A new patch for World of Warcraft makes many things easier. Most “Mythic+” dungeons are now easier to handle.
A new hotfix for World of Warcraft was applied last weekend (11/16/2018) and brought numerous small changes. In particular, the “Mythic+” dungeons are affected by changes and have been weakened in many areas.
Keep in mind that some of these changes have already gone live in recent days, but Blizzard has now compiled all adjustments to make them easy to follow.
Why the nerfs? Some dungeons were significantly more difficult than others, depending on the affix. The nerfs should ensure that all dungeons have a similar difficulty even at higher levels. In particular, “King’s Rest” and “The Temple of Sethraliss” have often been neglected and simply skipped by many players. Now these dungeons should be less daunting.
14th Anniversary Event
- The respawn time of all event bosses has been reduced.
Dungeons and Raids
- The affix “Grievous Wounds” now stacks only every second tick, but deals 2% of a player’s maximum HP (previously 1.5%).
- The created explosion orbs now have 50% less health in “Mythic+” dungeons and can no longer appear from enemies that are in control effects.
King’s Rest
- King A’akuls Hidden Blade (Poison DoT) now deals 60% less damage.
- King Timaljis Blade Storm now slows by 60% (previously 25%), but the cooldown has been increased to 20-25 seconds (previously 10-20 seconds).
- The seduction by Queen Wasi now only lasts 8 seconds (previously 30 seconds).
- The periodic damage from Zul’s Shadow has been reduced by 50% and the direct damage from Shadow Spike Fire by 25%.
- Wrath of the Ancients from Shadowborn Champion now deals 50% less damage.
- Animated gold from the Goldsnake now has 50% less health.
The Shrine of Storms
- The damage bonus from Eternal Darkness of the Depths Ritualist has been reduced to 10% (previously 25%) and the cast time increased to 3 seconds (previously 2 seconds).
- Depth Slam from the Executor of the Tidecallers now deals 25% less damage.
- Spirit Shaman of the Tidecallers now casts Healing Stream every 25 seconds (previously every 10 seconds) and deals 50% less damage with Anchor of Binding.
The Temple of Sethraliss
- Galvanize from Galvazzt now deals 25% less periodic damage.
- Embryonic Strength of the Treacherous Eggkeeper now only heals 10% (previously 50%) and the cooldown of Greater Healing Potion starts immediately, so stuns prevent it from being used again immediately.
Tol Dagor
- The timer for mythic keys has been increased from 33 minutes to 36 minutes.
The Underrot
- The timer for mythic keys has been increased from 30 minutes to 33 minutes.
Uldir
Mythrax
- Forgotten Sphere now targets ranged attackers with high priority.
With Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance, you also have to relearn many mythic dungeons.
Are you now going to venture into “Mythic+” dungeons more often after these nerfs? Or do other adjustments need to be made for you to dive into the tough dungeons?
There was also another nerf to puppies. Blizzard seems to not want a World of Corgicraft…
