Blizzard is slightly tweaking how Bonus Rolls work starting next week. In order to bonus roll a boss, you’ll need to be eligible to loot it.
This change makes it so you cannot defeat a boss multiple times a week and bonus roll it every time.
Who Is This Bonus Roll Change For?
This affects only players looking to save up their bonus roll until they defeat a boss, for instance, Heroic Ula’tek, and then kill it multiple times that week to get every piece of loot from the boss.
With this change, you can only bonus roll a boss once a week per difficulty.
Raid Bonus Roll Update
With scheduled weekly maintenance next week (Sept. 1 in this region), we’re implementing a change to raid loot.
- Bonus Rolls can only be used on encounters where the player is eligible to receive loot.
This means that on each difficulty, once a player has been locked out of receiving loot for the week, defeating a boss a second or subsequent time before the end of the week will not provide an opportunity for the use of a Bonus Roll. While this is a change in loot behavior from Season 1, we feel that it more closely aligns with how loot works in general, and will be healthier for the acquisition of loot overall.
