Mythic+ Season 2: Faster Dungeons

Created by Admin - 04/11/2026

Mythic+ Season 2 dungeons are now much faster to run: doors open the moment a boss dies, waves spawn as soon as the last one is down, and the long roleplay walks are now runs.

Faster dungeons

Doors and gates open the moment their boss dies. Shadowfang Keep's Courtyard Door, Sorcerer's Gate and Arugal's Lair door now open on the kill.
No more waiting on roleplay: the next wave spawns as soon as the last one dies, and scripted pauses and intros no longer hold up the run.
Long roleplay walks are now runs, so escorts finish much sooner:
- Shadowfang Keep: [Packleader Ivar Bloodfang] and [Deathstalker Commander Belmont] after [Baron Ashbury]
- Hour of Twilight: [Thrall]
- Blackrock Caverns, Firelands and Zul'Aman escorts and gate events
Throne of the Tides: the Defense System opens without waiting.
Well of Eternity: Illidan no longer pauses between steps.
Zul'Aman: the Hex Lord opens his door when he dies, and Vol'jin's gate event starts on its own.
Hour of Twilight: [Arcurion] opens the ice wall when he dies.
Grizzlemaw: the Ice Walls no longer block keystone runs.
Vortex Pinnacle, Grim Batol and Stonecore: slipstreams, drakes and doors now open after the right boss.
Deadmines: boss kills now count for the dungeon, so its doors open and Captain Cookie and Vanessa's note appear.

Bosses

[Slabhide] no longer has an air phase and can be attacked as soon as you reach him, without his long flying intro.

Enemy forces

Shadowfang Keep: every enemy now counts for more, so about 40% less trash is needed to reach 100%.
Well of Eternity: every enemy counts for 1% more, so 100% is much easier to reach.

Trial of the Tower

Each portal sends out all 20 of its enemies at once.
The start countdown is 1 second instead of 5, and enemies appear within a second of reaching a portal.

Keys and rating

Monsters are now as strong as in Season 1 at the same key level, plus 25%. Season 2 keys had scaled far too fast, for example +20 bosses with billions of health.
There is no longer a key level cap of +60: keys go as high as you can push them, as in Season 1.
Rating is now 10 points per key level, as in Season 1. Season 2 runs already played have been rescored with the new values.

Dungeon fixes

Grim Batol: [Drahga Shadowburner] calls [Valiona] at 30% again and no longer stays immune, so the dungeon can be completed.
End Time: the two Echoes picked for your run now count as bosses, whichever two they are:
End Time: enemy forces are rebalanced so 100% can be reached with any pair of Echoes. Echo of Tyrande counts for 35% and her moonlight waves count too.
Bosses with huge health no longer get stuck just above a health threshold, so their phase changes happen on time.
