It’s been two weeks since the opening of Mythic Nerub-ar Palace and a few days since the world first clear by Liquid, so it comes as no surprise that the Mythic version of the first raid of The War Within is now getting some nerfs.
The nerfs are starting with Broodtwister Ovi’nax and Nexus-Princess Ky’veza, the fifth and sixth bosses of the raid. Currently, these two bosses are presenting the largest bottleneck for groups attempting to clear the raid on Mythic difficulty. As of the writing of this article, only 75 guilds have killed Broodtwister Ov’nax while a mere 12 have downed Nexus-Princess Ky’veza, compared to 958 kills on Rasha’nan, the fourth boss. It’s very likely that we’ll see some nerfs to The Silken Court and Queen Ansurek after more groups have progressed to that point. Right now, only three guilds have killed the final boss of the raid, and it took them each over 400 pulls to do so.
In addition to the raid nerfs, there are nerfs for some Mythic dungeons, primarily Grim Batol. There are also some buffs included for several trinkets and multiple fixes for Warlock abilities.
Here you’ll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to World of Warcraft: The War Within, Cataclysm Classic, Season of Discovery, WoW Classic Era, and Hardcore. Some of the hotfixes below take effect the moment they were implemented, while others may require scheduled realm restarts to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. This list will be updated as additional hotfixes are applied.
