World of Warcraft News and Raiding Strategies

With scheduled weekly maintenance (February 16 in this region), we intend to make tuning adjustments to increase the amount of loot rewarded in Castle Nathria, and to improve the ratios of certain types of drops.

Raid

• Castle Nathria
  
  • Bosses now drop 33% more loot than before, in all difficulties.
  • Weapons tokens now drop more often than before, in all difficulties.

10-player raids should now see 2 gear items, and 20-player raids should now see 4 gear items from each boss. These adjustments will not affect other loot that drops in Castle Nathria (such as Legendary Memories or Conduits), nor will there be any impact to drops from raid encounters outside Castle Nathria.

Thank you very much for your feedback!

Covenants

• Necrolord
  
  • Characters who switched to the Necrolord covenant and became stuck in progression should now be able to proceed once again.
    

Dungeons and Raids

• Castle Nathria
  
  • Stone Legion Generals
    
    • Fixed an issue where Heart Rend was not targeting the correct number of players in 10 to 30-member raid sizes on Normal and Heroic difficulties.
      
    • General Grashaal will no longer cast Seismic Upheaval as his first spell in the final phase of Mythic difficulty.

Items and Rewards

• The Frothing Pustule that spawn from the Infinitely Divisible Ooze trinket will now attack Grand Proctor Beryllia in Sanguine Depths.

The Maw

• Fixed an issue where Ikras the Devourer could not be attacked after being pulled onto the bridge in the Beastwarrens.
