Healer Adjustments in Season 4

So this is different than my first once, hence the title.
So 2 questions on this.
Question 1: When prepatch hits will N'Zoth still drop 2 mounts until Shadowlands actually launches?
Question 2: Has anyone actually tested trying to kill N'zoth with the level squish and with the taking away of corruption? Just wondering how much harder or possibly easier it is. (Not trying to reprog a fight)
Thx in advance.

N'zoth will drop mount up to SL release(just no CE).

We won't know until it's out, as I doubt anyone has bothered to test it. I remember Archimonde being a joke post 7.0, but Argus was a bit of a bugger. Hopefully Blizzard overly nerf it so we can just go in & trash it one or two more times before Shadowlands hits Originally Posted by Jameslold

yea without corruption its deff going to have to get nerfed somehow because all classes rely heavily on corruption for their damage... Imagine a fire mage with no mastery corruption... GG 0 dps. Originally Posted by Toybox

For sure, but there's a difference between them balancing it to be somewhat similar to what it is on live & overnerfing it so it's trivial - I'm hoping it's the latter Originally Posted by thesimpsonsman
Just like going into MH/BT in 3.0.2 with the 30% (?) flat nerf to everything.

Even if N'Zoth is harder in pre-patch, it will be an oversight, pre-patch always comes with nerfs to encounters (Relative, not even just because things are squished).
Everything will get squished down, a nerf will happen to mitigate corruption (Which I think has been datamined, something like 25 or 30% nerf to the whole raid), and then things will be nerfed a little bit more, and if it's not player power with the new talents/rebalancing of specs will have made us stronger relative.
It might be harder the first day or few days but if it will pretty much certainly be fixed to be easier in pre patch than it is today.

No idea if it's exactly 2 mounts in pre-patch(for 100% it will drop mount, just not sure if it's 1 or 2). But if I had to guess then yeah. Originally Posted by thesimpsonsman

So now that pre-patch is live, I've been hearing Nzoth is impossible. Can anyone confirm?

Judging by kill times it looks like it's about the same, or slightly harder than before pre-patch. Originally Posted by Video Games

Damage required to beat the encounter feels about the same, maybe slightly lower than the benchmarks being hit with full corruptions.
But the damage going out to the players feels a lot higher. Healers are having to put in some real work to keep things stable.
It did feel slower in some noticeable spots, such as thought harvesters living much longer than normal and psychophages everywhere. Likely a result of ignite going byebye. So, its harder, but nothing impossible.

I've got another question about N'zoth where I've heard conflicting answers about the pre-patch period, and would like to hear an answer from someone who has killed it during the pre-patch - Does the R4 Essence still drop during pre-patch (like the mount does), or has that R4 essence already gone away? (Some R4's aren't obtainable anymore since the pre-patch, but other R4's apparently are sticking around until Shadowlands itself drops).
I've actually got the same question for Azshara's R4 essence, but I've not heard of anyone even bothering to try her since prepatch.
