World of Warcraft hotfixes for September 10

World of Warcraft hotfixes

Some new patch 6.2.2 hotfixes have been released and posted to the official blog. Included in the latest bunch are a fairly substantial set of nerfs to Archimonde on Normal and Heroic difficulty. These hotfixes are designed to reduce the difficulty of the encounter, specifically for smaller raid sizes — larger raids should see very little change in the difficulty of the encounter. All of the Archimonde hotfixes will, however, require a realm restart to take effect. Read on for the full list of hotfixes.

  • Archimonde
    • All of the following Archimonde encounter changes requires a realm restart to take effect.
    • We have made a number of changes aimed at reducing the difficulty of the Archimonde encounter for smaller raid groups on Normal and Heroic difficulty, with a focus on the final phase of the encounter in particular. These changes are offset by increased scaling with respect to raid size, so that the experience for larger raid groups will be mostly unchanged.

      • Shadowed Netherwalker’s health has been reduced by up to 15%.
      • Living Shadow’s health has been reduced by up to 15%.

      • Reduced the damage of Shackled Torment by up to 20%.
      • Living Shadows now spawn from each Nether Tear at a reduced rate for smaller raid sizes.
    • Added a 3-second cooldown to the periodic healing of Eternal Flame, preventing Infernal Doombringers from healing other Infernal Doombringers until 3 seconds after spawning on all difficulties.
    • Archimonde’s health has been reduced by 10% on Raid Finder difficulty.
