So earlier today it was announced on MMO champion that Blizzard were reducing the amount of Smouldering essences gained from bosses.
They were going to reduce the amount in 10 man from an average of 7 per boss (35 boss kills) to 3-4 ( 62- 83 boss kills). After the outrage from the community they have decided to revert this decision in the complete opposite direction for 10 mans, and they are increasing the amount gained from bosses by 33% (9 per boss kill) and that means the overall has been reduced to 27 boss kills, which is absolutely brilliant for those of us on the Legendary quest chain.
Aye, seeing as the quest was designed to take 3 times longer to complete in 10 man compared to 25 man then any easement is welcomed. I was figuring 2012 might be a possible for completion.....maybe.
considering i aitn been in a raid for a while i cant say for sure but hermi should be in the high teens for these now i believe
