Season 2 Mythic+ Dungeon Tuning and Animation Improvement Hotfixes
wowhead.comFortified Week is coming up and some hotfixes have nerfed various nasty trash abilities in Season 2 Mythic+ dungeons. In addition, more animation improvements have been added to various abilities!
Animation Improvements Avalanche — Neltharion's LairAvalanche was a notoriously rough spell back in Legion and its finally got an update! Avalanche drops a rock on each player's location the second the cast finishes and there's not a lot of time, forcing players to pre-move to get out of the effect. For newer players, this was really difficult to tell what you died to and felt unfair, so Blizzard has hotfixed in a brown circle to indicate a bad thing is coming. However, unfortunately, no animation was added to the boss which has similar issues to the old Avalanche.
Twister Aura — Vortex PinnacleThey added some animation for Twister Aura from Vortex Pinnacle, which are the Tornadoes on the second boss. However, we haven't seen what this does, if anything.
Ragestorm — Brackenhide HollowA new outline has been added on Ragestorm.
Violent Whirlwind — Brackenhide HollowSimilar to the above, Violent Whirlwind has a distinct outline now.
Static Cling — Vortex PinnacleStatic Cling has a big graphic that flashes when Asaad starts the Static Cling effect. Video by Valrysha
