The world
Classes
Nine classes, each with its three talent trees and its spellbook as the Forever beta client holds them: 465 talents with every rank's sentence, 1,571 abilities by level, the trainers who teach them, and the races that can play them. Against Classic, 309 talents changed and 116 are new, and 139 abilities have no Classic counterpart.
Read with care This is the beta as its client describes it, not the finished game: Blizzard has said talents and abilities will keep changing through the beta, and every page here is regenerated as new builds arrive, with the build named. Nothing on these pages has been checked in play yet; a class that has will say so. What Blizzard has said in words about the classes is on the class picker and in the class guides.
