    It was already stated that the devs had concerns with the difficulty curve being higher in 6 than 7.

    It was also already stated that they were considering lowering damage (the other changes are a surprise to me).

    So, if we look at Gordias Savage, SE was unwilling to nerf this for very long.
    Yeah, and look what it did to the raiding community. It's nice that they're willing to learn from past mistakes.

    My static is working on A6S atm; I'll reserve judgement on the changes till we get in there this week.

    I still don't get why this is important. Savage is for the challenge, and the fight is clearable, it's nowhere near A3S initial state.

    Based on what was said, it's because the devs wanted a steadily increasing level of challenge rather than having a spike in the middle. So they changed things around. I mean, we're talking about getting gloves and boots here. A2S (the previous raid tier's equivalent) wasn't exactly hard. Ultimately, it boils down to the fact that it's their sandbox. If they aren't happy with the clear rates, they'll change stuff till they are. We already knew that changes were a possibility so I dunno why some people are so bothered by this. My static's currently making steady progress on A6S and it doesn't really bother me.
