A late night hotfix has nerfed Elemental Shaman's AoE!
Elemental Shaman's AoE was absolutely disgusting on the Patch and a late night hotfix has gone in!
Lightning Rod take 10% of damage taken (was 20% of damage taken) for Elemental Shaman only (not Enhancement)
With the changes made in patch 11.0.5 to increase the effectiveness of several Elemental talents and cooldowns such as Ascendance, the Lightning Rod talent greatly overperformed. With a hotfix that went live a little while ago:
- Elemental
Lightning Rod now transfers 10% of all lightning damage dealt to Lightning Rod targets (was 20%).
This reduction should significantly reduce its effectiveness in AoE damage situations, and less so when fighting a single target.
This change may require Shamans who were online and using the Stormbringer hero talent tree to either log out and back in or swap to the Totemic hero talent tree and back to the Stormbringer hero talent tree for their Conductive Energy hero talent to properly work.
