Provisional Forever data and Classic planning rules. When the dataset changes, older links are flagged as outdated rather than loaded without validation.
Provisional: community data, not the final Blizzard client
470 talents from WoW Forever Talents, structurally compared with Talents Forever. 27 entries differ in position, rank count or prerequisite and are marked orange. Sources partly use the same footage; agreement is not independent confirmation. We have not checked every tooltip or higher-rank value ourselves.
Planner rules: one point per level from 10, up to 51; five points per unlocked tier. Classic rules provisionally assumed for Forever. One invalid Rogue node is locked: the source requires 5/3 Precision for Dual Wield Specialization. No Legacy or profession trees. Talent names and effects retain the English source text.
Icons compared with community talent trees on September 17. Where symbols differ, we follow WoW Forever Talents; verification in the Forever client is pending.

New findings. Open questions.
· Chronicle updated
Chronicle updated: recent individual reviews appear alongside older findings. This date does not mean every source was rechecked. Current video review scope and class coverage appear below; actual Forever gameplay tests remain pending.
Warrior: stance and cooldowns
Recorded Esfand’s Thunder Clap and Shield Wall commentary. Recklessness not individually confirmed; an edited stream is not independent corroboration.
Selected captions ↗Druid: open interactions
MMARKERS: selected captions reviewed. Questions on other players’ bleeds, healing and mana efficiency documented as open.
Selected caption review · 15 September 2026 ↗Rogue: duel commentary assessed
Recorded Sodapoppin’s Blind commentary separately from subsequent cleansing assumptions. Not our own aura test.
Selected caption review · 15 September 2026 ↗Priest: race comparison remains open
Recorded Night Elf Devouring Plague commentary; generalization to every race is unconfirmed.
Selected caption review · 15 September 2026 ↗Shaman: wishes separated from demo claims
Selected caption passages from Esfand’s September 14 video were reviewed. Wishes remain separate from demo claims. Improved Ghost Wolf was additionally checked visually at 6:17: first point, displayed 0/2. This verifies neither the second rank nor all later tooltips.
Esfand · 6:17 · first-rank visual check ↗Guzu video: captions now reviewed
Group discussion from 47:43 describes Frost damage and control positively. This is a subjective demo impression; automatic captions do not reliably identify the speaker. The windows around 45:08 and 48:03 provide no spoken confirmation of Ghost Wolf or Totemic Projection. This neither confirms nor rules out visible tooltips.
Guzu · First Look · 13 September · automatic captions ↗New community review leads
The September 15 search found reports of corrected Shaman and Warrior details in community talent calculators. These leads are not video evidence verified by us. Existing talent values therefore remain unchanged. The Blizzard Deep Dive was rechecked as a primary source.
Community leads · 15 September 2026 ↗Deep Dive: new answers in the lexicon
New topic overview for Legacy, rulesets, Hardcore, Paladin, camping and transmog. Will of the Forsaken now reflects Blizzard’s explicit statement that it grants no subsequent immunity.
Blizzard · Forever Deep Dive ↗Talent text: 22 review cases after source updates
The comparison found updates to 76 talents, including rank-text differences in 22. These include withdrawn values, wording corrections and new claims, not 76 balance changes. Affected rank texts are hidden pending review. Talent points, prerequisites and saved builds are unchanged.
WoW Forever Talents · comparison 22:39 UTC ↗Races: 34 abilities with direct video sources
Additional review on 13 September: 31 racial descriptions read in Savix’s character-selection footage; three others marked as transcript evidence. Includes Stoneform, weapon bonuses, Eureka, Cannibalize and Rapid Regeneration. Original images and DE/EN summaries are in the race guide. Demo text is not final mechanic verification.
Forever Codex · DE / EN · racial evidence ↗Druid: five source updates, not a balance update
Compared with our import, Genesis, Feral Swiftness, King of the Jungle, Rend and Tear and Wild Growth received icon mappings and source notes. No talents were added or removed; rank texts, rank counts and prerequisites were unchanged. The notes reference WotLK icons, not a verified Forever client. Now applied as presentation-only icon mappings; our imported snapshot and all effect values remain unchanged.
WoW Forever Talents · Druid ↗Warlock: another lead on Improved Corruption
Crixxious reports six hours with the convention demo, capped at level 38. Improved Corruption reportedly reduces cast time and increases damage together. This qualitatively matches the community dataset, but does not confirm our percentages or every rank; specific tooltip footage is still needed.
Crixxious · hands-on report · 13 Sep 2026 ↗Skyborne classes: rechecked against Blizzard
Blizzard lists Warriors, Hunters, Rogues and Druids for both factions, with Shamans for the Horde and Mages for the Alliance. New druid forms and racials are announced, but the recap does not provide a complete table of effects and values. This is a recheck, not a new announcement.

Comments surface questions, not representative statistics. Screenshots only establish the visible rank and demo version. Datamining requires a publicly available client and build number; we have not independently verified a full Forever client. The six-hour check is scheduled as a Codex task, not an always-on server crawler. The last documented successful review above remains authoritative.

Abilities and talent changes from the BlizzCon demo, with direct sources for the featured effects.
Conflicts & common mistakes
- Undead: proc chance is not healing amount.
- Hot Streak: not automatically instant Pyroblast.
- Shaman Dual Wield: Savix questions his own initial assumption.
- Same name ≠ identical Retail, SoD or TBC ability.
Featured abilities reflect the demo version. Values and talent trees may change before release.
