[Staff 1,425]

 

There's more tuning/nerfs coming to the final encounter in Sancutm of Domination on Normal, Heroic and Mythic!

After we posted about yesterday’s hotfixes, we finalized some additional updates to the Sylvanas encounter, which will go live with maintenance in this region early tomorrow.

The changes are:

Sylvanas Windrunner

• The total damage players must do to Sylvanas Windrunner has been reduced by approximately 5% in Normal and Heroic Difficulties.
• Sylvanas Windrunner now transitions out of Stage 1 at 84% on Normal and Heroic Difficulties.

• Developers’ notes: We felt that players were losing too much uptime due to mechanics, and getting out of the first phase much later than originally anticipated, so this is meant to curtail the length of the encounter without affecting difficulty too much.

• Veil of Darkness radius has been reduced in the third stage of the encounter.
• Banshee Wail and Banshee Scream radius reduced.

• Developers’ notes: Our goal here was to help ease the space constraints imposed by larger raid sizes, without substantially reducing the difficulty of the encounter.

We’ll have the changes above noted in our next hotfixes update.

Thank you!

first of all, there's no need to flex your superiority complex like that.
secondly, they did design the fight for everyone to see, so of course she will be nerfed if she proves to be too hard.

Although I will agree that it's a bad habit that they are starting to nerf it too quickly.
Personally I think they should wait a month or so before applying nerfs unless there's something gamebreaking.
If I was close to getting a kill, then I'd be pissed if they nerfed it before I managed to get it.
