The hardest bosses in the Eternal Palace of World of Warcraft have been nerfed. This should give many guilds the necessary boost to finish the raid.
Just a few hours ago, a new hotfix was applied in World of Warcraft that significantly weakened the current raid. Azshara’s Eternal Palace should now be much easier to manage. The nerfs came because the race for the top spots is over, after the “Hall of Fame” of the Alliance is now filled. In total, 100 guilds on the Alliance side have now defeated Queen Azshara on Mythic difficulty. On the Horde side, this was already the case over a month ago.
Which bosses are being adjusted? The nerfs affect two of the hardest bosses, Lady Ashvane and Queen Azshara. These were the bosses that guilds particularly struggled with and were generally considered a “roadblock” for this raid tier. Guilds that have had problems with these bosses should now make significantly better progress.
What has changed? Several mechanics have been adjusted on both bosses, making them more forgiving and allowing for more mistakes. Here are the detailed changes:
Lady Ashvane
- The health points on Mythic difficulty have been reduced by 5%.
- The periodic damage from Soaked has been reduced by 10% on Mythic difficulty.
- The damage from Churning Tide has been reduced by 10% on Mythic difficulty.
Queen Azshara
- The commands “Side by Side!” and “Stand Still!” can no longer occur simultaneously on Heroic difficulty.
- Overzealous Colossus and the Tide-Guards now have 10% less health on Mythic difficulty.
- Absorbing Azshara’s Ancient Protection reduces its energy by an additional 5 points on all difficulties.
- Empowering an Ancient Protection increases its energy by 5 additional points on all difficulties.
- Characters in healing specialization will now be much less frequently affected by command combinations that include “March!”.
- Short-Circuit now siphons 10% less energy from all Ancient Protection runes on all difficulties.
- Essence of Azeroth now has a longer duration when less than 20 players are present in the raid on Normal or Heroic difficulty. On Mythic difficulty, the duration has been increased from 25 to 30 seconds.
When is the next raid coming? The next raid in World of Warcraft is Ny’alotha with its 12 bosses. Currently, the raid is on the PTR for Patch 8.3 and can be tested in parts there. However, it is expected that the patch will be released in early or mid-December and the raid will start in early January, after the holiday season. Then fans can also look forward to the next “World First” race.
Are you still in the Eternal Palace? Are these nerfs benefiting you? Or did you not need them?
