Classes

  • Retribution
    • Fixed an issue causing the Indomitable Justice Azerite trait to sometimes provide an unintended speed bonus.

Dungeons and Raids

• Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible
  • The Vigilant Steward, Zskarn
    • Developers’ notes: These changes are directed at reducing the burden on tanks in smaller groups where Shrapnel Bomb was more difficult to handle with more limited amounts of utility from the group.
    • [With June 6 resets] Zskarn health reduced by 10% for small group sizes on Normal and Heroic difficulties.
    • [With June 6 resets] Shrapnel Bomb initial damage and DOT damage reduced by 50% on Normal and Heroic difficulties.
    • [With June 6 resets] Searing Claws damage reduced by 25% on Normal and Heroic difficulties.

  • Echo of Neltharion
    • Calamitous Strike’s debuff duration reduced from 40 seconds to 37 seconds on all difficulties. This is done to remove a problematic overlap in phase one of the encounter.
    • Calamitous Strike’s debuff will now be removed when the encounter enters intermission on all difficulties.
    • Fixed an issue where Neltharion immediately melee his target after casting Calamitous Strike on all difficulties.

    • Volcanic Heart’s radius reduced from 25 yards to 20 yards on Mythic difficulty.
  • Scalecommander Sarkareth
    • Developers’ note: A series of changes have been made to ease up a bit on the difficulty of this encounter on lower player size raids. Each of these changes are for non-Mythic difficulties only and scale back as raid size increases, evening out to about no changes for the 30 player raid.
    • [With June 6 resets] Health of Sarkareth and Null Glimmers reduced by 6% in 10 player raids.
