Presence of the Dragon Soul begins March 18

WoW Classic Cataclysm Classic Discussion
1

Starting next Tuesday, March 18, with the weekly content reset, all enemies in Dragon Soul will be affected by the “Presence of the Dragon Soul” aura, reducing their health and damage by 5%.

Every two weeks thereafter, this health and damage reduction will increase by an additional 5%, culminating in a total 30% reduction by the end of May.

If players wish for an extra challenge and want to fight the enemies of the Dragon Soul raid without the aid of this aura, they may speak to Lord Devrestrasz inside the raid at the entrance and request that he remove it.

I thought it was going to be a % buff to the players not hp/dmg nerf to bosses?

You can use your big boy words and just say it’s time to launch mist of pandaria. Don’t bother with finesse and just say it with your chest.

What happened to the 8 weeks before a nerf we had in TBC or in ICC? This feels way too rushed and probably gonna tank Cata numbers before MoP even launches

Cool, will probably come back to prep for MOP. Seems like it’s coming sooner than expected with this announcement.

A good amount of servers still have a thriving population, people knew it going to reduce during DS though, the raid takes a major step up in difficulty and a lot of classic players don’t want to progress through bosses like Spine for multiple hours per raid. I personally think DS is a solid raid.

WAY too fast - this is only the start of the third full week of DS - plenty of guilds didn’t even raid the first half-week due to the release schedule.

People saying “Too fast” is funny. Just turn off the buff. You can do that. It can be never for your group.

Yeah. We do. We want to prog Dragon Soul. At this point it’s either you PTRed or you basically have your prog killed by this buff.
