Having already beaten the Legion story line and having started to work my way through BFA content, I normally only returned to Legion to do the world quests in the desperate attempt to reach exalted with the different factions in order to unlock the allied races. (I’d been unsubbed for a bit and fell behind)
So I was excited to hear about the rep boost for WQ’s in legion in the 8.1 patch. Logged in once the system was back up and started questing and went to do the Dungeon World Quest for the Warden’s Vault and was…completely crushed by the first boss. I was shocked as this was a dungeon I have solo’ed many a time. I’ve yet to try another, but, has this recent patch removed the ability to solo the old Legion dungeons on normal? Because that will be such a pain, especially given they can’t be qued for anymore and creating a group tends to leave you waiting around for hours because people are focusing on BFA content.
Is it just me, or is the game being buggy so soon after the patch?

ive heard reports of Nightbane in Kara 2.0 having been buffed big time as well
Yea, I just ran Maw of Souls on normal which before today I was able to solo on a survial hunter in about 10 minutes. It now takes me a little longer and a lot more work, so I think the dungeons might have been buffed a bit to try and prevent too much solo running.
Shame, cause that’s going to ruin Legion runs for those of us that still did them from time to time and make rep grinding far more annoying.
on the weekend i was able to solo nightbane on my 344ilvl shaman, and only needed to heal a few times. Just tried it now and died while spam healing. The regular bosses seemed to take a little longer. im going to try and do it again but it seems like there was a buff to everything.
Edit: yeah i was not able to do it, got him to about 50% when he spawns his adds and that was it for me.
At least its not me then that somehow forgot how to dungeon solo overnight.
I understand the theory behind it, not wanting people to be able to solo dungeons and wanting to them to play with other players to get it done. But if that’s the case, they should make it so you can que for at the very least the legion dungeons. The custom made LFG just takes way, way too long. Shame =/
I don’t think they ment to change it. This happens all the time and they usually fix it quickly.
I hope so. Not that its a huge deal, but it makes the rep grind a little easier when you don’t have to wait two hours to get a group to raid the dungeon with you, lol.
A couple days late but yeah i’m gonna say that they’ve been buffed a bit, seems like they take less damage and deal more to the tank. Last week in Halls of Valor i could tank the entire right side going to Fenrir. I hope it get’s fixed or else there’s really no more reason to dungeon over quest once you get to legion.
Couldn’t even duo nightbane even though I could solo the fight before the patch. It’s way overtuned for level 120s. Hope this isn’t permanent.
Nightbane in particular is TWICE his previous health and hits like a truck. I solo old content for fun, xmog, mounts, achieves. Now I just log off after emissaries. I’ve made a few posts on this change to Legion NPC health/damage increases and have yet to see a blue chime in and explain why this was done and their intent behind it. If it’s to make us play longer, it failed. I just log off and go play better games.
