Kind of annoying that you guys only care about Mythic raiders. Normal and Heroic are overtuned and not fun.

Heroic jailer dmg is a little on the high side if you ask me, but other than that I feel heroic is fine.

JFC. They’re deleting all difficulty of Halondrus. Nerfed to heroic difficulty so early in the tier.

The HoF isn’t even done.

8

At the current rate it would have taken 7 months to fill it. They had to do something.

Damn, they just took the crab out back and blew his brains out.

Certainly not complaining, though; we just got to him and I wasn’t looking forward to spending 3-4 weeks on Halondrus at ALL.

Wow that certainly is a nerf to Halondrus, not sure I agree with the boss losing any measure of difficulty.

11

These nerfs were much needed and I welcome them. I’m expecting even more nerfs to come soon. Please don’t disappoint me Blizzard.

PLEASE DO NOT NERF HALONDRUS.

If you MUST nerf it please only do the 10% HP nerf to help guilds 5 heal and push without second reclaim.

The fight is very fun and is absolutely ruined otherwise. You take a 200 pull boss and make it a 50-60 pull boss with those nerfs.

We will be farming this content for a LONG time until 10.0. Please let it stay hard until at least 9.2.5 before nerfs of this size.

Yeah, halondrus is a good spot to nerf for the alliance HoF specifically. Horde already has ~250 guilds with a kill, but alliance is still sitting sub 50.

16

Plot out where we are now with HoF vs all prior tiers.

17

There is absolutely no way any guild takes 50-60 pulls to kill Halondrus after nerf. With the combined HP nerf you won’t even get a single reclaim. You skip first reclaim, skip second reclaim and can solo bombs in the intermission basically.

The fight has unironically gone from a 200~ Pull boss to a 5-15 pull boss. If you could kill lihuvim you kill this in 15 pulls now. The fight got clowned.

I think most of the guilds that will be starting prog on halondrus in the coming weeks likely aren’t guilds who do mechanics particularly well xD

But yea, with these changes the fight is a literal meme. Second intermission will still take some prog because there are actual bomb swaps even with 30s timers

They’re overtuned until you get your 4 piece. It really is night and F’ing day for alot of specs. Marksmen feels broken and worthless without it now that i have it.
