With the new Sunken Temple Level-Up Raid in Phase 3 of Season of Discovery by far being the hardest raid since SoD released, Blizzard had early on said that they were prepared to nerf it. While we already saw significant nerfs to boss health across the board just a few days ago, Shade of Eranikus was still putting up a fight for most groups.
Until now! It has been reported that an update went live while players were still in the instance, bringing the boss's health down to 1.45 million. The boss went live with around 4 million HP, which goes to show you how large this nerf really is.
And it seems it's not just the health that was nerfed. Players have reported on Reddit that some of the boss abilities were hit with the nerf bat, and we've been able to gather the data to show exactly which abilities were changed:
There is also one more documented change that we don't know what it is tied to — except that it interacts with the new profession reagents Inert Mantle of Nightmares and Shard of the Void.
Have you been beating your head against the wall on Eranikus? Or perhaps you're still leveling and getting ready for the Sunken Temple raid? Either way, keep an eye on our Overview Guide as we continue to update it with boss guides and loot tables when the information is available.
