Lots of great content on the 2.4 patch so far -- but you still haven't talked much about Magtherion and his buffed loot and nerfed encounter. What has changed about the fight to make it easier? More loot details please.

There's been talk in my guild about hitting Mag at some point soon, so with any luck I'll have an "up close and personal" article about Big Blue in the next few days. Unfortunately, none of us got to see him on the PTR.

In a nutshell, the number of infernals summoned by the warlock adds has been nerfed, I believe the warlocks' damage has also been reduced, and the single biggest change is that the Mind Exhaustion debuff (the one preventing cube clickers from doing it twice in a row) has either been chopped out completely or greatly reduced. Mind Exhaustion is what made it necessary to rotate two teams of cube clickers (which was itself a nerf; it used to be three!) and from what I understand, it's only necessary to slap five people on the cubes now and you're ready to go.

Also, we do have a post about Mag's buffed loot here if you're interested: http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/02/25/patch-2-4s-magtheridon-the-new-onyxia/
