Ragnaros – Heroic Difficulty still grants its old 25% Health and Damage bonuses in addition to its current effects
Hero: Ragnaros
Talent: Heroic Difficulty — Level 20
Description:
The current version of Heroic Difficulty still appears to retain the entire functionality of its old version.
After selecting the talent, Molten Core receives:
-
25% increased maximum Health
-
25% increased damage
Neither of these bonuses is mentioned in the current talent description.
The current effects of Heroic Difficulty also function normally, meaning that the talent effectively provides both its current functionality and the old 25% Health/Damage bonuses at the same time.
Steps to reproduce:
-
Enter Try Mode as Ragnaros.
-
Reach Level 20.
-
Before selecting Heroic Difficulty:
-
Enter Molten Core.
-
Record Molten Core’s maximum Health.
-
Record the damage of its abilities.
-
-
Select Heroic Difficulty.
-
Enter Molten Core again.
-
Compare its maximum Health and ability damage with the previous values.
Expected result:
Heroic Difficulty should only provide the effects listed in its current tooltip.
Molten Core’s maximum Health and base damage should remain unchanged unless explicitly stated by the talent.
Actual result:
After selecting Heroic Difficulty:
-
Molten Core gains approximately 25% maximum Health.
-
Molten Core abilities deal approximately 25% more damage.
-
The talent’s current listed effects also continue to work normally.
This means that both the old and current versions of Heroic Difficulty are effectively active simultaneously.
Possible cause:
When Heroic Difficulty was reworked, its old functionality — 25% increased Molten Core Health and Damage — may not have been removed from the talent implementation.
This looks like leftover functionality from the previous version of the talent rather than a tooltip-only issue.
