Well last week a few bosses in Ulduar were hit with the nerf bat, some a little harder than others. The hotfixes, which were applied just under a week ago, have changed fights from Flame Leviathan to Yoggy himself. Now when fighting Yogg Saron players will experience a much easier first phase as the Guardians will no longer mind control players and their spawn rate has become, well…more “forgiving”. Also flash-frozen players that touch a cloud will no longer bring forth an additional Guardian. Now I have not yet seen this fight personally, but from what I have read and watched this should make this fight considerably easier!
Also getting a whack with the bat was hard mode Flame Leviathan (FL). The amount of extra health FL gets per tower up has been reduced and the snare effect of Hodir’s tower has been completely removed. Additionally, vehicles caught in a flash freeze during the fight will be freed with a single shot from a Demolisher or Siege Engine cannon. Also, when FL ejects players following a stun, they will not go as high, this should make it easier to pick them back up and continue the fight.
Last but not least, XT-002 was tapped with the bat, too. He will not make people into bombs as often and his heart’s health was reduced slightly in 25-man.
So, that about sums up this round of nerf bat strikes, we’ll keep you posted when the next ones come around because we all know that Blizz loves the nerf bats!!
