This week, Blizzard announced that they were removing the miserable Fervent Strike mechanic from trash mobs across the Shadowlands dungeon pool! This change has been oft-requested since the mechanic was introduced in Battle for Azeroth---and it comes along with other nerfs for pain points across the dungeon pool.
