Raid Tuning, Boost Fixes: War Within 11.2 Hotfixes: September 4th

Staff's Avatar by Staff

We start with a level 80 fix for players now getting their Renown. Then we have a lot of changes for LFR, Normal, and Heroic Manaforge, with Dimensius and smaller groups being the focus. And finally, there’s a nerf for Mercenary Acquisitionist in Delves.


Character Services

  • Fixed a bug that could cause player-characters to not receive the intended Renown and currencies when Boosted to level 80. Affected characters may need to log out and back into WoW to be granted missing items.

Delves

  • Mercenary Acquisitionist’s damage reduced, and Mercenary Acquisitionist no longer casts Borrow Power while the shield is active.

Dungeons and Raids

  • Manaforge Omega
    • Fixed an issue with the raid skip that prevented the Manaforge Translocator located in The Shadow Docks from being clicked after any boss encounter was engaged.
    • Nexus-King Salhadaar
      • Banishment now targets fewer players in smaller group sizes.
      • Behead damage reduced in smaller group sizes.
      • Manaforged Titan, Nexus-Prince, and Shadowguard Reaper health reduced in smaller group sizes.
      • Developer’s notes: These adjustments are aimed at reducing difficulty for small group sizes, with the greatest reductions applying to 10-player groups. These affect Raid Finder, Normal, and Heroic difficulties, with no change for 30-player groups or for Mythic.
    • Dimensius
      • Living Mass health reduced for smaller group sizes in Normal and Heroic difficulty.
      • Voidwarden health reduced for smaller group sizes in Normal and Heroic difficulty.
      • Nullbinder health reduced for smaller group sizes in Heroic difficulty.
      • Nullbinder health reduced by an additional 10% in Heroic difficulty for all group sizes.
      • Massive Smash now only knocks players vertically (was also horizontally) in Raid Finder and Story difficulty.
      • When any player engages Dimensius in Raid Finder difficulty, all other players in the immediate vicinity are now also transported to his location.
      • Followers should now help more reliably in Story difficulty.
      • Broken World no longer dismounts players in Story difficulty.
      • Dimensius no longer casts Supernova in Story difficulty.
