In hotfixes pushed late last night, an interesting spell referencing the Jailer appears to have been nerfed. Could this hint at a secret phase? We're speculating if a secret phase exists and what could be in it! Do you think there is a secret phase?

Secret Mythic Jailer Phase?

Yesterday night, Blizzard pushed an interesting set of hotfixes which nerfs the absorb of Diverted Life Shield by 66% and the heal by 25%. This spell directly references the Jailer and Azeroth, but has not been seen in the game. Note: Wowhead's tooltip shows the absorb as the unscaled values, but the ingame tooltip now shows the absorb as 6.8 million after the hotfixes.
