- Click to spend a point, right-click to take one back.
- A green border means partly filled, gold means maxed. That is the convention the game uses, so a written guide reads the same here.
- Each row needs 5 points in that tree for every row above it. Arrows mark talents that need another talent maxed first.
- A small + marks a talent that is new in Forever (4 of 51 on Druid).

- New is new in Forever, Changed means the text, rank, level or cost differs from Classic, and Gone is a Classic ability the Forever trainer no longer teaches. Anything unmarked is identical in both.
- The level column is where rank 1 is learnt. Later ranks are listed under the name.
- Read out of the Forever client and compared against Classic Era, so this is the kit as it stands in the build, not a patch note.
What changed
-
Omen of Clarity is baselineIt no longer costs a talent, and it now procs from spellcasting rather than melee alone. That is why it is missing from the Feral tree. -
MangleA single bleed-amplifying strike usable in both cat and bear form, which gives Feral one button that matters in either role. -
EclipseWrath and Starfire now feed each other instead of competing, turning Balance's rotation into an alternating cycle. - Wild GrowthRestoration gets a genuine group heal. Classic Druid healing was almost entirely single-target.
- Damage over time can critMoonfire, Insect Swarm and Rip all benefit, which changes how Balance and Feral scale with gear.
