HELIOS

Dear players,

stage 2 of the Isle of Thunder is now at 100 %, which means that starting from tomorrow, the next stage will be available, beginning with the quest Tear Down This Wall!. Once the wall-tearing is done, new quests will open up on the isle, in the newly assaulted Beast Pens and Conqueror’s Terrace! The long-awaited weekly quest The Crumbled Chamberlain will be available with this stage as well.

We will also be making further adjustments to the speed of the Isle of Thunder progress. We are happy to inform you that the next stage (and the following ones) will be faster than the previous ones, with increased rates of progression towards completion. We will continue to observe the impact of the modifications, and make adjustments as needed.

In other news, we will once again update the raid reduction values starting from this Wednesday, with these numbers:

10-man normal damage & heal/absorb reduction: 0%
25-man normal damage & heal/absorb reduction: 0%
10-man heroic damage & heal/absorb reduction: 26%
25-man heroic damage & heal/absorb reduction: 26%

Lastly, we would like to address a certain use of Vengeance during boss fights utilizing trash mobs to boost Vengeance gains. After the update, we will introduce diminishing returns on the ability, on par with its state in patch 5.4.

Have fun!

Helios Team
