Seeing that the Race to World First has been nothing but smooth sailing for these top World of Warcraft guilds, Blizzard Entertainment buffed the last three bosses of the raid on Dec. 16 to make the race more exciting and nail-biting. Now the balancing team have seen the impact on their buffs to Kurog Grimtotem, Broodkeeper Diurna, and Raszageth the Storm Eater, they realized these final bosses are due for a handful of nerfs.

Here’s the full list of nerfs, fixes, and changes coming to the last three bosses of the Vault of the Incarnates.
