What's changed in Forever
- Blizzard promises Affliction “full viability” and “competitive damage”; Wrack, its 31-point talent, was buffed again in the final notes.
- Curse of Agony and Curse of Doom are now Banes, one per Warlock on a target, and Firestone and Spellstone work like weapon imbues.
- Pets scale with your own stats, and Drain Soul can give a Soul Shard on any tick.

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.
