Just a day after its release, the new Scarlet Enclave raid for Phase 8 of Season of Discovery has already received some nerfs.
The nerfs are focused primarily on trash mobs and the 2nd boss of the raid. Earlier today, Blizzard posted some tips to help players with this encounter, but it seems they decided that the fight’s difficulty was not solely an issue of strategy.
All trash mobs have had their health reduced, which should reduce some of the tedium of clearing trash. A few enemies have also been removed around the Blacksmith.
The 2nd boss has had its health reduced by a small amount, and many add abilities have been changed to be less punishing. The timing of some mechanics has also been adjusted.
As of this post’s publication, only 17 guilds have logged kills for the 2nd boss in the raid. The guild Btribe is now on the last boss, with 4 guilds behind them at 5/8.
With hotfixes that have gone to all Season of Discovery realms recently today:
Scarlet Enclave
- Health values for non-boss enemies have been significantly reduced across the entire raid.
- The locations of the Mage Tower and Guard Tower lieutenants before the Beatrix encounter now spawn at the base of their towers.
- Removed some of the Artillery enemies around the Blacksmith.
- Beatrix
- The utility, healing, and disruption spells used by Beatrix’s troops have either been cut or reduced in effectiveness. Affected spells include Concussion Shot, Disarm, Shield Slam stun, and Polymorph.
- Beatrix’s health reduced by 5%.
- Adjusted the timing and overlap of her Class Call spells. For example, there are now 4 waves of Scarlet Infantry during Scarlet Phalanx (was 6), 4 waves of Scarlet Cavalry during Thundering Hooves (was 5), and slightly less overlap between Mortar Combat from the Artillery into the Meteor from Scarlet Mages.
- Adjusted the Out of Bounds triggers that could result in a Scarlet Phalanx (Infantry Class Call) gap forcing players to walk out of bounds and take unnecessary damage.
These and other changes will all appear in the next hotfixes update.
