What Blizzard has said

Blizzard's own statements about the Warlock in Forever, then what it has said about every class, each tagged and sourced. The trees and abilities below are what the beta client carries, build 1.60.1.69913; they will move as the beta does.

  • Troll Warlocks are one of the six new race and class combinations. Spellcaster weapons now grant spell damage, and Undead Cannibalize restores Mana as well as Health, which Blizzard names as useful for Warlocks.

    Confirmed Blizzard — Deep Dive panel recap

  • Blizzard’s Deep Dive recap names six new race and class combinations: Gnome Priest, Human Hunter, Dwarf Shaman, Orc Mage, Troll Warlock and Undead Paladin, “with more planned for future updates.”

    Confirmed Blizzard — Deep Dive panel recap

  • Talent trees keep Classic’s structure: the same number of rows, milestone talents at 11, 21 and 31 points, and a new 16-point milestone. Some talents are unchanged from patch 1.12, some adjusted, and key class buffs (Divine Spirit, Blessing of Kings, Improved Mark of the Wild) are now baseline. Each race gets two active and two passive racial abilities, reworked to be stronger and more distinct.

    Confirmed Blizzard — Deep Dive panel recap

  • Combat keeps Classic’s pace: an ordinary creature takes a solo player “roughly 10–15 seconds to defeat,” crowd control still matters in dungeons, and damage dealers still respect threat. Spell, melee and ranged hit chance are combined into one stat, as are the three crit chances. Paladins are the first class detailed; “more class and race details are planned through future videos and articles.”

    Confirmed Blizzard — Deep Dive panel recap

  • Blizzard: class identity “remains central,” with “new abilities, new race and class combinations, and updates designed to preserve the feel of the original game.” The updates “focus on talents and abilities you notice, meaningful trade-offs, and reasons to value what each class brings.”

    Confirmed Blizzard — What’s Next panel recap

  • The Battle.net Shop describes “updated class design” and “an expanded list of race and class options, including Dwarf Shaman and Forsaken Paladin.”

Talents (52 talents, 149 ranks)

The three trees as the Forever beta client holds them, row by row: each row opens after the points its label names have been spent in that tree, and a talent that needs another says so. Every rank's sentence is the client's own, its numbers filled in. Talents marked changed differ from Classic in their wording, ranks, place or prerequisite, and show Classic's wording underneath; new ones have no Classic counterpart. Classic talents a tree no longer has close each column.
