Hard agree
I get that it’s bad for everyone to just hit end game asap. It’s why I’m suggesting move the throttle to the upgrade NPC UI itself and let people feel good farming some currency still.

I really can’t believe this is going live, nothing but negative response, with a lot of shaman mains unsubbing. We would of gotten the mage treatment if ele was played in the world first race. Well sorry shaman mains I will be unsubbing today, I just wasted 2 weeks gearing my shaman for this patch, with this slimy move I don’t even care about the next xpac.
well cancelled my sub since ele is now unplayable in raid and m+. thanks for ignoring feedback

Thx for the candys, but Druid feral still needs help, we’ve a lot of problems to be competitive in Aoe and we depend from 4 tier bonus (nerfed -40%). A good beginning could be remove all caps (5 or 8 units dmg reduced) from feral Druids spells
Currency grinding is not engaging gameplay. There needs to be a re-branding of sorts when it comes to WoW Systems. Dev team can do better at large because multiple useless currencies that serve no purpose is not the point of the game.

No new shadow priest nerfs? What gives? We’re only performing abysmally. Definitely in desperate need of a random nerf sometime soon. We’re the single dps spec of an entire class at risk of not being last overall. Please hurry!
Absolutely horrid and completely out-of-touch elemental shaman nerf in the name of ‘accessibility’.
It would make sense if there was some amount of compensation to make up for the lost dmg of a mid tier spec…
hope they revert or compensate ASAP.
Hello~ Here are today’s hotfixes:
MARCH 8, 2022
Classes
- Hunter
- Beast Mastery
- (4) Set Bonus: Multi-Shot will now also light up on your action bar when the Killing Frenzy buff is active.
- Monk
- Fixed an issue that prevented Fallen Order (Venthyr Ability) adepts and Mistweaver’s Yu’lon effigy from gaining reduced damage from area of effect attacks similar to other pets and guardians.
- Fixed an issue where Sinister Teachings (Venthyr Runecarving Power) would not always apply its cooldown reduction after logging in until the legendary was re-equipped.
Cyphers of the First Ones
- Pocopoc’s Energy is now updated immediately after researching Maxlim.
Dungeons and Raids
- Sepulcher of the First Ones
- Vigilant Guardian
- Force Field now reduces damage taken by exposed core by 90% on Mythic Difficulty (was 80%).
- Slightly lowered the spawn rate of Volatile Materium and Pre-Fabricate on Mythic difficulty.
- Reduced the damage of Radioactive Core by 12% on Mythic difficulty.
- Reduced the damage of Fractured Core by 15% on Mythic difficulty.
- Artificer Xy’mox
- Reduced the energy regeneration rate of Xy Acolytes on Raid Finder and Normal difficulty.
- Prototype Pantheon
- Withering Seeds now spawn nearby Necrotic Ritualists on all difficulties.
- Halondrus the Reclaimer
- Fixed an issue causing players to be unable to mount in the Shimmering Cliffs.
- Fixed an issue causing rogues to be unable to use Shadowstep against Halondrus.
- Anduin Wrynn
- 3 Grim Reflections are now summoned on Heroic difficulty (was 4).
- Monstrous Soul Health reduced by 5% on Heroic difficulty.
- Monstrous Soul’s Necrotic Detonation can be cast while moving on all difficulties.
- Befouled Barrier absorb amount reduced by 25% on Normal and Heroic difficulty.
- Remorseless Winter damage reduced by 20% on Normal and Heroic difficulty.
- Holy Priest’s healing Anduin’s Hope with Guardian Spirit active should now reduce the cooldown of Guardian Spirit.

- Lords of Dread
- Players are now protected from Cloud of Carrion for a brief moment after being afflicted with Paranoia.
- Mythic+
- Encrypted Affix

- Decreased Vy Interceptor’s teleport frequency and range.
- Mythic Dungeons
- Enemy damage increased by 21% and health increased by 31% on Mythic Dungeon difficulty.
- Developers’ note: We are fixing an issue with the difficulty of Mythic Dungeons (Mythic 0) not being increased by the intended amount with the start of Season 3, which has caused an unintended difficulty gap between Mythic 0 and Mythic +2. After the change goes live momentarily, it should help make advancing from Mythic 0 dungeons into attempting Keystones feel smoother and less of a big jump in difficulty.
Player versus Player
- Fixed an issue that caused players to gain twice the amount of credit for “Soloing Strategy” weekly quest while participating in Solo Shuffle.
- Fixed an issue that prevented Maldraxxus Coliseum from being selected as a map for War Games.

- Fixed an issue where Jarl Velbrand’s level was too high for the quest “To Tame the Drekirjar.”
- Homing Robot OOX-09/HL will no longer get lost when trying to cross the water during the quest “Rescue OOX-09/HL!”

Has there been any talks about potential buffs/a deeper insight to the elemental changes? Would love to hear more from the team!

Hi Linxy,
Can you please respond to the elemental adjustments in these patch notes? The community has been more active than ever in opposing these changes, or at least providing feedback for buffs to offset a rather huge single target reduction caused by something not considered by blizzard to be a ‘class balance’ issue. It’s incredibly disheartening to see so many passionate shaman players actively trying to get developer attention on these changes to no avail.
Thank you!

So, you guys really hate shaman in general right?
Ele had a build and now it’s removed with nothing to compensate them and Enhancement had a HUGE QoL change only to be destroyed making the spec feel really weird to play now.
I’d rather see a change in how much damage flame shock does rather than have this change to flame shock (at least the refresh part, the rest is ok)

Removing lava lash refresh is annoying and doesn’t really change anything so why would you take it away? Everytime enhancement starts to feel good you guys do stupid things like this.
Edit: Just saw on shaman forums they are going to put back in refresh in another hotfix thank you !!!
so cringe that a blue still hasn’t addressed the ‘accessability’ change to ele shaman that was effectively a large nerf with no compensation.
really hoping that changes soon…
