World of Warcraft’s September 1 Reset Will Correct a Shaman Healing Bug
Farseer's Natural Harmony will no longer increase Nature's Guardian healing beyond its intended value, while Elemental's PvP cooldown reduction will be smaller.
World of Warcraft‘s September 1 class-tuning reset will include a fix for a Shaman Hero Talent bug, along with a smaller PvP cooldown adjustment for Elemental. Blizzard added the new entries to its September 1 class-tuning forum thread.
Natural Harmony has been increasing Nature’s Guardian healing by 20%, even though its listed and intended value is 10%. The reset will correct that interaction. Blizzard also confirmed that the planned Elemental PvP healing adjustment will not go live with this batch.
Elemental’s remaining PvP change is narrower. Under Farseer, Natural Harmony will reduce Nature’s Guardian’s cooldown by 10 seconds instead of 15 seconds. The previously shown healing change, which would have lowered the bonus from 10% of maximum health to 5%, will not be applied in this reset.
World of Warcraft Patch Notes for September 1
The class section fixes the Natural Harmony interaction, while the PvP section lowers the cooldown reduction for Elemental. The official notes retain the canceled healing adjustment with strikethrough, making clear that it is not part of the September 1 changes.
The following Shaman adjustments were added to this week’s class tuning update:
Classes
- Shaman
- Developers’ notes: A bug was discovered that was causing Natural Harmony to increase Nature’s Guardian healing more than intended, which will be fixed alongside the tuning changes in this week’s reset. As a result, the Elemental PvP-specific healing adjustment that was listed will not be going out with these changes.
- 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%.
- Farseer
Player versus Player
- Shaman
- Elemental
- Farseer: Natural Harmony now reduces the cooldown of Nature’s Guardian by 10 seconds (was 15 seconds) and increases its healing by 5% of max health (was 10%) in PvP combat.
