Warlock · Point by point

Your order from level 10, one point per level up to 51. After removing points, dependent steps move later if needed. This is your plan, not a recommended build.

Choose your first talent in the tree to start your leveling path.

Your plan uses the current Forever dataset and selected Talented Legacy rank. Older links are matched by talent name and loaded only if still valid under current rules; otherwise they are rejected as outdated.

October 30 data · comparison across all nine classes

464 talents from Wowhead’s public Forever calculator, compared with wowtbc.gg and other Forever calculators. Differences remain visible on each talent. This records the source snapshot, not verification of every value in the release client.

Without a bonus: one point per level from 10, at most 51. Talented Legacy ranks 1–5 shift the starting level to 9–5; the cap remains 51. Other Legacy and profession trees are not included. Talent names and effects retain their English source text. Old build links load only when talents map unambiguously and the resulting build remains valid.

FROM TALENTS TO CLASS KNOWLEDGE

Warlock · Explore the lexicon

Known class changes, abilities and their sources. Preview observations are not final game values.

THE EVIDENCE CHRONICLE

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.

Source update

Mage: hybrid idea remains unverified

Corgideus captions: recorded Arcane Blast/Frostfire Bolt combination as an open build idea. No rank values imported.

Selected captions ↗

Next check: Compare bonus and stacks in the client.

Source update

Warrior: stance and cooldowns

Recorded Esfand’s Thunder Clap and Shield Wall commentary. Recklessness not individually confirmed; an edited stream is not independent corroboration.

Next check: Test spells and stances individually.

Druid: open interactions

MMARKERS: selected captions reviewed. Questions on other players’ bleeds, healing and mana efficiency documented as open.

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 ↗

Next check: Observe the aura and each removal ability separately.

Source update

Priest: race comparison remains open

Recorded Night Elf Devouring Plague commentary; generalization to every race is unconfirmed.

Selected caption review · 15 September 2026 ↗

Next check: Compare spellbook and trainer for each actually offered Priest race.

Source update

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 ↗

Next check: Check the second rank and other tooltips in original frames. Cajato’s calculator comparison remains a separate source, not independent client evidence.

Source update

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 ↗

Next check: Inspect original frames at the Shaman timestamps. Do not derive spell IDs or talent values from error-prone captions.

Source update

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 ↗

Next check: Visually check Shaman tooltips and Xaryu Thunder Clap. After initial direct retrieval failed, Guzu caption review succeeded; see the new entry.

Official · rechecked

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 ↗

Next check: Continue checking rank-specific talent values against original tooltips.

Source update

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 ↗

Next check: Check new Joardee and Xaryu timestamps and Paladin panel frames; do not automatically adopt values.

Source update

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 ↗

Next check: Check Orc passives, Horde Skysight and missing cooldowns against readable original evidence.

Source update

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 ↗

Next check: Compare original tooltips and icon footage; do not transplant WotLK effect values.

Unverified hands-on report

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 ↗

Next check: Find published gameplay and check the tooltip with a timestamp. Do not extrapolate to level 60 or the beta level cap.

Official · rechecked

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.

Blizzard · What’s Next recap · 12 Sep 2026 ↗

Next check: Find individual evidence for all racial abilities. Do not infer additional classes from omissions.

More research routes & verification rules

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. Automated source checks were stopped. This comparison was performed manually. 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.

Research by class: evidence and open checks

Counts refer to lexicon entries with explicitly recorded evidence types, not fully verified talents. An entry may contain multiple evidence types. Our own Forever-client gameplay tests remain pending for every class.
