Blizzard removes controversial mechanic from upcoming WoW: Dragonflight raid boss

The next World of Warcraft: Dragonflight raid was going to make a throwback to a mechanic from Classic WoW, but Blizzard has walked back its decision to implement it into the game. 

The penultimate boss of the game’s next raid, Aberrus, is the Echo of Neltharion, the father of the dragon Nefarian, who players fought all the way back in 2005 when Blackwing Lair was current content. In his Blackwing Lair encounter, Nefarian was infamous for a “class call” mechanic that caused a specific debuff or problem based on one of the raid’s random present classes, such as locking all Druids into Cat Form or breaking Hunters’ ranged weapons.
