  • (4) Set Bonus: Architect’s Aligner damage and healing reduced by 35%.
  • Developer note: The performance of Architect’s Aligner has become an outlier amongst other tank tier set bonuses in both single- and multi-target situations. Due to this, with weekly maintenance we will be adjusting Architect’s Aligner to bring its performance closer to other bonuses.

Maybe you’re into Mythic+ dungeons. One of these worlds is going to have a dungeon that can be completed a few seconds faster than all the othe...

Greetings!
