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
4 new, 25 rewritten, 1 no longer taught, across the whole class. Every ability, rank by rank.
In the Feral Combat tree
-
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. - Primal BiteA single strike usable in both cat and bear form, which gives Feral one button that matters in either role.
- Damage over time can critMoonfire, Insect Swarm and Rip all benefit, which changes how Balance and Feral scale with gear.
Elsewhere in Druid
-
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.
New abilities
- LacerateLacerates the enemy target, making them bleed for 50 damage over 15 sec plus 10% weapon damage per existing application of Lacerate on the target. Causes a high amount of threat. This effect stacks up to 5 times on the same target.
- Primal BiteBite the target for 100% normal damage plus 26.
- ReviveBrings a dead player back to life with 70 health and 135 mana. Cannot be cast when in combat.
- Wild GrowthHeals the target and their party for 490 over 7 sec. Party members must be within 43.5 yards of target. The amount healed is applied quickly at first, and slows down as Wild Growth reaches its full duration.
