Sunder the earth in an area around the caster, damaging and stunning enemies hit.

  • Radius: 12 yards ➥ 14 yards
  • Radius no longer increases based on movement or jumping.
  • Now provides CC immunity while casting.

Earthbreaker now affects a larger area, extending from a radius of 12 yards to 14 yards. This expansion means that more enemies can be damaged by the ability. Additionally, the change notes that the radius of the ability will no longer increase based on the player's movement or jumping, providing a more consistent and predictable effect during the battle royale gameplay. However, a great buff to this ability is the fact that it now provides CC immunity while casting.

Transform into a Fae creature, gaining immunity to harmful debuffs, increased movement speed, and damage reduction for a short duration. Cannot attack while transformed. 

Damage Reduction: 50% for 1 second ➥ Completely removed

Previously, Faeform gave players immunity to harmful debuffs, increased movement speed, and a 50% damage reduction for 1 second. With the recent change, the damage reduction has been completely removed. This means that while transformed, players will still benefit from immunity to harmful debuffs and increased movement speed, but they will no longer have the additional protection of damage reduction.

Chain yourself to your current target. While chained, recast Hunter's Chains to advance to your target's position. If your chained target moves out of the chain's range, it will be pulled toward you. 

Projectile speed: 65 ➥ 90

Hunters Advance can now be cast while in stealth, invisible, stunned, and while casting/channeling.

With the recent change, the projectile speed of Hunter's Chains has been increased to 90, meaning that the chains will now travel faster when launched, allowing players to execute their maneuvers more quickly during the battle. You can now pull your enemies closer even when stunned, invisible, or in stealth which is a great buff.

Toss a cluster of steel traps directly in front of the caster, rooting and damaging enemies that trigger them.

Can now be cast while in stealth, invisible, stunned, and while casting/channeling.

Plunderstorm players can now cast Steel Traps even while in stealth, invisible, stunned, which gives them more tactical advantage.

These were all of the current WoW Plunderstorm Ability Changes for March 26th. Stay tuned for more content!
