So if you didn't know or hear this happened

Zul'Aman

• Amani'shi Medicine Man's summoned Protective Ward health has been reduced by 60%.
• When an Amani'shi Scout is alerted, he now idles for 1 second before running to summon reinforcement.
• Amani'shi Reinforcement's damage has been reduced by 15%.
• Amani'shi Flame Casters' Fireball Volley now inflicts less damage.
• Jana'lai's Flame Breath ability now inflicts less persistent fire damage.

Zul'Gurub

• Berserking Boulder Roller's Boulders now inflict less damage.
• Bloodlord Mandokir's Decapitate cooldown has been increased by 5 seconds.

• Jin'do's Shadows of Hakkar now inflicts less damage.

So people are going nuts over these nerfs. Especially with a new raid instance out so you will outgear it even further. Now to the people who raid these nerfs aren't going to matter at all. They outgear the content and really will make the instance go by quicker. When you think about this it is what you want. You don't want to spend extra time to do something you just want to get your points for and be done with. So the question is, why nerf at all? Well that is simple. The Z heroics have been added to the normal rotation so people that were ungeared for them were getting placed in them. So you could have tanks and healers who were severely undergeared for them have to take a primary role. Now this is Blizzard's fault for not still teiring the heroics, and the nerf is an easy fix for them. It is also a nerf that really hurts no one because it is not current content and the players who are going to learn from these heroics are going to be the ones doing them for the first time, those being the players who are ungeared for them.

So with that all in mind before you go to the forums and typing in all caps think about why this happened in the first place.

Happy 1 year left to live.

You Fail At ZA and ZG If...

So Fail Day is here once again and after a week going by since 4.1 I was able to compile a list of fail through just one week of spending time in our new-old instances. Also want to thank everyone who actually sent in some of their own failure stories from the past week, which made this Fail Day full of potential. So lets just have at it.

You Fail at ZA and ZG If...

• You have not got the achievement off of the snake boss
• You died on your way into ZG from not clicking on the green cauldron
• You are not saddened by the Bloodlord not saying DING when he levels up
• You nuke the panther boss without pulling packs of panthers
• You found the Zanzil encounter difficult to understand what to do
• You couldn't do what Jarjar could and stay inside the bubble
• You decide to hug the boss in the edge of madness when he does his lightning rod
• You find the concept of standing under the person being picked up by lightning difficult
• The charge mechanic on the bear boss for some reason seems more complicated then the assault on Bin Laden compound
• You kill both handlers, but then proceed to not do an ounce of damage on the birds that massed spawned
• "Kill totems" seems to represent a saying in Swahili since you have the largest problem actually listening when told to do it.
• Your method of lets CC this pull is just mark it and pull without saying anything
• You enjoy watching scouts bashing on the drums and calling more adds
• "Stand in the rectangle" is followed by you standing in the one place that has round edges.

and finally

• You have a bunch of green gear, but purchased PvP gear just so your ilvl was high enough to get inside.

There we have it, this week's edition of fail. Hope you all enjoyed it and haven't had to go through what I have or the horror stories others have told me. Good luck on this Free Loot Tuesday
