Recent Elemental Shaman hotfixes

  • 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).

  • September 1, 2026 Player versus Player › Shaman › Elemental

    Stormbringer: Tempest damage increased by 20% in PvP combat.

  • September 1, 2026 Player versus Player › Shaman › Elemental

    Stormbringer: Natural Gift now increases Nature damage by 4% in PvP combat (was 2%).

  • September 1, 2026 Player versus Player › Shaman › Elemental

    Stormbringer: Stormcaller now increases Nature spell critical strike damage by 10% in PvP combat (was 5%).

  • August 26, 2026 Classes › Shaman › Elemental

    Farseer: Corrected an issue where Maelstrom Supremacy did not increase the healing of Healing Surge.

  • August 25, 2026 Player versus Player › Shaman › Elemental

    Developers’ notes: Elemental is lacking the sustained pressure we expect, so we’re targeting core damage sources to improve its viability.
