Patch changes[]

  • Dragonflight Hotfix (2023-07-24): Fixed an issue where Primordial Wave would not cause [Lightning Bolt] or [Lava Burst] to cleave to targets affected by crowd control.
  • Dragonflight Patch 10.1.5 (2023-07-11): Lava Bursts are no longer fired at enemies affected by breakable crowd control when triggered by Primordial Wave. If the Shaman's primary target is in breakable crowd control when casting a Lava Burst that triggers Primordial Wave, the additional Lava Burst will still fire.
  • Dragonflight Patch 10.0.7 (2023-03-21): Now shows on the Personal Resource Display.
  • Dragonflight Hotfix (2022-12-19): Now causes your next Lightning Bolt to hit all targets with [Flame Shock] for 75% of normal damage for Enhancement only in PvP Combat (down from 150%).
  • Dragonflight Patch 10.0.0 (2022-10-25): Added.
