Blizzard has released a Hotfix for Cataclysm Classic, removing the Tier 4 Elemental Shaman 2-piece set bonus. This set bonus provided an additional 20% Spellpower, rather than the stated 20 Spellpower.
In its bugged state, this set bonus would have remained Best-in-Slot for the entirety of the expansion. In addition, Shaman Fire Elementals have been adjusted to prefer targets that their user's Flameshock is active on.
June 21, 2024 Cataclysm Classic - Shaman Fire Elementals will now prefer targets that have their master’s Flameshock active on them, and will switch to those targets over targets without their master’s Flameshock. This check occurs only once every several seconds, so may take a little time to occur.
- Temporarily removed the Elemental Shaman (2) Set Bonus on the Burning Crusade Tier 4 set.
Developer’s note: The 2 Piece Elemental Shaman Tier 4 bonus has a bug that existed in original Cataclysm, but was found later on in Warlords of Draenor. If this bonus were to remain in its bugged state, it would cause Elemental Shamans to wear 2 Pieces of The Burning Crusade tier for the entire expansion and we kind of like it when people have to progress their gear. Because the real fix we wish to do requires server restarts, we are removing the 2-set bonus off of the set for the weekend, and then placing it back after server restarts in its fixed state.
