Mythic+

Return to Karazhan: Lower

Developers’ note: The Opera events in Lower Karazhan have proven to be more lethal than we'd like, particularly given the weekly rotation that makes them more challenging to master in Mythic+. We've made a number of adjustments here in hopes of bringing the difficulty of these events in line with our expectations.
The Opera Hall: Beautiful Beast

Silver Forks health reduced by 50%.
Silver Forks Bloody Jab damage over time reduced by 50%.
Mrs. Cauldrons’ Soup Spray damage reduced by 30%.
Luminore's Heat Wave damage reduced by 30%.

The Opera Hall: Westfall Story

Gang Ruffian's Poisonous Shank damage over time reduced by 50%.
Mrrgria's Thunder Ritual damage reduced by 30%.

The Opera Hall: Wikket

Winged Assistant's health reduced by 25%.
Winged Assistant's Throw "Stuff" damage reduced by 30%.

Comment by dlbert2000lolComment by WowvocateSome of these nerfs are approaching 'fixed an issue where enemies performed mechanics' levelsComment by WikiWeaponnWaiting on Tomrius to say it still needs to be nerfed more.Comment by TysightBlizzard clearly needed to play test their game a little more.Comment by SeniaaWhy are they nerfing Heat Wave damage? It's a mechanic solely designed to check that one of the four (five with rshaman) people in the party are remotely paying attention to kick it. Even at 30% reduction it is still just going to wipe you if you let it channel for like 2-3 ticks.Comment by omgitsabdkOn next reset they will remove all bosses and trash from the dungeon and place a dummy in the middle of the opera hall, you go in hit it once and get your loot kekwComment by lovelywazThis week is Wikket on NA I believe. Let's see how pugs do without those bloody explosive orbs wiping the group last time more than anything else!

The only thing they have to worry about is using Defy Gravity when Magic Magnificent is cast. Other than that just cleave down adds and interrupt boss as much you can!Comment by AmmertossThis week is Wikket on NA I believe.

Either the other ones had to get harder or this one had to get easier.. At the top levels and at the low levels too. It is what it is.Comment by gnovasPeople that actually enjoy Lower Kara nerfs: GIGACHADS.

People mad complaning the key is "ok": MADBOYZComment by Ryder@Wikket
Make the Winged Assistants non-stationery instead of these nerfs.
Not every group has to have a Blood DK / DK with Necrolorr Covenant / Destro Lock or otherwise it’s literally impossible to kill in high keys.Comment by TOMRUSNot bad, but kara is still overtuned. Trash hasn't been touched at all and requires 50% damage nerf across the board.

All the other bosses are mess and overtuned too... Attumen is oneshot fiesta, Maiden of Virtue, Moroes, The Curator, Shade of Medivh, Viz'aduum the Watcher are no different... The only somewhat properly tuned boss in whole dungeon is Mana Devourer...Comment by NemueHow about they nerf the stage floor next. Its by far the most lethal paft of the opera these days.Comment by AbsiImo this is directed at wrong boss. Attumen ends up being a 5-6 minute fight is not a fun experience. What they can do honestly is make Attumen stay off his horse longer. Would keep the difficulty roughly the same but give more uptime.Comment by GuyKopskiNot gonna say no to more Opera nerfs, but it's bizarre that they're so fixated on this one specific fight and refuse to look at anything else.

Meanwhile 3/4 Upper bosses are still broken.Comment by DooteranopiaI'm honestly surprised they still haven't nerfed the Guardian phase of Shade of Medivh again with as hard as they're hitting Lower Karazhan. Once they fix that, I think both Karazhan dungeons will be in a good spot (though to be honest, I think they went a bit heavy handed on Lower Kara in some aspects).Comment by OlsofaI said this the 2 last time they nerfed lower Kara and I will say it again.

They waited too long to bring in nerfs, so many people got sick and burned out fast.
I am still not finding joy in this dungeon and I avoid it to the best of my extent, because it is still overtuned and not fun to play.Comment by EkkaNot bad, but kara is still overtuned. Trash hasn't been touched at all and requires 50% damage nerf across the board.
