•The captured drakes in this encounter now apply Dragon's Vengeance when they are killed instead of when they are freed. To account for this change, the health and damage of the drakes has been reduced, and the damage bonus gained from Dragon's Vengeance has been increased.

this is bad right;p?

i mean the big smite heals wont work till all the drakes are dead now

Actually makes the fight much easier on hardmode. His health is quite a bit lower, the dragons seem to go down fast and they each stack 100% dmg instead of 50%.

It doesn't really matter so much how be buff is applied as the hardest bit of the fight is post 50% when you're getting stunned. If the drakes are doing less damage (its what usually kills tanks during the furious roar) then its pretty much a nerf all round anyway.

Seems like a nerf, the only difference is you'll have to spam heals until the first drake drops instead of smite from the start. Once a single drake is down you're back to almost capped atonements.
