Dungeon Tuning Rolling Out

[Hpellipsis-whisperwind (Hpellipsis)]

Can we get a fix to the base UI rating filter when trying to find keys. The field you enter the number into only allows a maximum of 3 digits so you can only filter out keys with rating lower than 999.

And the healer’s.
God forbid you get targeted back to back.

Twilight Warlock’s Enveloping Shadowflame now targets 1 player (was 2).

Just this alone is a righteous change.

[Nermans-zuljin]

Most of those would work towards making it too easy

Specially things like only exploding on the focused target

@Nermans-zuljin

Specially things like only exploding on the focused target

I don’t disagree. It’s just annoying to have a stun lead to an explosion. It gives melee less of an excuse.

[Fauxstrasza-stormrage]

No, you don’t need to be elevated +2-3 key levels.

[Moondoggíe-faerlina]

did they fix time walking or tbc dungeon yet

[Nermans-zuljin]

? What was wrong with that

[Uwumonk-lightbringer]

I still won’t do M+.

But do please keep trying.

[Nermans-zuljin]

Don’t worry, I’ll do twice as many to make up

[Gertt-skull-rock]

I’d rather they fix the “not very fun” stuff. Tuning can wait ofc.

[Fauxstrasza-stormrage]

What is the “not very fun” stuff?

[Gertt-skull-rock]

Ascension hasting the Lavabender’s frontal line attack. – feels too fast, even when you react normally.
Curses going down to 1 per cast, down from 2. (They changed this ofc.) – It wasnt fun because 2 curses = dont bother healing that target
Erudax tentacles were a pain to see.

Stuff like that. Targeted nerfs that make the game less fun. I’d rather die to mechanics I can see and react to in a reasonable amount of time.

[Wetpawwy-doomhammer]

Improved Visibility? They do love us!
No more knock backs on t he SoB Final Boss? I could actually hug you.

[Gaahr-whisperwind (Gaahr)]

@Kaivax

• Siege of Boralus
• Demolishing Terror's Slam no longer knocks players back.

oh sweet lord thank you

[Sploop-wyrmrest-accord]

I remember siege in BFA was the last mythic I ever did in WoW. Was playing a mistweaver and yeah, I don’t like mythics anymore

[Mitsunori-grobbulus]

Please just change the dungeons. They are terrible.

[Delinanna-stormrage (Delinanna)]

Is anything going to be done about the fact that Zekvir is impossible for tanks to do?

Siege of Boralus

• Iron Tide Raider health reduced by 15%.
• Bilge Rat Buccaneer health reduced by 10%.
• Irontide Waveshaper health reduced by 20%.
• Ashvane Sniper health reduced by 10%.
• Scrimshaw Enforcer health reduced by 20%.
• Bilge Rat Tempest’s Choking Waters cast time increased.
• Iron Tide Raider’s Iron Hook ability cooldown increased.
• Iron Tide Raider’s Iron Hook maximum range decreased.
• Bilge Rat Demolisher Crushing Slam’s damage ignores armor and its damage has been reduced by 40%.
• Bilge Rat Demolisher health reduced by 10%.
• Dread Captain Lockwood
  • [hotfix not yet live] No longer faces players during Mass Bombardment.
  • [hotfix not yet live] Clear the Deck now has a cast visual.
• Hadal Darkfathom
  • Health reduced by 5%.
• Viq’Goth
  • Demolishing Terror’s Slam no longer knocks players back.
  • Demolishing Terror’s Slam damage now ignores armor.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the area effect when dispelling Putrid Waters to not scale in Mythic keystones.
  • Developers’ notes: The intent of these changes is to balance the overall length of the dungeon against the timer, while rewarding players for prioritizing high-threat enemies. The adjustments to Viq’goth aim to even out damage across all armor types and eliminate a frustrating aspect of the encounter.

Siege of Boralus is an awful dungeon, it needs way more than that. Added knockback on slam was one of the worst things in S1 dungeon pool, I don’t know why Blizzard added that on PTR and let that through the live. I am glad that Blizzard removed the knockback on slam. There’s some stupid interaction with Iron Hook and swirlies.

Grim Batol

• Twilight Warlock’s Enveloping Shadowflame now targets 1 player (was 2).
• Mutated Hatchling’s Shadow Wound increases Shadow damage taken by 3% per application (was 5%).
• Faceless Corruptor’s Corrupt cast time increased and damage reduced by 10%.
• Twilight Destroyer’s Twilight Ember area denial no longer inflicts damage instantly when stepping into the area.
• Erudax
  • Reduced the visual scale of Erudax to improve visibility during the encounter.
  • Players afflicted with Depth’s Grasp have a brief immunity to Void Tendrils upon expiration.
  • Improved the visibility of Void Tendrils.
  • Mutated Hatchling’s Shadow Wound increases Shadow damage taken by 3% per application (was 5%).

That’s a good target for nerfs because they were too oppressive in the dungeon.

@Kaivax

The Stonevault

• [hotfix not yet live] Void Bound Howlers will now properly reset their health when leaving combat.
• Master Machinists
  • Ability timing has been adjusted to prevent a potentially unfair overlaps between Exhaust Vents and Blazing Crescendo.
  • Molten Metal cast time increased to 3 seconds (was 2 seconds).
  • Silenced Speaker now inflicts damage every 3 seconds (was every 1.5 seconds).

I did +9 SV, Master Machinists is now manageable. Vents and Blazing Crescendo were what wiped the groups before nerfs / fixes. I’d love to see some touch on Skarmorak and Loader’s dots.

The bosses in the City of Thread need a tuning. For example, the last boss in the City of Thread is a personal defensive every 30 seconds. Stitchflesh is still overtuned, triple spears and lust are still required. I wouldn’t surprised if Blizzard decides to make spears not work on bosses and nerfs Abominations. Gatekeeper is still not worth pulling and the count is still bad.

The Dawnbreaker need a lot of bug fixing, affixes can spawn under the ships and the character can go through the ship. The Dawnbreaker has way more bugs than that.
