The Sanctum of Domination in World of Warcraft is being massively nerfed. We reveal to you what is changing in the latest WoW raid.
Some players have already grown tired of the raid “Sanctum of Domination”, but many guilds are still trying to defeat the bosses in heroic or mythic mode. Blizzard is now lending a helping hand to these players and ensuring that the last bosses of the WoW raid are significantly easier to handle. There are a whole range of nerfs for some of the last bosses, making them noticeably easier to defeat.
All nerfs in the Sanctum of Domination in detail
In total, 4 of the last 5 bosses in the Sanctum of Domination are receiving substantial nerfs, significantly reducing their difficulty. In the case of Kel’Thuzad, however, it is more of an adjustment. Certain parts of the fight have become easier, but the phase transition can no longer be delayed indefinitely to wait for all DPS cooldowns, as the damage from the blizzard increases over time.
Tormentor Raznal
- The distance between the gaps in phase 2 on mythic difficulty has been reduced.
- The damage of the Shadowsteel Chains has been reduced by 15% on mythic difficulty.
Fatebinder Roh-Kalo
- The position of the runes has been adjusted on normal and heroic difficulty, so they require slightly less hectic rotations in counter-clockwise direction.
- Players have 10 additional seconds in the Looking for Raid and on normal difficulty, and 5 additional seconds on heroic difficulty, to adjust their fate.
