Even though most folks are gonna be busy with TWW from now on, I just wanna make these lines in today’s hotfix notes more visible for anyone who may be interested:
It took until now for it to happen and it was their fault in the first place, but they finally went in and readjusted these instances after 11.0 massively buffed them. I honestly expected them to just leave it as it was. Thanks for proving me wrong, Blizz!
EDIT: SL also turns on legacy loot when you reach level 71!
Honestly, I’m pleasantly surprised it was fixed instead of doubling down that it was intended.
Yeah, now I’ll actually feel more powerful at 80 instead of just getting back to where I was before the prepatch!
This pleases me.
i ran some dungeons earlier and it feels like they may have fixed a few things, hopefully
I appreciate you. I didn’t notice this, and am now thinking of trying for those mogs and mounts I’ve avoided going for.
That’s great. Is legacy loot enabled for SL raids? I don’t want to run Nathria and get nothing.
wow i will have to test this tomorrow afternoon.
When did they make this change ? Cuz i couldnt kill the worm boss on mythic Nylotha, since i couldnt get him down too fast cuz he heals
Hrmm. So was SL made legacy? So even if I were say…not getting above leveling 70 for a few more days, they would be soloable now?
For Drest’agath, you may need to get a debuff from one of the adds that allows you to counter his healing. Aside from that he’s pretty easy, just may not be zergable without that debuff depending on gear.
I’ve yet to do any SL stuff myself period, so I can’t really say. Some of it was soloable in 10.2.7 so it should be once again, but I think it’s still pretty gear dependent. SL also doesn’t have legacy loot, so you’ll be getting a max of one item per boss anyway without that and usually nothing at all. But at least legacy loot is enabled starting at level 71, so if there’s anything you’re able to clear it’ll be a lot faster to collect appearances now!
Ah ok. So not legacy just yet. They didn’t buff player damage to do 10 million per hit like I do in legion raids for example. My guild would sometimes do SL mog runs and it was always multiple drops that required rolls, rather than personal loot. I think the last time I did a BFA raid in a group (before it was recently made legacy) it was still basically personal loot and we would just trade drops to each other. The changes to transmog is going to put a hell of a kink in that though.
oh thank god
But can someone solo N’Zoth or G’hunn? I tried G’hunn and it took me a month to find my missing boot.
I wouldn’t count on seeing any ‘legacy buff’ like you’re thinking of for BfA or beyond until we see another stat squish, since that’s what these ‘buffs’ are supposed to compensate for. BfA is trivial enough to be comfortable in its current state, given that basically nothing can kill you and all of the anti-solo mechanics are gone now.
Mythic Ny’alotha took me nearly two hours to clear on my first run in 11.0 (it was also only my second run ever, so I’m not super experienced with it yet), which is long as hell for a legacy raid, but that was only because of how much health everything had. I was never in danger of dying and usually wasn’t even taking damage through my meager shadow-spec absorb shield lol
But now that everything’s more or less back to how it was in 10.2.7, it’ll be a lot faster!
I just 20 minutes ago tried this. I did all mythic nyalotha but he seems impossible
Guess I’ll be back to farming some old raids once I ding 80.
Mythic N’zoth is easy. Mythic G’huun is difficult but doable if you’re over 500 ilvl (being able to heal yourself is also helpful). And that was last week before the nerfs. I’m sure it’s significantly easier now.
Shadowlands raids are not considered Legacy right now, at least not at level 70. I wonder if it’ll trigger at level 80 or Blizzard just forgot to hit the switch.
So fixed as in “the needless buff was reverted” but not as in “certain mechanics were fixed?”
If so, don’t get excited about SL yet.
end of WW for sure
