Midnight pre-patch released this week with a plethora of changes including a stat squish. Some players were worried about scaling, especially for older raids, scaling for Manaforge Omega has been very generous.
Fight times against bosses in Manaforge Omega have drastically reduced, making the fights a lot easier by skipping key mechanics. This is an added convenience for guilds still looking to farm 
Unbound Star-Eater.

Dimensius received a 40% HP nerf coming into pre-patch, allowing guilds to have a smoother time in the raid now that the season is over. After only one night of raiding on the NA and EU servers, we can already see the results of this nerf paying off. As of this writing, 3:07 is the fastest time by Interstellar Burn Orcs-Ragnaros (EU). The leaderboard is filled with sub-5 minutes kills, with the top 10 almost exclusively being sub-4.
Prior to the pre-patch, Honestly had the fastest time for Mythic Dimensius at 6:14, running one tank and two healers. This fast of a kill was in a league of its own, with no other guild killing Dimensius in under seven minutes.
Heroic Dimensius is slightly faster, but the fight length is heavily impacted by the flight times and platforms. Early kills are showing the boss can comfortably be killed under four minutes, vs. 11.2.5 where any kill time under five minutes was considered fast.
Other Manaforge Bosses Impacted
Despite receiving no HP nerfs, the other bosses in the raid are falling over just as fast. Nexus-King Salhadaar has turned into a three-minute fight, being able to skip the platforms right into Phase 3. The fastest time in pre-patch is 1:05 so far, compared to a 4:33 kill from 11.2.5.
The same is true for Heroic Nexus-King Salhadaar. The top 10 guilds on pre-patch have a kill time of one minute or less. Pop lust and kill!
Here’s the fastest times of the other bosses on mythic, which have all had their kill times cut in half:
| Boss | Patch 11.2.5 | Patch 12.0.0 |
| The Soul Hunters | 3:38 | 1:35 |
| Fractillus | 2:36 | 0:57 |
| Forgeweaver Araz | 2:52 | 1:06 |
| Loomithar | 2:53 | 1:06 |
| Soulbinder Naazindhri | 2:41 | 1:02 |
| Plexus Sentinel | 2:23 | 0:40 |
