For those who enjoy completing old raids solo in World of Warcraft, it is now a different story. Many raids are now too difficult.
Patch 7.3.5 of World of Warcraft is now live and provides players with many improvements. However, not only positive aspects have made their way into the update, but also some issues.
Many players report on Reddit that they are no longer able to complete old raids solo.
Fights that previously lasted just a few seconds now take several minutes. Bosses that once had only a measly 12 million health points now have up to 200 million health points, even exceeding some bosses from more recent content. Some bosses that were previously a walk in the park, like Ra-Den or the Sha of Pride, can no longer be handled solo.
But scaling is also going crazy elsewhere. Immerseus, the first boss from the Siege of Orgrimmar, now hits players for 4 million damage, making even well-equipped characters look outdated in their current state.
Outdated raid instances, such as the Siege of Orgrimmar or the Throne of Thunder, are a great source for transmog gear. Many players use these raids as “fillers” to pass a few hours a day and acquire new gear. This patch has taken content away from such players – at least currently – as they can no longer complete the raids.
This situation appears to be a bug. Blizzard did not intend for the overhaul of the old world to make old raids uncompletable for players. A hotfix should be expected soon that will make the old raids easier again.
