Blue post today. Ulduar has received some more hotfixes. Also see WoW Insider's page for a full listing of the accumulated fixes to Ulduar. Most of these changes are hotfixed into live servers as of the 20'th of April 2009, the rest will become in effect as of today's client patch. * The Saronite Animus in the heroic General Vezax encounter has had its health increased. * The Mimiron hard mode has received the following changes: increased damage from Flames, increased damage from Frost Bomb (in heroic), increased damage from Water Spray, and increased the health bonus he receives from Emergency Mode. * For the trash mobs leading to Mimiron: the damage from a Clockwork Sapper’s Energy Sap ability has been decreased, the Energy Sap no longer drains mana, and the health of Boomer XP-500 has been decreased. * General Vezax’s abilities, Mark of the Faceless and Shadow Crash, may hit players in melee range depending on the situation and player setup. * Players should no longer be able to quench the Unquenchable Flames debuff from a Molten Colossus by using spells like Cloak of Shadows or Divine Protection.
