another one i do sometimes too, it's pretty cool but a little long, if HM were in game i bet that place would be tough.

I'd like to hear yours, if possible .

I like Kathandrax (fun!), Bloodstone (quick and easy), and Slavers' Exile (refreshing but takes a while).

Haven't done many, but the Snowman dungeon (Winterfest Cave or something) was incredibly amusing. I needed a light hearted quests and that dungeon hit the spot: that said, it won't win many points for design.

The Secret Hideout of the Snowmen will always be a personal favorite, other then that Slavers' Exile has become the new guild Deep/Urgoz run, full quest takes around 2.3-3hrs if done right. Another would be Frostmaw's still have a tendency to get party wipes during the last part of Lvl 4~ Specially with our tendency to aggro big ^^

The Secret Lair of the Snowmen, Bloodstone Caves and Frostmaw's Burrows are my favorite.

Bloodstone Caves (still want that Eldritch sword...)
Sepulchre of Dragrimmar (despite what you said, my buddy and I farm this at least 2 times a day)
Cathedral of Flames (same as above)

Actually my favorite is the Excavation (so far.. I still haven't done the ooze pits and a few others) but when I was playing through the excavation dungeon I kept thinking to myself that it was very polished and interesting. Probably one of the first dungeons they created because it looks like the just put a lot more detail into the little things. That was my impression anyway.

I adore the Ooze Pit: those oozes are mean little buggers, but you can't really even be mad at them for wiping the floor with you, that's how cute they are. Cathedral of Flames is a very gorgeous, castle-looking thing and that's always a plus and you can get collectible armor (if you can get it). I haven't done all of them but the concept is definitely cool. I'll be spending a lot of time in dungeons the next couple of weeks.

The excevation was okay...but that final level is just insane if your not ready for it. I went in with near 0% DP and after about the first 5 rooms I was straight 60Dp and had to restart, just didn't realize the mobs kept respawning on me at first. Plus the mages are deadly at 60%.

Hmmmm but so far, other then obviously lair, I would say ooze is up there for favorite. Frostmaw can be challenging, but havn't found a good team for it yet, but I like the challenge. Ravens can be really easy, but it takes a while to get down to the bottom with all the flame brazier puzzles.

Today I am going to try Arachni's Haunt and Ooze Pits...maybe Raven's Point. I'll get back to you guys on how they are.

I haven't done too many dungeons, but I did enjoy Ooze Pit, for the same reasons listed above. Let's see...I've done Sepulchre of Dragrimmar, Cathedral of Flames, and Vloxen Excavations. And Heart of the Shiverpeaks, but that was a primary. hehe I managed to get my first GWEN green in Vloxen Excavations. It wasn't that bad really, all I had to do was keep killing the end boss's minions and he dropped eventually. And I don't think he regens either. But I still like the Ooze Pit. It's short yet challenging.

Heh I've gotten three greens. Fenrir, a skale near start of the second Charr zone. And Cyndir dropped his blade.

PS is it possible to repeat the quest for Cyndir or is there a different one?

I've only done Vloxen Excavations and Bloodstone. I thought the Excavations was well designed, fun, and a decent challenge. On the other hand, Bloodstone was too easy, short, and simple.

Heh that was nasty, i went there with my usual gwen-team (no AoE). Things got really hectic at the boss . suddenly we were from +10% to -60% dp and somehow the undead soldiers came to that shrine, we died many times :P.

I just did the golem place but i'm not sure if it was an dungeon but regardless that was something totally different. Liked it a lot.

edit: Oola's Laboratory is great ! never seen so many golems, non-stop fighting to the end, sometimes not even a break between. I turned the whole place to scrapyard.

Slavers exile is very nice for the profit (it's not really challenging )
Frostmaws for the look and hidden treasures.
ooze den and menagerie for fun (blobby[clone] is kick ass )
