Dungeons and Raids
Developers’ notes: Through the first week of Season 3 Mythic+ dungeons, data and feedback suggest that Murozond’s Rise, Throne of the Tides, and Atal’Dazar are outliers in terms of difficulty. While Murozond’s Rise and Throne of the Tides are too difficult, Atal’Dazar is proving too easy and may affect player progression through the content in a negative way.

Fixed an issue that caused Murozond’s Rise in Group Finder to default to Galakrond’s Fall.
This is stupid, people have been asking for these to have lowered health or increased drops for a few months now and the only thing we get changed is making it harder to find the things. So now we have to wait for them to spawn before we can try to get a group to even try to get the things.
