Over the first few days of Ghosts of K’aresh content, we’ve been closely monitoring class balance and identifying specializations that are beginning to over- or under-perform in group content and in PvP. With scheduled weekly maintenance in each region, we’ll make the following changes.

Classes

Druid

• Balance
  • All ability damage increased by 8%.
  • Keeper of the Grove: Ornaments of the Mother Eagle 4-piece now accumulates 3% of damage done (was 2%) and Dryad’s Favor is now capped at 10x spellpower (was 6x) and splashes 15% (was 20%) of its damage onto nearby enemies.
  • Elune’s Chosen: Ornaments of the Mother Eagle 2-piece Starfire damage increase changed to 20% (was 25%), and has a 40% chance (was 50%) to launch a Starsurge at 45% effectiveness (was 50%).
  • Elune’s Chosen: Ornaments of the Mother Eagle 4-piece Split Starsurges deal damage at 40% effectiveness (was 80%).
• Restoration
  • Wildstalker: Fixed a bug causing the Ornaments of the Mother Eagle 4-piece bonus to generate extra Symbiotic Blooms for Regrowths cast by Rampant Growth.
  • Wildstalker: Fixed a bug preventing Twin Sprouts from generating extra Bloodseeker Vines or Symbiotic Blooms from the ones created by the Ornaments of the Mother Eagle 4-piece set bonus.
  • Wildstalker: Symbiotic Bloom and Bursting Growth healing increased by 15%.
  • Wildstalker: Ornaments of the Mother Eagle 2-piece bonus increases the rate of Symbiotic Bloom growth by 45% (was 30%).
  • Wildstalker: Ornaments of the Mother Eagle 4-piece now causes Symbiotic Bloom healing to have a 35% (was 20%) chance to trigger Bursting Growth at 100% effectiveness (was 80%).
  • Developers’ notes: The bug involving Rampant Growth was generating a large number of unintended Symbiotic Blooms, which consolidated a lot of Wildstalker’s healing power into the 4-piece and Clearcasting procs. We’ve added healing power to counteract the healing loss from the bug fix.

Monk

• Brewmaster
  • Shado-Pan: Crash of Fallen Storms 2-piece bonus Flurry Strikes deal 10% increased damage (was 20%).
  • Shado-Pan: Crash of Fallen Storms 4-piece bonus Flurry Charge generation increased by 30% (was 50%).
  • Shado-Pan: Damage dealt by Flurry Strikes from Wisdom of the Wall reduced by 20%.

Shaman

• Enhancement
  • Lava Lash damage increased by 15%.
  • Windstrike damage increased by 20%.
  • Totemic: Surging Bolt damage increased by 25%.
