Recent in-game changes nerf HoR and ICC dungeons.

I will admit that Halls of Reflection wasn’t that bad but it was getting to the point of calling bullshit when you got a wave spawn having a Priest, 2 Mages, a Merc (Rogue), and a Footman (Warrior)  pretty much untankable and going bat-shit-crazy on your party over and over again. I haven’t yet stepped foot in Icecrown Citadel so I can’t comment on the lady Deathwhisper changes but it appears to be an across the board nerf to the encounter.

The Hellfire cast change for those trash pulls in the Pit of Saron is nice because those fuckers tend to blink next to a healer and start spamming hellfire as soon as you interrupt their fireball nuke, so you were screwed no matter what you did.

Blue post via Bornakk:

• The Lady Deathwhisper encounter has seen the following changes in the 25 player normal version: mana pool has been reduced, the health on all adds has been reduced, and Adherents will wait a little longer after spawning before they start casting.
• Interrupting a fireball being cast by the Ymirjar Flamebearers in normal and heroic Pit of Saron will no longer make them instantly cast Hellfire.
• The ghost waves at the beginning of both normal and heroic Halls of Reflection have undergone several changes that should make them easier to defeat such as preventing 2 mages or 2 mercenaries from spawning in the 5 mob pulls, a shorter duration of the spectral footman’s shield bash, and the spectral mage’s flamestrike having a longer cast time, shorter duration, and (in heroic) doing less damage.
• The Oculus loot improvements have been made.
