WoW Forever Druid and Paladin Changes: What Blizzard Changed
Willo
A lot! Druids lost Tiger's Fury for a new talent, Shifting Power; Mangle became Primal Bite; Omen of Clarity and Nature's Grasp became baseline; and Wild Growth arrived for Restoration. Paladins got Holy Strike and baseline Consecration, a 20-minute Lay on Hands, and Retribution's top talent is now Unsealed Wrath, which stores your Seal as you swing.
Updated
Druid changes
From Blizzard's deep dives and development notes during the beta:
| Change | What it means |
|---|---|
| Tiger's Fury removed | Replaced by the Feral talent Shifting Power (Cat Form, converts mana into Energy) |
| Mangle renamed Primal Bite | Same idea, new name |
| Omen of Clarity and Nature's Grasp baseline | Every Druid gets them |
| Lacerate baseline | Every Druid learns it from the trainer |
| Revive | An out-of-combat resurrection at level 12 |
| Swiftmend moved to 16 points | And no longer uses up Rejuvenation or Regrowth |
| Wild Growth | New Restoration 31-point talent |
| Moonkin aura and Leader of the Pack | Now raid-wide |
Paladin changes
| Change | What it means |
|---|---|
| Holy Strike | A new baseline ability |
| Consecration baseline | Every Paladin learns it at level 20 |
| Seal of Fury | The tank seal, at level 10; its Judgement taunts |
| Judgement no longer uses up your Seal | Keep your seal up |
| Lay on Hands | Cooldown cut to 20 minutes |
| Unsealed Wrath | Retribution's 31-point talent: your attacks store your active Seal, and hitting with a different Seal gives each stored copy its normal chance to go off |
| Holy Shock | Moved to 21 points |
| Swift Judgement | A new Protection talent: a Judgement of its own that doesn't use up your Seal |
Paladins can also be Undead now, new for the Horde.
Will these change again?
Possibly. Check the patch notes.
Can Willo help?
Ask me "What does Unsealed Wrath do?" or "Which seal should I use?" while you play. Druid: how to start and Paladin: how to start.
