Premier « nerf » de la Fonderie Rochenoires

Nombreux sont les champions unissant encore leurs forces pour combattre Main-Noire, seigneur de guerre du chan Rochenoire, à la Fonderie des Rochenoires. Certains continuent à tomber au combat. Mais pour combien de temps ?
Watcher (@WatcherDev) vient de poster un message sur les forums US qui va sans doute alimenter la soif de vaincre de nos héros partis au combat.

[blizzardquote author= »Watcher » link= »http://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/364746-blackrock-foundry-item-level-change/ » source= »http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/16646354646#1″]

We are preparing to deploy a hotfix next week that will increase the item level of all raid drops from all difficulties of the Blackrock Foundry raid.

The main purpose of this change is to ensure that killing new bosses in the Blackrock Foundry raid feels appropriately rewarding. We are finding that groups coming out of a couple of months in Highmaul could often have an average item level that was just barely shy of the loot dropped by the appropriate difficulty in Foundry. A core part of the experience of progressing through a new raid tier lies in the sense that even if you didn’t manage to kill a particular boss this week, the upgrades your raid group gathered along the way will make things smoother and improve your chances the following week.

This change will be retroactive, affecting existing items that players may have in their possession. Thus, instead of an item level range of 650/665/680/695 for Raid Finder/Normal/Heroic/Mythic Foundry, the loot awarded will now be item level 655/670/685/700 respectively. At the same time, we will be increasing the item level of the new highest-tier crafted and Apexis vendor items by 5, in order to keep their power unchanged relative to the Foundry raid itemization.[/blizzardquote]

Pour les anglophobes, sachez juste que vos objets les plus puissants (ceux issus de la Fonderie des rochenoire et fabriqués avec vos métiers) subiront une modification, augmentant ainsi leur niveau d’objet.
Les paliers 650/665/680/695 deviendront ainsi des 655/670/685/700.

Comme le souligne Watcher, les effets de l’augmentation sont rétro-actifs et seront effectifs dès Mardi (pour les US) et Mercredi pour l’Europe. Ne soyez donc pas surpris si vous prenez quelques niveaux d’objets supplémentaires après la maintenance 🙂

De quoi donner un joli coup de pouce aux guildes. Well played
