[Staff 1,196]

Blizzard just announced a solid amount of M+ dungeon tuning, with 7 dungeons getting varying degrees of changes.

With scheduled weekly maintenance tomorrow, we will make adjustments to several enemies and spells in Mythic+ dungeons.

Data and feedback suggests that Murozond’s Rise, Throne of the Tides, and Atal’Dazar are outliers in terms of difficulty. While Murozond’s Rise and Throne of the Tides are too difficult, Atal’Dazar is proving too easy and may affect player progression through the content in a negative way.

Our adjustments aim to better align overall balance across the Mythic+ dungeon pool for Season 3.
