This fix will not change your Dodge % displayed on your character sheet, as the bug was invisible to players.Reduced Algalon’s melee damage by 10% in both 10-player and 25-player difficulties.Developers’ notes: We feel that the increase in pressure on tanks and healers from the Dodge bugfix will be manageable in other encounters, but this one needs a compensatory tweak.
