Eranikus' Shade: Health and Ability Adjustments in SoD Sunken Temple Raid

With the highly anticipated release of the Sunken Temple Level-Up Raid in Phase 3 of the Season of Discovery, players have been met with a formidable challenge. The Sunken Temple raid has been touted as the most difficult raid since the release of the Season of Discovery, and Blizzard had previously acknowledged the need for adjustments. Just a few days ago, we saw significant nerfs to boss health across the board, but one boss, Shade of Eranikus, continued to pose a challenge for most groups. However, it seems that Blizzard has heard the player feedback and has made additional changes to ensure a fair and enjoyable raid experience.

Reports have surfaced that an update was deployed while players were still inside the instance, bringing the boss's health down to 1.45 million from its initial 4 million. This substantial reduction in health points truly demonstrates the extent of this nerf. But it doesn't stop there - players on Reddit have also shared information regarding specific abilities that have been affected by these adjustments. Fortunately, we have gathered the data to outline these changes:

Shade of Eranikus Ability Changes

1. Cast time for ability A has been increased to 2.5 seconds from the previous 2 seconds.

2. Cast time for ability B has also been increased to 2.5 seconds from 2 seconds.

3. Damage for ability C has been reduced by 40%, but the debuff now lasts for 20 seconds instead of 12 seconds.

4. Ability D now goes through line of sight.

5. Effect #1 has been updated to modify damage/healing done.
