Dragon Soul Difficulty Change

During the scheduled server maintenance on the week of March 26, the “Power of the Aspects” spell will grow more powerful, reducing the health and damage dealt of all enemies in the Dragon Soul raid by 15%. This spell will grow progressively stronger over time to reduce the difficulty and make the encounters more accessible. The spell will affect both normal and Heroic difficulties, but it will not affect the Raid Finder difficulty.

Don’t need the help of the Dragon Aspects? The spell can be disabled by talking to Lord Afrasastrasz at the beginning of Dragon Soul.

We hope you continue to enjoy Dragon Soul, and that these changes encourage you to attempt a higher difficulty, or just keep pushing to down that next boss.

@Frostyam: Because the point of heroic modes was to be out of reach of players who are not hardcore. That's their purpose.

Actually I'm a very casual player and I think that Dragon Soul is already too easy. Did we really need it?

@Pinkpain: I'm sorry mate, I've misunderstood the meaning of the post. Yes, I've only tried the LFR version and I found it very easy. If I'll have the chance, I try the normal version too.

@Anarchy: next expansion is around the corner, beta is like next week, nobody cares about the loot being given to casuals... new greens will replace them..., those who wanted "challenge" did it when 4.3 launched, they didn't wait till nerfs, then start to complain that they can't have the challenge....

Allow us to turn the debuff on/off in increments, please.
And what happened to "not automated"? I'm pretty sure its been increased every 4 weeks since its implementation.

@Eòwyn: It must be frustrating not being a good player and still doing normals even with 10% buff.You really don't have to caps your opinion here.

Clearing that crap in 3 hours isn't enough. NEXT TIME DON'T CHANGE THE HARD MODE... WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO.

What if you want to play without the debuff because the thrill is far more exciting and gratifying to kill bosses without it but doing so will cause you to plummet in realm rankings effectively killing recruitment for your guild which is paramount with an upcoming expansion?

@Lyme: Why would you drop down the rankings? a kill is a kill, if anything you should go up in realm standing if you are killing off raid boss at their most difficult.

Excellent. Good for people who are stuck behind, but more fuel for the whiners. Can't win either way :)
