M'uru nerfed

The small handful of guilds worldwide that have killed M'uru thus far are going to have an achievement therein that nobody else can touch. As of yesterday's patch 2.4.2 (today on the European realms), Blizzard has made the following change to the encounter:We've changed the Negative Energy spells cast by M'uru and Entropius to no longer cause spell interruption on the target. This should ease the frustration of the encounter for those casting classes who can not obtain 100% resistance to spell interruption through talents and effects such as Concentration Aura.
Having not done the fight myself, I can't really comment on how big of a nerf this is, but it's something, anyway. (Background: M'uru is the next-to-last boss of Sunwell Plateau, followed only by Kil'Jaeden, and Entropius is another aspect of M'uru that appears during the fight.) Guilds who have been wiping on M'uru, or who intend to try him in the future, do you welcome this change?

They've already downed him..
Heilig May 14th 2008 3:24PM
Yeah, they did.
Yesterday.
After the nerf.

Europe didn't get the change until Wednesday, only the US got it Tuesday.
So they did get it pre nerf

I stand corrected. I was under the impression that EU actually got the rollout first.

This is actually a relatively major change, and should give folks an easier time spec and group wise - which means more DPS and survivability. That only means an overall easier time killing 'em.

Yeah, four kills yesterday compared to two being the most in one day prior. Seems like it has gotten considerably easier.

More welfare epics.
Carl Q. May 14th 2008 3:39PM
Yeah, because sunwell is welfare epics... *roll eyes*

Since they've obviously killed Muru yesterday, but 2.4.2 went live only today on European realms, all of the EU guilds listed here

with a kill date of 05/13 have killed the hard version.

I haven't done the fight myself, but judging by the wording it sounds like this change gets rid of some of the dumb luck and raid stacking elements of the fight.

It's not that big of a change honestly.
As an elemental shaman it sort of iffed me that I had no resistence to spellpushback unless I wore my 4 pc S3 set which would be stupid to do in a raid enviroment and Conc aura only gets you so far.
But yeah, the change is nice for me because I don't have to worry too much about that and it's not so much a nerf to me as a fix because it allows people to dps as they should instead of having to bring a ton of pallys for conc aura.
