What changes
with Forever?
Start with the announced direction. Treat individual demo numbers as a preview.
The talent tree direction
Blizzard describes a familiar tree structure, retaining the number of rows and adding a 16-point milestone alongside the 11-, 21- and 31-point milestones.
Some buffs become baseline
The official recap names Divine Spirit, Blessing of Kings and Improved Mark of the Wild among former talent-granted class buffs becoming baseline. This does not mean every Classic passive has been removed.
Read class-specific records carefully
A familiar name can have a different effect in the demo. The planner shows supplied rank text and prerequisites without filling in unknown ranks. It does not yet offer a verified talent-by-talent Classic comparison or a best-build recommendation.
