Awwww, they had to go Nerf the Raven boss because too many people couldn't finish their epic flight quest. Well at least I can always hold dear to myself that I got mine the day after the patch. ;)

He really wasn't that hard, I don't see why they are Nerfing him this much. From the looks of this Nerf they want to make the encounter pretty much Trivial which takes part of the pride out of having Epic Flight Form.

I don't think that fight is that hard to be nerfed, i got my swift form on the same night the patch came, it's just a matter of a good party. well, guess i can now start farming him without having to have that good "near perfect" party for it.

That's what I figured. Everyone wants me to go in there and summon him for the chance of the Raven dropping but I won't go in there at all unless it is a solid group. Now this more or less will probably make him farmable.

Good job Bliz, take away the only redeeming factor of swift flight. I'm gonna stick to using the netherdrake now that I can't harvest in flight form anymore.

At least it appears no longer to be posssible to pull the Raven boss into Ilkiss' chamber (“Anzu, the Raven God may no longer be pulled far away from the location where he is summoned.”), forcing players to deal with the summoned adds ...

GammaRaptor: You still have instant shapeshift from flight to harvest, and back to flight, don't you? This should continue to be an advantage for druids harvesting.

Sword Specialization: The change to Sword Specialization making its extra attacks appear in yellow has been reverted. Extra attacks will appear in white and act like any auto-attack. They will no longer reset the swing time of your weapon. Rage awarded will be calculated by damage dealt as with any normal auto-attack.

uhm wasnt this in the previous patch ? Or are they reversing this...

Maximaeros:

Yes, they changed Sword Specialisation in 2.1.0.

I dont know why they're changing it again - could look like they're have been testing it on live and found it too powerful...

We didn't pull him into the other chamber to kill him when we did it or anything funny like that, we all clumped in the middle of the platform and just AoE'd the crap out of them. Sometimes brute power can decide an encounter and that is exactly how my group took this guy down.

From the sound of the change in sword specialization, it seems as though it was resetting the swing timer when it procced, so now we should see more swings happening. Also, it looks like when they changed it to yellow text, it wasn't generating rage properly. I would call that a fix and maybe a slight rebuff...

More PVP nerfs more Killing off the PVP aspect of the game. Great going Blizzard. Kinda looks like all the damage nerfs from Diablo II untill its was just not fun anymore and people left the game.

Oh so a game that was created to be quest based, and not a free i win button to everyone who wanted the most badass gear is tying to remain as such. Or is it you just can't fathom having to have to go to instances to get gear or work for it. Anyone can get honor/arena points, free pics most say, freeeeee.. Once you get them all what do you have? a score? that does what? goes im the best.. so what so you won enough games to give you the leet 25000$ prize and omg you won a game.. woop.. meanwhile im sitting here with guilds getting even better gear, seeing new things in the game, and have way more fun. So why don't you cry some more about your stupid pvp getting nerfed.
