Ulduar Tuning Tweaks 05/04/09

All of the changes below have either already been applied or will be applied shortly, with the exception of Hodir's hard mode tweaks, which will go live after maintenance. Please try to keep spamming and trolling over the multiple slaps to the face included with these fixes to the bare minimum!*


Hard Mode Tuning (10 Normal/25 Heroic)

XT-002
    o Heart of the Deconstructor health reduced (10/25)

Assembly of Iron
    o Overwhelming Power duration increased to 30 seconds.
    o Amount Steelbreaker heals from Electrical Charge reduced to 20% of max health.

Hodir
    o Hodir hard mode timer increased from 2 minutes to 3 minutes. This hotfix will be applied during maintenance for both US and EU (respectively).


General Encounter Tweaks

Auriaya
    o Reduced number of Swarming Guardians from 25 to 10. Increased damage of swarm slightly to compensate.
    o Range on Savage Pounce lowered.
    o Damage of Savage Pounce reduced.

Thorim
    o The Iron Ring Guard’s Whirling Trip ability will now only hit the tank.

Freya
    o Elder Stonebark’s Petrified Bark ability won’t destroy melee.


Trash Tweaks
    o Removed first pack of trash from Conservatory.
    o General Vezax trash has received further tweaks.
    o Sappers should do much less damage when they blow up. They may or may not laugh like the Predator when they initiate the self-destruct sequence.



*That was a joke. Please try to keep spamming and trolling about this joke to the bare minimum.
