MMO-Champion - Dragon Soul Difficulty Change - 30% on July 17
Dragon Soul Difficulty Change - 30%
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Once scheduled server maintenance is completed during the week of July 17, the "Power of the Aspects" spell will grow more powerful, reducing the health and damage dealt of all enemies in the Dragon Soul raid by 30%. This spell has grown progressively stronger over time to reduce difficulty and make the encounters more accessible. The spell will affect both normal and Heroic difficulties. It will not affect the Raid Finder difficulty.

If you don’t need the help of the Dragon Aspects, the spell can be disabled by talking to Lord Afrasastrasz at the beginning of Dragon Soul.

We hope you continue to enjoy Dragon Soul, and that these changes encourage you to attempt a higher difficulty, or just keep pushing to take down that next boss.

    Taking into consideration the slackers/idiots/bads, i'd actually be inclined to say yes.

    Looks like my guild might break our personal record of 1hr 40mins on DS 25HC.

    Yep, and while you're at it, turn down all the good free stuff that is ever offered to you in life, just because you have the option. Because that'll totally happen

    35% is max so MoP is coming in 2-3 months.

    If you can't beat heroic Madness with 30%, you should be required to uninstall the game at this point.

    Still, good news for the guilds still progressing, we definitely have some of those on Ursin.

    FYI - Nethaera just had this to say in response to a comment on the blog post (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/6688645#comments):

    Incendiara: "/tinfoil hat on
    I believe the nerf is configured to go up to 35%. Since they've been increasing it by 5% in roughly 1-month intervals, does this mean that it'll go up to 35% in mid-August, with MoP to release on September 18?? /tinfoil hat off"

    Nethaera: "@Incendiara: We'll see when the time comes whether or not we think it's necessary."
