Wyvern Sting1 rankFrom the Forever beta client's own talent tables (build 1.60.1.69977). Talents marked "was" have a new name compared with Classic Era, so their effect has probably changed too. Blizzard can still change any of this. Last checked 7 November 2026.
Starting priorities, based on how Classic stats work. Forever is live and Blizzard may still adjust stats, so treat these as a starting point. The upgrade checker lets you change the weights.

Track Dragonkinlevel 50From the Forever beta client's own ability tables (build 1.60.1.70205): the level the first rank is learned at, and how many ranks follow. An ability marked talent needs a talent point first. Talents are listed above. Abilities taught by quests or books may be missing, and Blizzard can still change any of this.
