Zekvir’s Lair Delve nerfs
All these Zekvir’s Lair Delve nerfs are applied to both Tier ? and Tier ?? difficulties:
Zekvir changes
Blizzard nerfed Zekvir pretty heavily, reducing his overall damage and health. One of his most iconic abilities, Horrendous Roar, has also been changed. The cast time of this spell was increased in duration, making it now 2.5 seconds to charge (2.4 and 2.25 previously). These nerfs made him a bit less of a challenge, simplifying players’ lives.
Adds changes
Egg Cocoon’s (Web Terror’s) adds were also nerfed and are now less dangerous. They will now appear in a random place in the arena, which is no longer based on where Zekvir is standing. Their Regenerating Carapace and Enfeebling Spittle time gates between casts were changed in solo attempts. This nerf was made for these abilities to work better with each class/specialization interruptions. Web Blast cast time was also increased, making it easier to interrupt this spell or CC them in time.
Blizzard also fixed a bug when Egg Cocoons (Web Terrors) remained even after Zekvir’s death.
Community’s opinion
Most of the player base is thankful to Blizzard for these changes. However, some still insist on stronger nerfs for this boss and the Delve overall. But still, everyone admits that we see positive movement in the right direction.
Final thoughts
Seeing Blizzard tuning Delves and other dungeons for all players is very pleasant. This is a nice quality-of-life improvement that lets even inexperienced players have a piece of cake, too. We hope to see more player-friendly changes in the future based on Blizzard’s opinion about any content difficulty. To learn more about Delves, check our Complete WoW The War Within Delves guide.
