Five World of Warcraft dungeons get Mythic+ tuning with the March 24 reset
Blizzard posted a set of fixes and balance tweaks that will apply during the March 24 weekly maintenance for Algeth'ar Academy, Maisara Caverns, Nexus‑Point Xenas, Seat of the Triumvirate, and Windrunner Spire.
Blizzard announced targeted Mythic+ tuning for five dungeons that will take effect during weekly maintenance on March 24. The developer’s forum post lists a mix of visual fixes, bug resolutions, and balance adjustments that overall make encounters a bit tougher in places while softening others.
The dungeons receiving changes are Algeth’ar Academy, Maisara Caverns, Nexus‑Point Xenas, Seat of the Triumvirate, and Windrunner Spire. Blizzard published the notes on the official forums, which you can read on the developer’s announcement page.
What to expect
The tuning includes fixes to how some player-carry items behave, clearer visual effects for certain mechanics, and adjustments to enemy spells and cooldowns. A few trash and boss abilities will deal more damage or change targeting to increase pressure on groups. In one case a cast time was halved on Mythic and Mythic+ difficulties, and another ability’s damage was increased to compensate for a recent behavior change.

This change incentivizes continued interaction with Turbulent Arrows to remove this affliction, while also capping the penalty for failing to do so.

These tuning adjustments focus on encounter clarity and mechanical behavior as much as raw numbers. Groups should look for the visual updates and altered targeting or cooldowns on March 24 when weekly maintenance finishes in each region.
