    Dungeons and Raids

    • Castle Nathria
      • Lady Inerva Darkvein
        • Healers are now chosen as a last resort target of Shared Suffering and Concentrate Anima on Raid Finder, Normal, and Heroic difficulties.
        • The ambient damage of Loose Anima for open containers has been reduced on Raid Finder, Normal, and Heroic difficulties.
        • Targets of Shared Suffering no longer take damage from the beams they are wearing on Raid Finder, Normal, and Heroic difficulties. Passing through the opposite edge will continue to damage targeted players.
      • Hungering Destroyer
        • Health reduced by 5% on Mythic difficulty.
        • Reduced the damage players wearing Gluttonous Miasma take by 10% on Mythic difficulty.
        • The damage increase of Essence Sap has been reduced by 20% per stack.
        • Expunge now shows up in the combat log when it is applied to players.
        • Volatile Ejection now shows up as a debuff when a player is targeted with this spell.
      • Sun King’s Salvation
        • Increased the amount of healing Essence Overflow heals Kael’thas to 2.5% of his maximum health on all difficulties (was 2%). The tooltip will be updated to reflect the change in a future hotfix or patch.
        • Increased the healing done bonus from Sinfall Boon to 100% per application on Mythic difficulty (was 50%).
        • Reduced the strength of the Cloak of Flames damage shield on Shade of Kael’thas by 10% on Mythic difficulty.
    • Sanguine Depths
      • Wicked Oppressor’s Wrack Soul cast time increased to 2 seconds (was 1.5 seconds) and is cast less frequently.
      • Regal Mistdancer’s Echoing Thrust damage reduced by 20% and is cast less frequently.
      • General Kaal’s health reduced by 10% during the gauntlet event.

    Thank you very much for your feedback!

    Patch 9.0.5 PTR - Build 37774 - Release Candidate
    Build 37774 will be deployed to the PTR realms soon.

    "General Kaal’s health reduced by 10% during the gauntlet event."

    Well, they took the bosses health and reduced it by 10% during the gauntlet event in the dungeon.

    yeh that much i gathered but her hp during the gauntlet even and her hp when you actually fight her are the same
    so dose that mean she will regain 10% when you actually go to fight her,

    the hotfix still makes no sense as the gauntlet isnt the issue with the fight

    That's what I was wondering. Are they giving the strongest tank in the game ANOTHER defensive?

    I believe its just for the gauntlet portion, 10% of her HP during there will be reduced. You'll fight her with her normal amount during the actual encounter. Also the gauntlet is the worst part of the dungeon one some weeks, so this is welcome.

    Good changes for the Sanguine trash, but I still think the second boss, the one who destroys a lot keys, should be nerfed a bit.

    personally i disagree with that last part but hey people opinions differ

    Thank fuck. The gauntlet was a god damned nightmare with certain affixes (Necrotic).

    Uhm to the last string change.. I noticed that you sometimes get duplicate potency conduits from the calling caches.
    Like 2x conduit x on ilvl 200.
    Then you have to throw one away.
    No big deal i guess, it's just weird.

    I don’t see how the gauntlet gets better with this change.

    The gauntlet’s issue is the mobs, not the boss.

    probably they are tired with VDH having to constantly kite to stay alive ?

    the only and sole reason vengence is strong is because of how godly they are with kiting. if they dont kite they are super squishy

    and guess what - you average players dont know what kiting even is.

    General is the easiest boss in the dungeon, honestly can only remember failing on that boss when someone didn't hide or was taking bleeds to the face. Gauntlet on the other hand can be very very cancerous, it's better after necrotic fix, but still can be dodgy on few affixes.

    Boss gets pushed faster? Currently you either have to take a time loss because boss is so much higher than mobs and you just single target it or pull boss into next pack and potentially get murdered which is ok, but it's nicer to push boss during that pull.

    Just have to deliver one before opening next box.

    I got 2x Magic zone conduit recently.

    god how i hate statements like this

    you had no problems with him on +13 with group that had average itlv of 220 or 205 - because this is the most important information that you purposedly ommited.

    its like if i would tell you that i did +11 SD with multiple mistakes and 10 minutes to spare and ommited that i had it when i did it with group where lowest peron was 215 itlv and group consisted of fire mage boomy Vengence+Havoc DHS - so our burst on trash was godlike. .

    +11 that drops 203 itlv gear.

    i bet diamonds against nuts that your +13 was similiar.

    If that’s the idea I don’t think that 10% will make THAT difference, but I guess we shall see soon enough.

    Well i assume noone at below 210 are doing +10 keys.

    At least i would not dare go that content until properly geared.

    The loot in a calling bag is determined the moment you complete the quest, not when you loot it. Because you're eligible for x conduit when you turn in both quests, both calling bags have the same chance to contain the conduit.

    An easy workaround is to complete 1 calling, open the bag, go learn any conduits you might get, then turn in the next quest and so on.

    You would only expect people to do content when they have better gear than what is dropped by the content?
