Expansion: World of Warcraft

The Theater of Pain completion timer in Mythic+ has been increased by a minute. This dungeon has been very punishing in case of wipes, and is the only dungeon featuring 5 bosses this expansion, which contributed to the 37 minutes timer being too short.

In the Sanctum of Domination, in addition to several fixes, the Sylvanas Windrunner encounter’s performance issues have been addressed.
