Build 1.60.1.70938: Enhancement Shaman tooltips reworked and classic epics added

2026-11-13 · ForeverDB

Live build 1.60.1.70938 (13 November) reworks several Enhancement Shaman talents and the Flametongue and Windfury Weapon tooltips, doubles Wild Growth's spell power coefficient for Druids, and adds 52 items including classic epics like Felstriker and Quel'Serrar. There's no Blizzard post about it yet, so these come from the client files.

Live build 1.60.1.70938 landed on 13 November, after build 1.60.1.70888. The files change 2 abilities, 4 talents and 11 spells, and add 52 items while changing 83 more. The headline is on the Shaman side: Maelstrom Weapon, Mental Dexterity and Stormstrike all have reworked numbers, and the weapon imbue tooltips drop the line about totems. Druids get a doubled spell power coefficient on Wild Growth, and a batch of classic epics like Felstriker and Quel'Serrar now sit in the files. There's no Blizzard post about this build yet, so everything below is read from the client.
