Undocumented 1.11 Changes

[Ruvanal]

Sulfuron's priests have a larger range on their heals, we had to pull the kill zone one up into the tunnel to get him out of range of the others. The WoW forums are reporting that the priests are spam healing, they aren't, they just have a longer range so the current target is getting heals from more priests than people expect.

Sulfuron was also hitting about 75% harder than he used to. It's still a cakewalk fight but things got a bit buffed.

The Forcomm raid last night did not get this far to see this. But I do not feel surprised by it. The designers probably want the encounter to be done with the healers in range of each other durning the fight, so I would not be surprised that the distance leashes get adjusted in a later patch so that they cannot be taken out of range at all durning the fight.

Shazzrah seemed to blink less frequently than normal and it doesn't seem to change the tanks aggro level as much. Hard to really judge that because this was the first time this raid had seen him, but it was not the same as with other groups I've seen him with.

I did not notice any real change in his behavior during our run last night. I would say we need some more runs to be sure that this is really a change or if it just a bit of a flukey behavior.

Some of our allies on Terenas who were in a different raid were reporting that Ragnaros was throwing his grenades at the raid about once every 5 seconds. This one seems like a bug. I could believe the Sulf changes were intentional to make the encounter a littlle harder.

Are you referring to the 'By fire be purged!' attacks? If so, I had personally noted from the earlier attempts to down him the first time and the first attempts with the MCb runs at him that particular attack frequency seemed to inversely related the DPS that was on him. Rather like the Onyxia Deep Breaths that if you crank up the DPS that they become less frequent. And like the change to her a patch or two ago, they may have just adjusted the damage scaling factor for being able to reduce that attacks frequency.
