Gone from the Priest trainer

Classic Era trainer abilities the Forever client no longer teaches.

Every Classic Era Priest ability is still taught.

Unchanged Priest abilities

These 13 abilities are the same as in Classic Era, rank for rank: Fade, Resurrection, Inner Fire, Cure Disease, Psychic Scream, Dispel Magic, Mind Soothe, Shackle Undead, Mind Vision, Mana Burn, Mind Control, Shadow Protection, and Abolish Disease

The beta client also carries these Season of Discovery spells on the Priest skill lines, unchanged from the Classic Era client, so they are not counted as new: Shadowfiend and Increased Fortitude.

Abilities that come from talents, and every talent rank, are in the WoW Forever Priest Talent Calculator.

Not final

  • Everything here is beta data and can change before launch.
  • A spell missing from the beta client may be cut or may simply not be exported yet.
  • Tooltips show each rank at the level it is learned with no bonus power; your own numbers grow with your gear and talents.
