How Many Players are Needed for an Instance in WoW Classic?
A dungeon in WoW Classic usually requires 5 players. The composition of the group consists of the following 3 roles:
- Tank: A character who absorbs as much damage as possible. They have high defense to reduce the damage received.
- Healer: One character is responsible for healing the group. In the best case, almost only the tank receives damage, which makes the healer’s life easier.
- Damage Dealer: The other 3 characters in a group are responsible for the damage. As a “DPS” or “Damage Dealer” it is your job to kill the enemies in a dungeon.
If your character is well above the recommended level range, it is also possible to complete dungeons alone. Most dungeons can be entered with up to 10 players. The following dungeons are excluded from this:
- Blackrock Depths (maximum 5 players).
- Stratholme (maximum 5 players).
- Scholomance (maximum 5 players).
- Dire Maul (maximum 5 players).
Are Dungeons Important in WoW Classic?
Dungeons are an important source of experience points and items in WoW Classic. By completing quests and drops you will receive items that make leveling easier. Aside from that, it’s not a problem to skip instances in the early character levels.
However, from around level 50, dungeons become increasingly important. In some cases, instances are important to obtain additional content or even best-in-slot items. Characters who later want to plunge into raids should generally complete at least the dungeons from level 50 onwards.
