WoW Classic Boss Changes
Blizzard are also planning some Raid Boss changes to make the earlier ones more challenging than they have been. Below is the changes they're planning:
"These changes currently include (but are not limited to):

- Restoring mechanics that were removed early on to some Raid bosses
