Historical Builds × 70790: 17 Retuned Reference Codes with Per-Build Diffs

With the talent planner on 70790, 10 of the 27 archived builds carry over unchanged and 17 need retuning after the official reworks. This piece gives a reference code for each of the 17 — every one passing engine validation (51-point cap, row gates, prerequisite chains, replay-consistent) — with per-build notes on what moved and why: warrior cleave/rage removals, the paladin oath system and Shieldsworn, rogue prerequisite chains, shaman Lightning Mastery, druid Bloom succession, and more. Scope: editorial retunes grounded in the official notes — not optimal builds, not in-game recommendations; the original builds stay untouched for side-by-side comparison.

Published: 2026-11-07 Game version: Forever 60 (data 70790-hf-2026110) Updated: 2026-11-08

The talent planner is synced with the game client; of the 27 archived builds, 10 carry over unchanged and 17 need retuning after the launch-week reworks. This piece gives a reference code for each of the 17 — all passing engine validation (51-point cap, row gates, prerequisite chains, replay-consistent) — with per-build change notes.

Three scope lines: reference ≠ optimal — these are editorial retunes grounded in the official notes and the new trees; originals stay untouched — build pages keep the original codes with migration checks; valid ≠ recommended — the engine only guarantees the points fit, not the performance.
