Reviewed November 13, 2026. Blizzard published two substantial post-launch hotfix lists dated November 10 and November 11, 2026. These are live-service changes and should not be mistaken for a new Battle.net client build. The latest independently tracked client remains 1.60.1.70888 from November 10.
The class changes that matter first
Enhancement Shaman received a 150%-to-100% Stormstrike weapon-damage reduction, a cooldown change from 6 to 8 seconds, new Mental Dexterity ratios and rank-dependent Maelstrom Weapon proc rates. Hunter pets were corrected from 150% to 115% normal health, while Hawk melee damage increased by approximately 80%. Warlock Imp damage and demon durability received targeted increases. Paladin Judgement now uses ranged hit rules, changing which attack procs it can trigger.
Restoration and talent interactions
On November 10, Nature's Swiftness began making Wild Growth instant. Separately, a later Wild Growth hotfix reported by Wowhead stopped the spell being cast while moving and raised its spell-power coefficient from 0.033 to 0.066. Feral Rend and Tear now affects Pounce Bleed, and several Priest Shadowform interactions were corrected.
Items, quests and support
The November 11 hotfix changed five Tailoring bags, fixed Riverglades enemy damage values, enabled direct gold rewards on most quests at level 48 and above, and temporarily disabled Blizzard's Item Restoration service while a critical bug is investigated. Auction House deposit and mail improvements that were initially announced are postponed to the scheduled November 17 maintenance, according to Blizzard's subsequent forum clarification.
Where to read more
These changes do not all belong to build 70888; some were applied entirely on the server. Follow the Enhancement Shaman guide, Hunter changes and Wild Growth analysis for class-specific details. The Talent & Class Change Tracker now distinguishes official changes from older archived talent exports.
