- September 1, 2026 Classes › Shaman › Hero Talents › Farseer
Fixed an issue that caused Natural Harmony to increase the healing of Nature’s Guardian by 20% instead of its listed and intended 10%.
- September 1, 2026 Player versus Player › Shaman › Elemental
Developers’ notes: Elemental’s Farseer hero talent tree is performing better than expected defensively, and its Stormbringer hero talent tree is performing below expectations offensively. As a result we’re targeting key effects of each type to adjust: Natural Harmony’s improvements for the Nature’s Guardian effect are being diminished, while multiple key Stormbringer effects (including Tempest itself) are receiving buffs intended to improve overall damage and burst potential.
- September 1, 2026 Player versus Player › Shaman › Elemental
Farseer: Natural Harmony now reduces the cooldown of Nature’s Guardian by 10 seconds in PvP combat (was 15 seconds).
