WoW Hotfixes August 9th: Mythic+ Balance Changes

featuredimage august 9 hotfix

Every dungeon has received some changes this week, except for Spires of Ascension. In De Other Side, the Enraged Spirit’s Rage duration has been reduced. The Halls of Atonement timer has been increased by one minute, which has been the shortest feeling timer this season. The first boss of the Theater of Pain will be significantly less dangerous, and players will have 3 more seconds to deal increased damage to the first boss of Mists of Tirna Scithe.

In the Sanctum of Domination raid, Painsmith Raznal has been one of the hardest bosses of this tier on Mythic difficulty. As such, there is now a gap in every row of spikes, and the health of Painsmith Raznal, Spiked Balls, and Shadowsteel Horrors has been reduced by 10%, only on Mythic difficulty.

Stygia rewards from dailies in the Maw have been increased, and Marksmanship, Mistweaver, and Affliction specializations have received several buffs in PvP content.
