Class identity is the starting point

Blizzard has announced new abilities, talent changes and additional race–class combinations for Forever. The stated direction is to address gaps while preserving distinct class roles and meaningful trade-offs. That confirms a design direction; it does not verify a complete talent tree. Official recap

The class-specific choices we can substantiate

Class Confirmed Skyborne availability What this does not establish
Warrior, Hunter, Rogue Both factions A strongest race or best damage build
Druid Both factions, with new Skyborne forms Exact form mechanics or a healing / tanking ranking
Mage Alliance Skyborne Superiority over another race
Shaman Horde Skyborne Exact talent balance or a best specialization
Paladin, Priest, Warlock Not in the announced Skyborne list That these classes are absent from Forever itself

Official Skyborne class announcement

What should a returning player recheck?

  • Abilities: whether a familiar skill still works the way you remember.
  • Talents: the actual tree and numbers for the current build.
  • Group role: what your specialization can reliably contribute in tested content.
  • Race: legal faction and class combinations before any performance comparison.

This is a verification checklist, not gameplay advice. The launch edition of this site has not tested any class in beta.

Why there is no build calculator yet

A calculator would imply that the full tree, prerequisites and ranks are known. Media lists can be useful research leads, but we have not validated their completeness or every number. We will only publish a build after attaching its source or reproducible test and build identifier.

For a decision you can make today, use the Skyborne class selector. For announced systems, read Legacy and Camping.
