We’ve been seeing sporadic reports today that the Mimiron hard mode was nerfed via hotfix at some point during the night, and it appears those reports were correct. Bornakk just posted in the “recent in-game fixes” thread that the following changes were made to the hard mode of Ulduar’s ingenious keeper:

• Flame damage reduced.
• Damage/health gained from Emergency Mode reduced slightly.
• Range of Emergency Fire Bot’s Deafening Siren reduced in heroic; no longer cast on normal.
• Damage from Heat Wave in phase 2 reduced.
• Damage from Plasma Blast in phase 1 reduced.

That’s a pretty wide array of nerfs. I haven’t tried the hard mode – my guild is still working on getting the normal mode down consistently. I do love the fight on normal, though; it’s not easy, but it is super-fun.

Hard-mode raiders, what do you think? Does this fall in the category of “why would you nerf a hard mode,” or was he simply ridiculous before?
