WoW: Forever Hotfixes Enhancement Shaman Legendary After Major Spec Overhaul
Blizzard has deployed a significant hotfix to the Enhancement Shaman class weapon, accompanying a complete overhaul of the specialization.
Legendary Weapon Receives Updates
According to Wowhead, the development team has applied modifications to Rage of the Storm, the legendary weapon exclusive to Enhancement Shamans. This hotfix, deployed during the weekly reset, affects the attack speed and statistical properties of the item.
Broader Class Changes Go Live
This technical intervention accompanies a larger revision of the specialization. The developers recently confirmed that significant adjustments for Enhancement Shamans have gone live, including the ability to use weapon imbues and weapon totems simultaneously—two mechanics previously mutually exclusive.
The changes also include a reduction to Stormstrike's damage coefficient, now set at 100% weapon damage down from 150%, alongside adjustments to the ability's cooldown.
A Shift in Gearing Priorities
Blizzard had announced these adjustments aimed to reorient the specialization's gearing priorities. Enhancement Shamans will now need to favor Strength and Attack Power over Spell Power, marking a significant change in their character optimization approach on WoW: Forever.
