WoW Forever Druid, Warlock and Priest highlights: dated beta changes

Blizzard’s 1 October beta notes remove Tiger’s Fury and introduce Shifting Power: in Cat Form, it converts 55% of base Mana into 40 Energy on a 16-second cooldown. The 8 October update prevents using it at full Energy, fixes Mana Potion use in Bear, Dire Bear and Cat Form, and raises Bear-form threat bonuses from 30% to 50%.

For the class’s talent trees and the separate evidence cuts, open the Druid guide.

Blizzard’s Priest deep dive gives all Priests Fear Ward and Devouring Plague at level 20, and baseline Divine Spirit at 30. Its 8 October notes correct Penance’s damage and healing calculation for a two-second channel and increase rank-one Mana cost by 50%. They also increase healing at ranks two and four, so describing the whole change as one uniform nerf would miss the rank differences.

Open the Priest guide for Discipline, Holy and Shadow, with the source limits shown beside their records.

The 8 October beta notes say your current demon is stunned while you summon a replacement. They also adjust early Shadow Bolt ranks and restrict Demonic Brand’s high-threat bonus pet damage to its Shadow-damage component. Blizzard’s Deep Dive recap names Troll Warlock as a new race/class option.

Open the Warlock guide for the Affliction, Demonology and Destruction records. These dated beta changes do not establish a launch build, a tested rotation or which class will do the most damage.
