World of Warcraft Patch Notes – July 30, 2021

Items and Rewards

• Shards of Domination
  • [With weekly maintenance in each region] Blood Link – The damage and healing amount has been increased at all ranks by 20%.
  • [With weekly maintenance in each region] Winds of Winter – The amount of damage and healing stored by the Winds has been increased at all ranks by ~45%.
    • Developers’ note: The difference between the three Rune Words for the Shards of Domination system is bigger than we want it to be. We have identified and fixed a bug in Winds of Winter which was preventing some damaging and healing abilities from counting towards its total, and we have retuned Winds of Winter and Blood Link so that the relative power between Rune Word bonuses is more balanced.
