Huge Sanctum Of Domination Nerfs Announced Before The Opening OF Cross-Realm Mythic

Blizzard has published hotfix notes announcing nerfs across four Sanctum of Domination Bosses, including the painful Painsmith Ranzal, and the final boss Sylvanas Windrunner.

Earlier this week the Alliance Hall of Fame reached 100 guilds, meaning that the following reset would close the achievement and open up cross-realm Mythic raiding.

These nerfs come in at a time where Blizzard sees many guilds already progressed enough through the raid, so they will tune the difficulty down just a bit to get more guilds through Mythic.
