  • Developers' notes: We discovered and fixed a tricky bug that was active on the PTR, that was increasing the amount of free Maelstrom spending abilities Elemental Shaman could get from the Venomous Abyss 4-piece set bonus. This was inflating their damage dealt, so alongside the bug fix, we're increasing their damage to compensate.
