Every Priest talent in Forever.

Hover a talent for its full tooltip

From 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.

Stat priorities

What to look for on gear.

Holy / Discipline
  1. Mana per 5 s
  2. Healing
  3. Intellect
  4. Spirit
Shadow
  1. Spell damage
  2. Spell hit %
  3. Spell crit %
  4. Spirit
  5. Stamina

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.

From 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. Last checked 7 November 2026. Hover an ability for its tooltip.
