World of Warcraft is taking a radical step and nerfing all 8 currently relevant dungeons. We will reveal what’s behind it.
Although the second season of World of Warcraft Dragonflight has been running for several months now, there are still regularly different adjustments to the dungeons. This time, however, it affects not just one instance, but all of them.
What is changing? On Wednesday, August 23, 2023, there was a small hotfix in World of Warcraft. It introduced a fairly significant change, as it alters how strongly “Mythic+” dungeons scale. The change is:
- Above keystone level 20, each additional level increases the health and damage of the enemies by 8% (previously 10%).
What sounds like little on paper results in significantly lower health for enemies and also less damage to heal at higher levels.
What was the problem? Since the introduction of the Enhancement Caller, the ratings in the “Mythic+” area have gone a bit out of control. For several weeks, there has been a so-called “God Comp” that represented the perfect team of specializations. Played flawlessly, this team could complete mythic keystones up to three levels higher than all other groups. In other words: The combo was simply completely overpowered.
However, this is a problem because the corresponding groups now have such a high rating that others can hardly reach them. This is particularly annoying because a high rating at the end of the season is rewarded with special titles.
With the nerf to all dungeons above level 20, it should now be possible to complete dungeons a few levels higher again. This should give everyone the chance to still participate in the fight for the titles.
What do you think of the nerfs? Are they appropriate and meaningful? Or exaggerated and only caused by “whining”?
Right now, you can also farm a special transmog set in WoW – but you have very little time.
