2. The gear in SE is *dramatically* better than Naxx gear. By the time you get your 8/8 set you'll do between ~25 and 40% more damage. At full bis you'll be doing 50%+ more damage. Killing one or two bosses in the first lockout and then 2-3 in the next lockout gets your raid 25+ very strong items.

Not really raid-feedback, but I'd like to argue in favor of that, rather than "everything I wear is from SE", as seems to be the case here.
Don't let the community bully you around that much.
Because ST definitely was and...the buffs for ICC and DS came in rather early into their cycle (DS especially)
Simultaneously, I need you to know that as a raid leader, I have lost 2/3 of my rets to the ret nerfs (outside of the seal twisting playstyle that they abhor), and have multiple raiders ready to quit over how overtuned this feels for our dad guild.
My fear is the casual community in SoD who are excited to try and will fail right out of the gate and quit. And those who get angry at the difficulty and quit cuz "it's the end".
Its very frustrating to know I'm doing well only to be overwhelmed by what feels like over tuning.
Difficulty doesn't always equate to big HP bars.
Also, 2h rogues pls 🙏
i've raided mythic on retail at a famed slayer level for multiple tiers and some casts on mythic bosses that need to be interrupted are more forgiving than that cast going off considering it's a ~2s cast with tongues
