Greetings! I hope you’re all having a good time exploring the Sepulcher of the First Ones!

We wanted to let you all know in advance about some upcoming changes to the Lihuvim encounter, as we have identified an issue that caused Lihuvim to do significantly less raid damage than expected on all difficulties. While we typically do not increase the difficulty of encounters after release, we do sometimes intervene to address cases where a fight would otherwise be much less engaging than intended.

We believe intervention is warranted in this case, and so with weekly resets we will be applying a number of changes intended to increase raid damage during the Lihuvim encounter.

We’ll have detailed notes to share next week, but the biggest change will be to the Cosmic damage reduction provided by Protoform Disalignment, which was incorrectly reducing damage taken by 90%. This value will be much lower next week, particularly on Heroic difficulty. We may also make small adjustments to some of Lihuvim’s other abilities to ensure raid damage ends up in a healthy place.

Keep an eye out for the full details next week, and thank you for your patience!

Just to be extra clear, this probably isn’t the only change we’ll be making to the raid with weekly resets, but it is an unusual case so we wanted to provide additional notice and insight.

We are keeping an eye on feedback and will continue to make adjustments to any bosses that feel overly difficult for their place in the raid.
