We have another significant boss nerf as Blizzard decided the Demon Hunter team was a little too much for the top guilds.
The Soul Hunters
The 5th boss of Manaforge: Omega is on the chopping block as we speak, with Liquid pushing on The Soul Hunters. They’ve put in 19 pulls so far, getting the bosses down pretty low. However, they have consistently hitting the enrage point around 15-20% left on the boss. As you’d expect, everyone tends to die very quickly at that point, despite it not being a very hard enrage.
Here’s Liquid’s more recent best pull, getting the bosses down to 13%. As you can see players do live a little bit into the enrage, with tanks making it almost half a minute.
And the full pull:
The Nerf
All bosses got their health reduced by 7%. This is nowhere close to the massive nerf on the 4th boss, but it’s still very significant. Whether Liquid can manage to get the boss down now with their 5-healer strategy is still uncertain, but it’s certainly much more likely now! Nerfs like this aren’t that uncomon, as Blizzard tend to overune later bosses, just so the top guilds dont blast through them in a few pulls.
Perhaps the first boss kill on the Demon Hunter boss gives us a hint about the hypothesized 3rd void spec?! No? Ok.
