Notoriety Gains:
With the +25% increase in notoriety rewards from various sources, it may be advisable to hold out on turning in your dailies that you pick up after the weekly reset if you can manage to complete them prior to the Hotfix update at 8am PDT (3-4hrs after reset) to benefit from the increased notoriety rewards.
Raid Nerfs:
A few nerfs to Matriarch and Twins – probably to get more people through. That’s fine, they’ve been out for months. Interesting to see them removing the tank swap mechanic for Twins – perhaps trying to encourage more 2-tank strats and to reduce raid requirements for more casual raids who can’t field 4 geared tanks, but can’t manage the old 2-tank strat.
Dungeon Nerfs:
Removing Chitin Weave from Telephalon in SBP is rather interesting. Already you can skip the whole upstairs consoles mechanic. Now that Chitin Weave is removed, the only mechanic is for the healer to AoE cleanse. Just tank and spank now.
