Agreed that it would be interesting to see without all the tricks we've come to know. On my live server I don't think AoW was even killed until Luclin came out, despite many attempts.

My guess is agro clicky / wort pots / Soulfire / Reaper over-abundance and knowledge played a big factor. Also don't recall druids using the charmed wolves for the fight, which seems to add a ton to DPS. Not sure if that was just not thought of or perhaps viewed as too much of a liability for charm breaks.

Clerics here have a ton more mana than they did in era too, along with any caster.

Ahhhh how nice it will be once everything is classic and we can get a better apples to apples fight comparison.
