Everything doesn’t need to be easier and accessible to everyone.

I’m not surprised by the Ulatek nerfs but making him easier than Altar is a strange choice. Just tuning blight vein down and making a couple less waves would have gone pretty far.

You could also say, everything shouldn’t be accessible to a small percentage

Heroic Altar has been a cake walk since their last nerfs on it. Half decent pugs are one shotting it.

Does this coincide with weekly bonus rolls? Or was that pushed back?

A bit of a strange choice to nerf Ulatek p3 on mythic when many described it as easier than heroic moreover when Coiled altar mythic has more guilds stuck on it (about 500+) and that it’s p2 is considered probably one of the worse design. So I guess Ulatek mythic is easier than coiled by a meaningful amount.

Yea, they’re hard nerfing the wrong boss.

Ulatek can use a little whack, but this is extremely excessive for how relatively early this season still is.

Every guild progging Ulatek is asking their members if they can raid tomorrow as we speak.

While appreciated, Coiled Altar remains an especially punishing encounter, especially for smaller raid groups. Some balance adjustments would go far there.

You guys forgot about the coiled altar nerfs.

Kind of a rough look for you, everybody who’s currently raiding mythic understands that coiled altar needs these nerfs more than any other boss, yet you decide to nerf P3 on ulatek, the phase that is widely considered easier than heroic?

You don’t even need to play the game yourself, there’s vast amounts of feedback from qualified people, why ignore it?

Can you nerf the tank buster in LFR that wipes the raid. People use it for griefing

The washed up boomers cried that hard about a fight that isn’t even all that difficult?

Sad.
