Undocumented Season 4 Mythic+ Changes - Abilities Now Scaling with Keystone Level
From Mythic+ testing on the PTR, players have discovered some large undocumented Mythic+ changes for the Season 4 dungeons.
Thanks to Tarithal, Dorki, Yoda, Kyrasis, Xepheris and Arty for helping compile these changes.
Documented Changes
Algeth'ar Academy
Some good changes to Algeth'ar Academy have been documented by the community.
- Spellbound Scepter's Mystic Blast now cannot be kicked and can only be stopped.
With Arcane Rain being removed, it moves the stop that players were using from Rain to the Blast instead and leaves kicks for other mobs.
Crawth's Tornadoes now have a new (and much improved) graphic!
Azure Vaults
A small but lovely change for the final boss:
- Umbrelskul crystals now spawn closer to the boss.
Brackenhide Hollow
Some undocumented and big buffs to the dungeon for Brackenhide.
- Withering damage tripled and now scales with key level.
- Withering sourced from the Rotsinger's Totem now double dips from key level.
- Wilted Oak's Necrotic Breath is no longer interruptable.
Melee players will have to watch out for Wilted Oaks now as you'll have to dodge the very hard to see frontal. Ranged can simply outrange the breath by standing 30+ yards away. Then as if Rotsingers already weren't hard enough, they're super banned now in S4, although it's likely that the Totem double dipping is a bug.
Halls of Infusion
- The Primal Tsunami phases at 60% health (not 50% like the Patch Notes indicate.
Nokhud Offensive
- Desecrated Ohuna now casts a new version of Rotting Wind, dealing AoE DoT damage to the entire party if cast (was only a frontal cone)
- Desecrated Ohuna's new Rotting Wind has anti-sync tech, preventing multiple from being cast at the same time.
- Ukhel Beastcaller's Desecrating Roar is now uninterruptable and summons 5 dogs (was 3).
The Beastcaller might be the most inefficient mob in the entire dungeon now and likely will be avoided. The new Desecrated Ohunas also make this section a pain as you have to
