Classes & talentsRead Blizzard’s feature overview
A new reason to revisit your class.
All classes and specializations are being revised. Blizzard has also announced Forsaken Paladins, Dwarf Shamans and the Skyborne race.
Our take: class identity is the interesting question here. A new ability can change how a class feels in a group, even before anyone agrees on a strongest build.
What should I check before choosing a build?
Look for the game version, the source of each talent, its available ranks and its prerequisites. Demo footage can reveal an ability without establishing every rule around it. An early build is a plan to investigate, not a confirmed launch recommendation.
What about new items and progression?
New quests, dungeons and changes to professions and Honor are announced. This page does not yet have a verified Forever item catalogue. We’ll add individual item coverage when its source and game version can be established.
