What's changed in Forever
- Lava Burst was cut in the final notes; Call of Thunder adds 5% crit to Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning, and Lightning Bolt hits harder.
- Totems are easier to manage: a shorter global cooldown, 5-minute buff totems, Totemic Recall and Totemic Projection.
- Weapon imbues last 60 minutes and stack with stones and oils; Windfury and Flametongue Totems buff the whole party.

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.
