Several adjustments to Tier 7 Underfoot raids were pushed live in a hotfix yesterday (from the patcher):

Changed several Underfoot raids to make them easier. Many of these changes came from feedback we received from the community.

The Death Beetle The type and number of hatchlings that spawn from the Death Beetle will no longer be randomly decided. The same hatchlings will spawn each time they spawn. The hatchlings have also been renamed. The Death Beetle Rapid hailing of the elder sporali will no longer cause the event to advance phases. The Death Beetle Reduced the number of fungi (and their equivalent sporali) that spawn at the beginning of the raid by half, but increased their HP. Overall there are fewer targets and less total damage to deal in order to kill the waves. The Death Beetle The raid event will reset if the Death Beetle is left idle for more than 60 seconds after it is first aggroed. The Death Beetle Hatchlings will now spawn less often and at a more reliable interval. Instead of spawning every 10 percent (with some variation) they now spawn every 15 percent. Masked Invaders A message will now reveal the character responsible for causing the greken to be healed. A Cunning Plan Further reduced the DPS of the mephit keyholders and minions for a total of about 20 percent. A Cunning Plan Reduced Taskmaster Yeorick's DPS slightly. Trial of Destruction Reduced the DPS of the rotocopter, gnomework, and skittering sentinels. Trial of Creation Many enemies in this trial have had their DPS reduced. Trial of Creation Many enemies in this trial have had their hit points reduced by approximately 10 percent. An Audience with Brell Brell and his Armored Visage have had their DPS reduced.
