WoW SoD Phase 6 Hotfixes
These changes aim to streamline gameplay and tweak the iconic boss mechanics that have frustrated and exhilarated players for years.
General Changes
- 🎉 Tarnished Undermine Real drops in Molten Core and Blackwing Lair got a significant boost, now hitting 3 per boss (up from 1) – more loot for everyone!
- 💰 The cost of the Damaged Undermine Supply Crate has jumped to 10 (from 5). But hey, it’ll guarantee you fresh crafting goodies from Ahn’Qiraj along with your supplies!
- 🍕 Party buffs are finally being nice – using world buff consumables won’t prevent your raid from munching on some snacks. Finally!
Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj
- No more interruptions! Activating an Obelisk inside the raid won’t mess with your munch time anymore.
- The Descent into Madness activation Obelisk has been moved under your feet, right below that big water pipe. Jump on it! You know you want to.
- Boss health has been dialed back for Moam and Ayamiss, so get ready for an easier fight!
- Non-boss enemy drops are now available from the first three Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj bosses. Woohoo, more loot!
Temple of Ahn’Qiraj
- Again with the munchies – activating an Obelisk here won’t force you to stop eating or drinking. They really thought of everything!
- Ouro won’t summon the pesky Eye of C’thun unless Descent into Madness is active anymore. Major relief!
- The Noxious Burst spell fix ensures it now correctly damages targets on detonation. It’s about time!
C’thun
- Tentacles won’t mess with your flow while C’thun is vulnerable in Phase 2 anymore! Less chaos means more DPS!
- Digestive Acid stacks are back to their original chaotic levels. Good luck managing that!
- Spawn frequency for tentacles has been reduced, giving raiders a breather. Oh, thank the Light!
