Some changes for the instances.
Some dungeon bosses are behaving differently. These are some examples I've noticed. • r/wow
Maw of Souls

Maw of Souls
- Helya casts her Brackwater Barrage more frequently, and the cast time is reduced. In the time she would have casted it once, she did it three times in my last run.
- Harbaron's Nether Rip has a different, more noticeable visual.
- Ularogg Cragshaper's Strike of the Mountain is affecting multiple players instead of one. Pretty nasty considering you can get up to 4 at once that affect melee as well.
- The health of Dargrul's Molten Charskin add has been greatly increased.
- Dresaron's Down Draft pushes you back much faster. It might also be doing more damage but I didn't notice it at the time.
- Not a boss, but the spiders that explode when killed, now have a delayed explosion with a ground effect that allows you to see how big it is.
- Ivanyr's Arcane Blast can be interrupted.
- The Storm Drakes arrive more frequently, breathe faster and deal more damage.
- The orbs spawned from Odyn's Shatter Spears are significantly larger.
- The pack of vrykul on the far right end of the corridor leading to Hyrja are gone.
- Dantalionax's lasers can travel clockwise around the room.
- Amalgam of Souls' Soul Burst has a shorter cast time.
- The first pack of spiders is gone.
- The doors leading to Glazer and Ash'golm don't open until either they or their mini boss die (eg: Glazer's door doesn't open until he or the shivarra dies).
- The real target of Attumen's Intangible Presence has a more noticeably larger ghost around them.

Hmm, this scaling to ilevel thing may just break my addiction to wow permanently. First Furor assfucks us all in WoD with that no flying bullshit, now he's forgetting another of the core rules of MMOs, let players outlevel shit.

So I guess Blizzard got all butt hurt about their ilvl scaling that people were just taking off their rings so they made mobs scale off your bag level instead. So now people are vendoring their rings and buying them back. They really thought this ilvl scaling bullshit through. If only there was a test realm on which changes like this could be tested that was public.

I don't know why autists are still complaining about this, they removed the extra dmg mobs were doing and mobs having 200k more health isn't a problem outside of like being annoying in Suramar city

I mean yeah I guess but the point is they actually changed it this morning, I think with the dmg increase from the new artifact power makes it irrelevant and they probably thought that too. Something they probably should've considered sharing in the patch notes, though.

Because it's a retarded change that's a solution in search of a problem. Who gives a fuck if people can farm 6 month old bear ass quests too fast, isn't that the whole point of gearing up outside of raiding? Apparently it's this huge issue that they had to stealth patch and lie about it.

The real issue is the stealth stuff. As in, "we know everything is going to be discovered anyway, but we wanted people not to worry".
The insta-gib was a real problem, however. If you have a non-elite around, there's a bunch of classes that are going to kill them within 2s. That was to the point that you need to open fight with an insta ability, no matter what. And then fuck if you're a class with cooldown on your insta spells.
I'm not near as negative on the Broken Shores content as everyone, but what annoys me are the bugs. It's clear they didn't do enough testing and pushed out the content much faster than they should have. Were people really complaining about lack of content with NH already? Guldan LFR just opened a few weeks ago. This screams of some program manager looking at the schedule that was put together a year ago and realizing they had a milestone coming up (release 7.2) and pushing engineering to deliver "at risk". Instead, they should have "listened to their customer" and realized another few weeks would have had 0 impact on the product but pushing out a buggy mess just destroyed any momentum they were hoping to gain with this content patch.

My only problem with broken shore is right now it feels devoid and empty of anything meaningful. I mean I went there for about 30 minutes yesterday to do my dailies (fuuuuuck why is this a thing again) but that's it. There's nothing in the goddamn zone.
