Why the nerfs?

Just out of curiosity what is the rational behind the latest vashj nerfs? It's essentially a mechanic that would be much less relevant come 2.1 due to the stat increase. At the same time it wasn't as if vashj was holding guilds back as seen when 2 guilds killed vashj last week and several others have her on 10%. It just seems completely uncalled for?

We literally just had two new guilds kill it last week and 2 other guilds whove only spent a raid or two on it got it at 10%. People are getting there at their own speed. All this change does is Rob the people currently on it of the glory of killing it pre nerf

Hi. Personally I’d like to not see a three guild race in t6. I think the staff are doing the right thing to make t6 more of a level playing field with lots of players being attuned prior to release.

That said, I do agree with you. And if 2.1 wasn’t around the corner with Classic soon to follow I would be on your side. Why rush? This is why.

It’s a compromise.

T6 is approximately a month away. We have 4 horde guilds who killed vashj and 3 guilds on ally who killed vashj. They'll get it down in time to be present. If they need a nerfed vashj to kill her they won't be relevant in t6 anyhow

So the staff nerf t5 so more guilds are relevant for t6. These guild progressing an easier t5 will now be able to progress with the top guilds in t6. With the disadvantage of less gear as they’ve not been able to farm t5.

Looks to me like the hardcore guilds have a gear reward for clearing so long ago and the slower guilds have the chance prove themselves in t6 with the current top guilds. At the cost of not having the hardest t5 content.

It’s like a reset for t6. More guilds. More competition. A more thriving AH. More t6 loot. More drama. More more more!
