Enhancement

Developers’ notes: Enhancement Shaman in the Liberation of Undermine patch are performing higher than we would like. We’re making adjustments to the new Flowing Spirits talent as well as the Nerub-ar Palace and Liberation of Undermine tier set bonuses.

  • Nerub-ar Palace 4-piece set Bonus – Now has a 20% chance to summon an extra spirit when talented into Flowing Spirits. The tooltip will not reflect this change until a future patch.

  • Chaos Bolt damage increased by 20%.
  • Summon Infernal damage increased by 35%.

Developers’ notes: We’re making adjustments to Hellcaller to reduce its Soul Shard economy and increase its damage as compensation. When the availability of Soul Shards increases for Destruction, it reaches a point where Rain of Fire begins to surpass Chaos Bolt in damage output for single target due to the difference in casting times.

  • Hellcaller: Wither damage increased by 35%.
  • Hellcaller: Wither now deals damage every 3 seconds (was 2 seconds).

Developers’ notes: We recognize that with these changes Wither damage will also be impacted. We are distributing the lost throughput across the rest of the Hellcaller kit for Destruction.
