Races
Ranked by how many of a race's racials touch what this spec does, read out of the game's own wording and out of the weapon its gear list aims for. Those are lit; the number on the right is the count. It is a measure, not a verdict: nothing in the beta has been parsed yet, so anything stronger would be a guess.

What Forever changed
9 new, 28 rewritten, 0 no longer taught, across the whole class. Every ability, rank by rank.
In the Discipline tree
- PenanceA channelled heal that can be aimed at an enemy for damage instead, giving Discipline its own identity.
Elsewhere in Priest
- Prayer of MendingA heal that bounces between party members as they take damage, which Classic healing had no equivalent for.
- Binding HealHeals you and your target at once, which removes the worst part of healing as a Priest in Classic.
- Devouring Plague and Litany of LightDevouring Plague is no longer Undead-only, and Litany of Light adds a Holy throughput cooldown.
- Shadow DoTs can critShadow Word: Pain and Vampiric Touch scale with crit for the first time.
New abilities
An X stands where the client would put a number it works out from your own character. The source publishes the formula rather than the value, so it is left as X rather than guessed at.
- Divine GraceInstantly heals a friendly target below 50% Health for 144 to 183 and removes Weakened Soul from that target. Cannot be cast on self.
- ChastiseChastise the target, causing 43 to 49 Holy damage and Immobilizing them for up to 2 sec. Only works against Humanoids. This spell causes very low threat
- Binding HealHeals a friendly target and the caster for 295 to 354. Low threat.
- Prayer of MendingPlaces a spell on the target that heals them for X the next time they take damage or receive non-periodic healing. When the heal occurs, Prayer of Mending jumps to a party or raid member within 20 yards. Jumps up to 5 times and lasts 30 sec after each jump. This spell can only be placed on one target at a time per caster.
- Dark SacrificeCannibalize 440 of your own Health over 15 sec to gain 440 Mana.
- Shadow Word: DeathA word of dark binding that inflicts 293 to 312 Shadow damage to the target. If your target is not killed by Shadow Word: Death, you take backlash damage equal to 10% of your maximum health.
- Confounding FlashConfuses up to 5 enemies within 8 yds for 3 sec. Any damage taken will break the effect.
- Contingency PlanPlace a Holy ward on an ally for 30 sec. The next time this ally takes damage dropping their Health below 35%, they will gain a shield absorbing X damage and begin healing for X Health over 15 sec. A target may be affected by only one Contingency Plan.
- PenanceLaunches a volley of holy light at the target, causing 113 Holy damage to an enemy, or 291 healing to an ally, instantly and every 1 sec for 2 sec.
