Thanks to Nihilum completely owning the Black Temple in 1 week, Blizzard have increased the difficulty of it. Well it may not be all due to them, but it's happened anyway!

Based upon further feedback from guilds in Black Temple and Hyjal, we've decided to make some difficulty adjustments to many of the later bosses. As a general rule, the changes increase the damage dealt by the encounter to the raid. Note that due to the timing and nature of the changes made, some of the tooltips for the retuned abilities will be incorrect.

The encounters changed include:

Gurtogg Bloodboil
Teron Gorefiend
Mother Shahraz
The Illidari Council
Illidan Stormrage
Archimonde

Our intent is not to make the encounters impossible. Even with the increased difficulty, I do expect some of them to be quickly beaten again after guilds experience the changes and adapt.

As a side note, the 2.1.1 patch did include the change to the Archimonde encounter that increases his leash distance and made the Well of Eternity a bad place for casters to be near.

We went back to The Black Temple and killed 3 bosses and worked on defeating a fourth encounter. So far we've killed a total of 5 bosses. See below for all the details of today. If you want to check out what we did the first day go here. We'll come back tomorrow, so stay tuned for our 3rd day in The Black Temple.

Blizzard have done an excellent job on this zone. It's top notch content so far and we've enjoyed all the different encounters and hope to experience even more in the coming days. Props! Even the trash is fun.
