• Buff
  Righteous Fury is learned at level 16 → 10. The build files still say 16.

• Fix
  The demon stat tooltip now says each point of your Stamina gives your demon 2 Health (was 7.5), the same as the other pet tooltips. Only the tooltip text changed.

• New
  Three mounts: Spectral Wolf Pack, Verdant Sea Turtle and Crimson Rooster. Each needs level 60 and Journeyman Riding.
• New
  Spectral Wolf Pack carries up to two nearby party members: when you mount, they are asked to join ("The Spectral Wolf Pack calls. Mount up to join!") and ride along while they stay near you.
• New
  Three companion pets: Pinky, Gill'el and Blossoming Ancient, which changes with the seasons.
• New
  A toy, Adventurer's Tent: it puts up a miniature tent for 15 min, and any Camp Tent you place in that time looks like an Adventurer's Tent. 15 min cooldown.
• New
  Two appearance sets you collect in one go: Ensemble: Gilded Blademaster's Armor (8 pieces: head, shoulders, chest, belt, legs, boots, gloves and a banner worn on the back) and Ensemble: Stillwater Fisher Attire (a straw hat, mantle, sash and Cloak of the Veiled Paws).

• Change
  When a quest offers a single reward to choose, it is now picked for you, so Complete Quest works without clicking the reward first.

• Change
  The Legacy tree shows each node's ranks as "current/max" (for example 2/5) in white, on a box at the node's lower right. Rewards on the Legacy reward track light up when you point at them.

Sent by the server between 13 and 21 Oct, while 1.60.1.70450 and then this build were live, and read from the official Forever client.

• Change
  Ice Barrier now also raises your Frost damage by 3% for 1 min, and by another 3% while the shield holds. The amount it absorbs is unchanged (431, 542, 671 and 811 by rank), and while it holds, damage still does not cost you casting time.
• Change
  Winter's Chill is now applied by Frostbolt, Frost Blast and Fingers of Frost empowered Ice Lance (was any Frost damage spell; the chance is still 20% per rank). Each stack makes your next Cone of Cold deal 40% → 5% more damage to the target and adds 7% of your spell damage to it, up to 5 stacks.

• Change
  Amplify Curse: the hotfix takes Bane of Agony out of the spells its +50% reaches (only Curse of Weakness is left), although the tooltip still names it, and adds a second effect that the tooltip reads as "your next Curse of Exhaustion by 20%". Not yet checked in game.

• Change
  Tooltip wording only: Twilight Focus, Healing Focus, Nature's Focus, Intensity, Fel Concentration and Improved Channeling now say they give a chance to not lose casting time when you take damage (they said "avoid interruption caused by damage"). Eye of the Storm now reads the same way, a 70% chance at 3 ranks, where it said it reduced pushback by 70%. Their values did not change.

• Change
  Shred Rank 1 is learned at level 22 → 20 and its flat bonus damage is 24 → 22. Ranks 2 to 5 are unchanged: the tooltip now works its numbers out instead of showing fixed ones, which is why they look lower than before.

• Change
  Arcane Blast's stacking buff is reworked: each stack now gives spell damage equal to 15% of your Intellect (was +10% damage to your other spells), and it lasts 15 sec from the first cast (was 8 sec, or until you cast another damage spell). The +175% mana cost per stack and the 4-stack cap stay.
• New
  Arcane Wrath, a new Arcane spell with 4 ranks (levels 25, 36, 48 and 60): 3.5 sec cast, 6 sec cooldown, 30 yd range. Rank 1 deals 108 to 132 Arcane damage for 140 Mana (Rank 4: 395 Mana), and it gains extra spell damage equal to 5% of your maximum Mana. How it is learned is not in the data yet.
• New
  Frost Blast, a new Frost spell with 3 ranks (levels 24, 36 and 48): a quick 1.5 sec cast that deals light Frost damage (Rank 1: 25 to 27 for 40 Mana) and slows movement by 40% for 9 sec.

  Ice Lance's bonus against Frozen targets is 300% → 200% on every rank.
• Change
  Cone of Cold's tooltip adds that the first 4 targets hit are slowed by an extra 10% for an extra 3 sec. The slow itself (40% for 6 sec) is unchanged, and so far only Rank 5 carries the new effect in the data.

• Nerf
  Judgement of Righteousness (Seal of Righteousness) gets less from spell power on all 8 ranks: 50% → 42.9%. Judgement of Fury (Seal of Fury): 45% → 42.9%.
• Change
  Seal of Righteousness's tooltip now shows its damage per hit growing with your spell power and with Improved Seals. The lower whole numbers it shows (for example Rank 1 "1 to 4", was "1.2 to 4.3") are rounding, not a damage cut.
• Nerf
  Seal of Fury Rank 3 is learned at level 25 → 26.
• Nerf

• Buff
  Vampiric Embrace cooldown 1 min → 30 sec.
• Nerf

It is in the game data, but nothing in this build teaches it yet.

• Buff
  Strength of Earth Totem, Grace of Air Totem, Windfury Totem and Flametongue Totem now affect raid members in range, not only your party (every rank). Mana Spring, Healing Stream, Stoneskin, Windwall, Tranquil Air and Mana Tide Totems still affect the party only.
• Change
  Lava Burst ranks come ten levels earlier and a new Rank 4 is added: learned at 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 (was 40 / 50 / 60).
