Blizzard brings out the nerf hammer in World of Warcraft. All dungeons are massively weakened, making it easier to achieve success.
The first season of World of Warcraft: The War Within was considered the toughest “Mythic+” season ever. With the second season, everything was supposed to be a bit easier. With this expectation, many groups dove into the dungeons since Wednesday – only to find themselves sweating even on low Keystone levels.
Blizzard responded quickly and massively nerfed many dungeons. In addition to a general weakening of all dungeons, there are also many individual adjustments to specific creatures.

What do the changes bring? Overall, these adjustments are so extensive and, in some cases, real massive nerfs for the currently hardest dungeons. Groups that have failed in these dungeons over the past days should now dare to try again – success will be significantly easier to achieve. Especially the reduction of health points for all enemies ensures that players now have much more time when completing the dungeon.
However, things are already a bit strange this season. Because the race for the “World First Kill” of the current raid boss was decided in a bizarre manner – at least briefly: A group of “beginners” defeats the current final boss and is immediately banned by Blizzard.
