summon spells in the client

Of the 5,707 new spell IDs, 423 are left out: 304 are marked do-not-translate or temporary, 33 are test spells, 73 are internal triggers, credits and visuals, and 13 have no name. Another 1,246 new IDs carry a name an Era spell already has: new ranks and remade spells. They are counted, since a remade spell is often a changed one, and the tables show them apart.

The biggest group, about two thirds, is “other”: spells no class, profession or collection owns, which is where NPC abilities, quest events and item effects live. They are the new content’s machinery rather than things you cast.

New spells by class

Class spells are the ones the client files under a class. Paladins lead by a margin, which fits the Horde getting Paladins through the Undead, and Priests follow; Warriors and Shamans get the fewest. “In the spell book” counts the new-named spells that sit in a class’s own spell lines: abilities and talents, not effects. Each class links to its ability page, which compares every trainer ability with Classic.

New-named spells in each class’s spell book

Class	Spells	Names
Paladin	8	Judgement of Fury Unsealed Wrath Voice of Truth Templar's Bulwark Sanctified Judgement Improved Seal of Fury Oath of Light Light's Vigil
Priest	6	Divine Grace Confounding Flash Litany of Light Dark Sacrifice Chastise Contingency Plan
Rogue	4	Puncturing Wounds Flawless Execution Death Mark Venom
Shaman	4	Totemic Recall Call of the Elements Call of the Ancestors Call of the Spirits
Druid	3	Shifting Power Primal Bite Poised
Mage	2	Teleport: Dalaran Arcane Wrath
Warrior	2	Spearing Strike Reckless Swings
Warlock	2	Bane of Havoc Wrack
Hunter	2	Summon Hawk Strider Kick

Many of these are new talents; the WoW Forever Talent Calculator shows them in their trees with their ranks.

New Tier 1 set bonuses by spec

The clearest find: 72 set bonus spells the client names in its internal form, “Item - Tier 1 - class - spec, pieces”. Every class gets 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-piece bonuses, and five classes get them per spec (Druids four ways). Classic’s Tier 1 bonuses were one list per class; these are written by role.

The pattern is the same for everyone: a stat at 2 pieces (Hit, Haste, Spirit or Defense), a change to a utility spell at 3, damage against one kind of enemy, or healing, at 4, and at 5 pieces a bonus named after a signature spell. Several of those are from later expansions: Riptide, Lava Burst, Penance, Prayer of Mending, Frostfire Bolt. Their descriptions in the client settle what they do: each 5-piece bonus changes a spell the class already has (Riptide’s cooldown 1 second shorter, Lava Burst’s too, Frostfire Bolt more likely to trigger Missile Barrage and Fingers of Frost), none of them teaches one. Hover or tap a name for its full text; the new items page writes every set’s bonuses out. They belong to the Tier 1 class sets the client names without their pieces yet (new items), which the raids guide covers as datamined sets not yet linked to a raid.

Mounts and companions

The new mounts fit the new races: Galestriders for the Skyborne, and skeletal horses with a Forsaken Charger, the kind of class mount an Undead Paladin would summon. Warden Sabers, Devilsaurs and Druid Moose are new looks too. The companions include Mini Diablo and the Panda, the pets of the original Collector’s Edition, next to furbolg and ent pets.

Profession spells

Leatherworking, Blacksmithing and Tailoring again lead, in step with the new recipe items. This count takes every new spell in a profession’s line; each profession page lists only the new recipes, without renamed copies of old ones, so its numbers are smaller.

Sources and scope

Counted by us from the SpellName, SpellClassOptions, SkillLineAbility, SkillLine and SkillRaceClassInfo tables of the Forever beta client 1.60.1.70790, against the SpellName table of the Classic Era client 1.15.9.69722. The tooltips and descriptions come from the Spell, SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellPower, SpellCastTimes, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange tables, with the numbers filled in by the same renderer as the talent calculator’s texts, for a level 60 character without bonus spell or attack power; a text with a value the tables can’t give is left out. The tables don’t say what ships. How we count: beta datamine methodology; new items: new items in the client.
