The last raid of WoW: Legion receives further nerfs. A hotfix should make progress bearable again!
Since the big patch 8.0, not everything works smoothly in World of Warcraft. Many enemies deal too much damage after the item squish, and even fights against normal mobs sometimes turn into real boss encounters. Blizzard continuously releases hotfixes to gradually fix the issues. Now, the last raid “Antorus” is back in the crosshairs. A hefty 10% reduction in damage applies to all creatures here. And that, despite already having a significant nerf.
