Ignis Hotfixed

So after a great raid last night, we ended with Ignis the Furnace Master on 13%.Yes, that is a very small amount of health and, if the trash hadn't respawned, I'm confident that we would have smoked him. However, from today, Ignis the Furnance Master has been hotfixed with the following changes.

• The Ignis the Furnace Master encounter has received the following changes: The interrupt effect and duration of the damage from Flame Jets has been reduced, the damage from the Slag pot has been reduced, the number of Heat stacks needed to transform an Iron Construct into a Molten state has been reduced, the base melee damage done by Ignis has been reduced, and the damage bonus Ignis receives from Strength of the Creator has been slightly increase

So, nerfs all around for the encounter then. I must say, I hate when encounters get nerfed. Yes, it was necessary to hotfix Ignis post 3.1 because he was broken but this? He is not a hard fight, it just requires tanks and healers to be precise in ways that make life easier from everyone - mainly positioning. I don't understand why the nerf was needed. Perhaps further into Ulduar the encounters are a little easier and this just needed tuning - who knows.
