Update 43.3 Release Notes
Here are the Release Notes for Update 43.3, released on Wednesday, April 2, 2025.
News and Notes:
The Task Collections Box at Rakhatâb, Cape of Umbar, can once again be used to turn in tasks bestowed by the Task Board next to it.
- FrenchTranslations for Light damage in French have been updated.
The Temple of Utug-bur
Wing 2: Thur Hin
Orkish Fury will now fall off out of combat so that it does not impact enemies in rooms outside of the first boss encounter.
Wing 3: Inner Sanctum
Fixed a tooltip error with Bound by Shadow top tier effects. These now reflect the chance to harm yourself on skill plays.
During the first boss fight there was a chance, if the tank was slain, that Azagath would drop aggro and reset the fight. This has been addressed.
Garash Skill Changes
Garash no longer inducts when using weaken resolve
Garash now uses weaken resolve every 2 seconds if his aggro target is not close to him, this is a raid-wide effect
Garash's induction on Purge the Hopeless is reduced to 3s
Garash’s Purge the Hopeless now checks to see if a player has Gandalf’s protection
Nodules
Nodules no longer create new blisters
Nodules explode for high shadow damage in an area around them, dazin/rooting/fearing targets caught in the blast, and add a tier of True Despair
Blister Hotspots deal more damage
Vortexes should now change targets when attempting to damage players with their ranged damage skills
Dancing Shadow Blades damage has been reduced considerably. Dancing Shadow Blades will only occur on T3.
Azagath's Mettle, Will, and Malice target effects now clearly state which Azagath skill they make you susceptible to.
