Classic diff
WoW Forever vs Classic
A structured pre-Beta comparison of the talent system. The diff is useful for discovery, but community-transcribed and estimated Forever tooltips remain provisional until Beta validation.
Unofficial pre-Beta research data. This page is compiled from Blizzard announcements, BlizzCon/demo footage, media reporting, and community transcriptions. It is not a final official Blizzard database. Individual facts are labeled by verification level; community-transcribed and estimated values may be incomplete, incorrect, or changed before Beta and release. When available, Blizzard-confirmed and gameplay-verified evidence takes precedence.

What this comparison means
New means the research archive has a Forever talent without a matching Classic talent in that position/name set.
Changed includes effect, rank, placement, or naming differences detected by the research pipeline.
Removed rows come from the Classic-side comparison archive and should be rechecked when Beta data is complete.
