Icecrown Citadel “hotfixes”
by Sunfyre on Mar.05, 2010, under General
Apparently nerfs to the encounter are now being called “hotfixes”. The following nerfs were applied to ICC:
- In the Lord Marrowgar encounters, the boss will no longer reset threat after a bone storm and will now wait a small amount of time before attacking at the end of a bone storm.
- In the Deathbringer Saurfang encounters, the boss is now less likely to cast Blood Nova on targets affected by Mark of the Fallen Champion.
- In both normal and heroic versions of the 10 player Rotface encounter, the mutated infection ability will not be cast as quickly while the fight progresses.
- In the 10- and 25-player heroic Festergut encounters, the malleable goo ability should no longer target pets.
- In the Valithria Dreamwalker encounters, the duration of Emerald Vigor and Twisted Nightmares were slightly increased.
- In the Sindragosa encounters, the duration of the instability debuff was slightly reduced.

Latest on Thu, 09:38 pm: They just updated the 4pc T13 again. 10% Bonus damage and 5 seconds reduced CD.
: Btw, it's not worth it to acctually refresh your dot when it proc...just play as if it's a normal weap... The 2,5 sec you loose refreshing your dot could have been used to get more eclipse utpime and thus benefiting from Nature's grace, which is more important.
: It pretty much averages out to 300 haste all the time, which isnt bad, but you're right it's hard to predict when it'll proc and casting dots accordingly. I feel the extra haste to the raid is worth it though.
: our 4 set bonus has been changed to 10% increased starsurge dmg
: Buffing T13 4 piece set bonus! Yay we can finally use our new tier set.

I’m not sure if you copied this directly from another source, but Malleable Goo is a Putricide ability, not Festergut.

You’re right, and Putricide tosses malleable goo at the raid in the heroic Festergut encounter.

A lot of people have mixed feelings about the recent raid wide buff and these hotfixes, I welcome some of them, others feel a bit excessive and unnecessary.

With the implementation of the zone-wide buff it seems like the same pattern we had prior to the last two expansions.
Allthough a 30% buff/nerf to the instance? seems a bit much I guess it’ll serve a purpose of keeping people interested in raiding untill Cataclysm comes closer.

In other news… ICC will shortly be renamed to Upper Blackrock Spire and General Draks blood will no longer be required to access Onyxia.
Wait…
