What's changed in Forever

  • Shadowform lets you cast every non-healing spell, at half the mana cost and with bigger crits.
  • 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.

From Blizzard: Class Deep Dives: Priest and Warrior (Sep 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.
