Enhancement Shaman
Blizzard says Beta changes to Enhancement, plus the Elemental Shock and Lightning Bolt changes, pushed the spec too far toward Spell Power and Intellect gear and away from Windfury. Many of these hotfixes reverse those Beta changes. See the Enhancement Shaman talent reference.Source: Blizzard, WoW: Forever Hotfixes - November 10, 2026, checked November 11, 2026.
Blizzard also says it wanted the change before the raid opens, so players do not chase contested items that could lose value later.

Weapon imbues and weapon totems can now be used together, so Windfury Weapon and Windfury Totem can both apply. Rage of the Storm now has 16 Strength (was 16 Intellect) and a 3.6 weapon speed (was 3.2).Source: Blizzard, WoW: Forever Hotfixes - November 10, 2026, checked November 11, 2026.
