    • Developers’ note: Due to the bug fixes in 9.2.5, we’re receiving feedback that Rygelon in Mythic raids is more difficult than intended on subsequent kills, and so we are reducing Rygelon’s health to compensate. Additionally, we’re reducing Rygelon’s melee damage across the board as he inflicts significant tank damage, but we would like to avoid altering current strategies around Corrupted Strikes.

Developer’s note: It turns out that prior to 9.2.5 some creatures and abilities were not scaling with Mythic+ Keystone level as intended. A bug fix with the patch corrected the scaling, but also unintentionally increased the health and damage of those creatures. The adjustments below for Halls of Atonement, Theater of Pain, and Tazavesh: Streets of Wonder are intended to offset this increase in difficulty and bring affected creatures back in line with player expectations.

  • High Adjudicator Aleez
    • Pulse from Beyond damage reduced by 66%.
• Theater of Pain
  • Mordretha
    • Deathwalker Health reduced by 60%.

    • Fixed an issue where Deathwalkers were treated as players for the purpose of crowd control duration.
• Tazavesh: Streets of Wonder
  • Zo’phex
    • Health reduced by 5%.
    • Security Measure damage reduced by 66%.
    • Armed Security damage reduced by 60%.
