[2022] WoW Hotfixes - Updated June 28

Hello! Here is the hotfix from today and the raid encounter adjustments that will be available after weekly maintenance this week:

JUNE 20, 2022

Dungeons and Raids

• Sepulcher of the First Ones
  • Developers’ note: We’ve heard feedback that several encounters in Sepulcher of the First Ones would benefit from adjustments, as they’re too difficult due to punishing mechanics, and we want to further reduce the likelihood that those mechanics can quickly cause an unrecoverable wipe.
    
    We have also received feedback that the Lihuvim encounter was too constrained due to the difficulty of some of the Automa, so we wanted to make adjustments to open the possibility of different strategies to players.
  • The following raid adjustments will be made with this week’s scheduled weekly maintenance:
    • Lihuvim
      • Lihuvim health reduced by 15% on Mythic difficulty.
      • Resonance Cascade damage reduced by 90% on Mythic difficulty.
      • Increased the cooldown of Guardian Automa’s Form Sentry Automa on Mythic difficulty.

      • Hopelessness and Overconfidence duration increased to 16 seconds on all difficulties (was 12 seconds).
      • Blasphemy will no longer be triggered when coming in contact with an unmarked player on Mythic difficulty. The tooltip will reflect this change in a future patch.
