Will attempt the challenge as a dwarf rogue for fun, hardcore mode is the only reason im even considering leveling a new toon again in wow.

I'm sorry to say this but not dying is quite easy. It's the "Ironman" challenge that makes it hard (no trading, AH, etc...)

Well clearing mc without dying ever is relatively hard, no? Unless youre getting carried ofc

that's the point. The thing that makes it hard are the ironman rules that prevent carrying.

But werent the classic raids cleared out by green geared lvl 55s?

Mc is harder now

How much harder?

Even with the version of MC from last classic, clearing it with a group that adhered to the ironman ruleset would still be supremely difficult.

But with only the no-death restriction, it's easy since nothing stops you from getting carried.
