What's changed in Forever

  • Prayer of Mending bounces heals around the group; Binding Heal was cut, and Flash Heal on others also heals you for half as much.
  • Blizzard calls Priests “the most versatile healer”, but also “a very vulnerable class” with few ways to escape.
  • Fear Ward and Devouring Plague are learned by every Priest at 20, Divine Spirit at 30.

Class traits are what each class is known for, adjusted where Blizzard's Forever posts changed it. Blizzard's aim for Forever isn't perfect balance: it's for every class to feel valuable to the groups it joins. Talents can still change in hotfixes. Player numbers update about once an hour.
