After the holidays, Blizzard are now back in action and been looking at M+ directly. We got 2 days back to back of hotfixes related to Mythic plus dungeons. Here are all the changes that took place on the first week of this year.
Algeth’ar Academy
-
- Increased the amount of time between abilities, particularly in relation to Burst Forth.
- Developers’ Note: The combination of Germination and Burst Forth is the most dangerous part of the encounter. We hope by giving this moment more space, players will be better able to prepare for and recover from it
Overgrown Ancient
- Increased the amount of time between abilities, particularly in relation to Burst Forth.
Azure Vaults
-
- Fixed an issue where using an immunity on Icy Devastator would cause the next Frost Bomb to happen sooner

- Reduced the additional damage of Slicing Maelstrom to players within 7 yards by 30%.
