Dungeons and Raids

- Developers’ notes: Our intention with these dungeons is for their difficulty to fall between the difficulty of a Normal and a Heroic dungeon at level 80. Our goal with changes like this is to provide a fairer, engaging challenge for all players while keeping to the principle that better gear makes you more powerful. We’ll continue to monitor dungeon difficulty to ensure Timewalking presents a satisfying level of challenge for all players.
