Read official beta notes
Warrior
Armor reduced incoming Rage.
Incoming Rage ignores armor and absorption.
Plan stance changes alongside defensive talents.
Your stance plan matters alongside the talent route. Before a dungeon, identify which buttons you keep available after switching stance and which defensive tools fit your role. Compare two saved routes rather than assuming the biggest damage number is best.
Paladin
Judgment consumed the active Seal.
Judgment no longer consumes Seals.
Review seal management and trainer abilities.
Separate your trainer purchases from your talent choices. For a tanking route, review the tools available at your current level; for a damage or healing route, compare what you gain and give up. Prepare the class weapon quest before a Deadmines group.
Hunter
Aimed Shot required a talent.
Aimed Shot becomes baseline at level 20.
Revisit talent spending and trap positioning.
Plan where to place your pet and trap before pulling. A tool being available does not mean it should be used on every pack: first agree which enemy the group wants controlled. Review the trainer book so your point order reflects the current reference.
Rogue
Poisons competed with temporary weapon enchantments.
Poisons can coexist with temporary enchantments.
Prepare poisons alongside weapon enhancements.
Write a preparation checklist for your weapons instead of relying on memory. Check the active poison and enhancement, then agree your opening target and interrupt duty. These changes expand preparation options; they do not establish a measured damage ranking.
Priest
Fear Ward and Devouring Plague depended on race.
Both become available to every Priest at level 20.
Choose race using its remaining toolkit.
Keep race selection and your ability bar as separate decisions. Look at the current level filter before planning a dungeon: a future spell is not a tool you have today. If you will heal, review emergency buttons and mana breaks with the tank.
Shaman
Persistent buff totems lasted two minutes.
They last five minutes; short-duration totems are unchanged.
Plan placement and movement together.
Decide which totems your group needs for this pull and when you will reposition them. Duration alone does not remove the need to manage placement. Use the level filter to distinguish the tools you can train now from those you are preparing for later.
Mage
Ice Block occupied Frost row five.
Ice Block moves to the 16-point milestone.
Compare defensive access with your planned route.
Compare when your route gains defensive tools, not only its final point total. Save alternative point orders and check what you can use at the level of your next dungeon. Coordinate crowd control so the rest of the group knows which target to leave alone.
Warlock
Agony and Doom were Curses.
They become Banes, separated from utility Curses.
Plan damage effects and utility separately.
Prepare damage effects, utility and pet commands as separate parts of your bar. Before a dungeon, agree which utility the group wants and what your pet should attack. Pet scaling is an announced design feature, not proof that a particular build wins every encounter.
Druid
Forms restricted item and racial use.
Consumables and racials work in forms; most engineering bombs remain excluded.
Check exceptions when preparing consumables.
Organize a small emergency plan for each form you intend to use. Check item and racial exceptions in their reference text rather than assuming every button works while transformed. If you cover more than one role, tell the group when you can switch and what resources that requires.
