Comment by DynesThank god they changed the time it takes for the devouring blood to hit the ground.Comment by GilganesthWow, is Sinful Projections really that bad in order to be promoted/demoted to be Mythic only?Comment by ArchieAngelTbh I was hoping for another Lords of Dread nerf lolComment by HappensJailor nerfs? The supposedly hardest boss, that was ultimately actually easy, is made even easier? On nm it took me 19 tries with a pug when he first came out and we kept changing members so they had to re-learn the strats every time.Comment by mEqDaitoJailor nerfs?

Like the 30% nerf on lightshatter beam, tanks taking a second shot without immunities or a buttload of cooldowns should be dead, just like dps getting caught in one because of them being unaware.. I mean thats the major heroic difference after all.

But as usual, its pretty obvious why they keep on nerfing. Theyre looking at flat numbers on raid attendance and completion. Without recognizing that in this tier, you can just stop raid progression once you have your 4pc and maybe your BiS weapon or trinket, for example if youre an m+ or a pvp purist.Comment by RedAntisocialJailor nerfs?
