There are big nerfs for the Necrotic Swath in WoW: Shadowlands. But three other dungeons will also be noticeably easier for you.
With maintenance work this week (Wednesday, January 27) is a small patch for World of Warcraft. However, it has it all and should be especially interesting for dungeon players. Because four of the eight current WoW: Shadowlands dungeons will be adapted and some nerfs will be donated. The necrotic lane in particular is much easier on all difficulty levels.
01/27 Dungeon Nerfs – All changes
We have listed for you the changes in the four dungeons:
Epidemic fall
- Margravine Stradama
- Plague Bound Devotees have 40% less health and 40% less damage.
- Infectious rain is released less frequently in the final phase of the fight.
- Plague Blasts timing has been changed slightly so you have a bit more time to move.
The dungeon in Maldraxxus only has one nerf, but that should help.
The bloody depths
- Fixed the issue where Flying Vault Guards were not counting towards the percentages of a Mythic Keystone.
- Kryxis the Hungry
- Divisive Smash now deals 20% less damage on all difficulties.
- Essence Absorption deals 20% less damage on Mythic difficulty.

What do the changes mean? The changes to the necrotic hall in particular have long been desired. Almost every group of trash here felt like a little mini boss. Basically many abilities, especially on Mythisch +, were considered “over-tuned”. The fact that a change occurs should ensure that more records fall in the coming weeks.
Do you think the settings are good? Or have all the nerfs been unnecessary?
