Comment by NinslyGreat changes!Comment by couchpotato2013Oh no crab got nerfed how ever will I be able to parasocially communicate with world first raiders in twitch chats killing a nerfed boss. How dreadful.Comment by Lakeseonbaeits crazy they're just going to leave the most played spec in the game in the terrible state it's inComment by Erilla94Great change for Halondrus <3Comment by gh0sth4ndits crazy they're just going to leave the most played spec in the game in the terrible state it's inComment by duranoxThe HC anduin nerfs are kinda weird since atm his main difficulty comes from how horrible he is in small raid sizes. Just scaling damage and health values doesn't really make the fight harder or easier when you get 3 domination words, 3 stars and a barrier at the same time with only 1 healer to deal with it.Comment by WaterGlaiveThe HC anduin nerfs are kinda weird since atm his main difficulty comes from how horrible he is in small raid sizes.

Oh well! Won't miss it, any second less of hearing my raid leader shout over a wipe is a win.Comment by RelapsesI'll never cease to be amused by players who've barely attempted LFR versions of these bosses crying foul about nerfs to bosses they never had any intention of killing anyway.Comment by HushugguhFinally some more nerfs. Keep them coming. Raid is still very overtuned. Why is earlier bosses are left untouched?

I want to be able to do quick refarm and spend more time progressing. With current tuning on early bosses this is next to impossible.
The only somewhat decently tuned boss is Skolex, rest could use some massive nerfs...Phase changes were especially problematic at Halondrus, I thought any change would happen there, like despawn the relics during the chase.

Now it's just going to fall over :-(Comment by Reitaexi tought the "Massive nerfs" was some clickbait but they werent lying lol Holonrus is now brain death WR 2k guild materialComment by zugzugzuugmeh the race is over so i dont mind the nerfs its all about getting the mount from the jailer anywaysComment by Vyngeanceits crazy they're just going to leave the most played spec in the game in the terrible state it's inComment by lovelywazI am glad that I stopped raiding a while ago. Once you out gear the raids (or clear them after massive nerfs like above), it becomes super boring tedious repetitive week in week out until you either take break or next patch comes in.Comment by TheNaturalI am glad that I stopped raiding a while ago.

If you were gonna do heavy nerfs but still keep it relatively hard, I would have done this:

Time required for Volatile Charges to trigger a Charge Detonation increased to 30 20 seconds (was 10 seconds) in Mythic difficulty.
Charge Exposure duration increased to 32 24 seconds (was 16 seconds) in Mythic difficulty.

And keep the rest of the nerfs the same.Comment by Snowy6I rather liked the raid buff you got in some raid (can not remember which one), each week it got stronger and if you did not want the buff you could talk to an npc and turn it off.Comment by trunz510People crying over them nerfing bosses that damn well deserve one lmao. I get it if you've wiped on the boss 100-200+ times and now it'll just fall over, but the problem with the game is the fact that mythic bosses are so challenging. One person messing up a mechanic and its a wipe most of the time. Wonder why practically nobody wants to raid mythic? It's cause nobody wants to spend their precious time dealing with the 1-2 people making the same mistakes. And I get it, people make mistakes. I do too, but they tune these bosses for world first raiders which isn't healthy for the game. Raid mechanics have just gotten increasingly harder ever since Cataclysm. And I know people want challenging content, but make the last 2-3 bosses super challenging if anything. Not the 6th boss out of the 11 in the raid. Any guild that could kill Mythic Halondrus in his prenerf state would literally faceroll the next few until they get to Anduin. And then Anduin is harder than the next few! The tuning on some of these bosses legit make no sense. And for the bruhs that are ready to smash their hand through their monitor reading this comment, no I havent raided mythic sepulcher so yea my opinion doesn't matter.
