Ahn'Qiraj Bosses Hotfixed
Two of the most difficult bosses in Ahn'Qiraj - C'thun and Ouro, neither of whom have yet been defeated - have both been hotfixed to make the encounters (presumably!) less difficult. With major PVE raiding guilds on the verge of giving up on the buggy C'thun encounter (see Death and Taxes and Elitist Jerks for examples), CM Drysc posted regarding changes to both encounters. If you approach either of these two bosses in the future expect the following:
Ouro's Quake effects deal significantly less damage
Lowered hit points for C'thun's Giant Claw Tentacles and Giant Eye Tentacles
Decreased damage from C'thun's Ground Rupture ability, which should also now be resistible
Significantly decreased melee damage from C'thun's Giant Eye Tentacles
The faction changing debuff applied to players in C'thun's stomach should no longer appear
Tentacles should no longer spawn in C'thun's stomach
A player in C'thun's stomach can no longer be the target of C'thun's Eye Beam
Will this be enough to encourage disheartened guilds who have been wiping for over a month on the C'thun encounter? This seems the way of many of the game's major bosses thus far... Ragnaros was impossible, until the encounter was tweaked by Blizzard. Nefarian was impossible, until the encounter was tweaked by Blizzard. Does it surprise anyone that C'thun is impossible in the same way?
