World of Warcraft March 4 Hotfix Blizzard

In World of Warcraft's March 4 hotfix, developers have nerfed some raid trinkets in PvP. The update also brings some adjustments to Tazavesh, the Veiled Market raids.

Raid Trinket Nerfs

About 12 raid trinkets have their effectiveness reduced in PvP combat. Some of the most notable include the Heart of the Swarm with its leech and damage reduced by 70% and The First Sigil with Versatility reduced by 50% in PvP when activated.

Tazavesh Raid Adjustments

Tazavesh, the Veiled Market, is a “mega-dungeon” in World of Warcraft where bosses are placed in different dungeons in the Streets of Wonder and So’leah’s Gambit. That said, some adjustments have been implemented.

In the Streets of Wonder, the Cartel Lackey and the Bazaar Strongarm’s HP are reduced by 35% and 30%, respectively. Furthermore, Bazaar Strongarms will no longer grow exponentially after gaining applications of Unrelenting.

In Soleah’s Gambit, the final boss So’leah has her HP reduced by 15%. In addition, her Energy Fragmentation’s impact damage and damage over time are reduced by 25%.
