    Nice, Heroic P1 felt overly punishing for average groups.

    Wow nerfs across the board.

    I have to wonder if they've also nerfed her ability to tank peoples FPS into the toilet as well

    I'm usually not the one who complain about nerfs but is it really needed with nerfs for HC? The fight seems really well tuned and it's easily out geared tbh.

    You must be new to the game. Happens every tier. They let the best of the best fight the hardest of the hard, and then the casuals go in thinking they are amazing getting Cutting Edge achievements on a turbo nerfed boss. See Firelands Ragnaros if you don't believe me.

    I mean... chances are very high that if you haven't killed her by now, you are in fact a casual. Plenty of casual mythic raiding going on.

    And if you've already killed her then it's whatever, easier and cleaner farming.

    If you easily outgear Ansurek heroic already, you are far ahead of the curve of the average heroic raider and this nerf is not targeted at you.

    Most heroic raids have a few players being carried which is not a problem normally, raiding below mythic still is a social endeavor for most. If they died phase 1 it was a wipe.

    The tuning of this fight is actually pretty horrible, and I don't even mean the level of difficulty. This fight is all about p1; people wipe there endlessly, and as soon as they're able to get a couple of tries in p2 and p3, they kill it. The reason for that is, of course, application of Frothy Toxin. It doesn't matter if you loose a player or two in p2 or p3; but in p1, it's a wipe.

    So you need to be perfect in p1; and then you can make plenty of mistakes in p2 and p3 and still kill it. The learning curve of this fight is weird.
