Today, we’ve implemented hotfixes that focus on two areas of concern.

As we’ve monitored PvP matches since our PvP mana changes to healers and Restoration Druids, we’ve found that Lifebloom, as a source of healing, has become too-efficient. While the reduction to Focused Growth’s increased healing and mana cost savings is a sizeable change, Restoration Druids have a wide variety of well-performing PvP talent options to fit in its place.

Druid

  • Restoration
  • Focused Growth now reduces the mana cost of Lifebloom by 8% (was 20%).
  • Focused Growth now increases the healing of Lifebloom by 8% per stack (was 20%).

Additionally, we’ve identified an Azerite Trait that has been providing too much healing in an arena environment when multiple members of a team equip the trait.

Items

  • Heart of Azeroth
  • Bonded Souls healing reduced by 85% when engaged in combat with enemy players (was 50%).
