We have another nerf wave coming to the 12.1 raid this reset. This time around it’s a particularly big one, affecting half the raid! The latter half, to be precise, as Sszorak, Twin Fangs, Coiled Altar, and Ula’tek are getting hit by the nerf bat. Raid Finder and Mythic difficulties are getting the vast majority of changes.
