I'm sure you've all seen it by now, but I'm posting in blue to make it easier for people to find on the EU forums:

Q u o t e:
Elemental shaman were told that while we'd be nerfing the damage coefficients for lightning bolt and chain lightning bolt in patch 2.3, overall they'd notice a damage increase. We know most of your tests reveal a damage decrease, however. We've been running extensive tests of our own and have identified that there is approximately a 6% nerf to elemental dps (depending on gear of course). As a result, we're going to increase lightning bolt and chain lightning bolt's coefficient so that elemental shaman gain approximately 5 to 6% of their damage back if you assume roughly 1200 spell damage.

It should break down as follows

If you have below 1100 spell damage you will see a slight buff to your dps

If you are between 1100 and 1200 spell damage you should see neither a decrease or increase to your dps

If you are over 1200 spell damage you will see a slight nerf to your dps.

This change should be hotfixed onto the PTR at some point soon, and we'll be watching the situation closely.

As you can see from the timestamps (and if you factor in timezones) this was posted in the U.S. just after the last of us went home for the weekend on Friday :)

So sorry for the delay in posting, but hopefully this will cheer you up at least a little :P
