Gone from the Rogue trainer
Classic Era trainer abilities the Forever client no longer teaches.
Every Classic Era Rogue ability is still taught.
Unchanged Rogue abilities
These 21 abilities are the same as in Classic Era, rank for rank: Pick Lock, Sinister Strike, Stealth, Pick Pocket, Evasion, Slice and Dice, Sprint, Kick, Garrote, Ambush, Crippling Poison, Poisons, Vanish, Detect Traps, Cheap Shot, Disarm Trap, Kidney Shot, Blind, Blinding Powder, Safe Fall, and Crippling Poison II
The beta client also carries these Season of Discovery spells on the Rogue skill lines, unchanged from the Classic Era client, so they are not counted as new: Redirect, Numbing Poison, Atrophic Poison, Sebacious Poison, Occult Poison I, and Occult Poison II.
Abilities that come from talents, and every talent rank, are in the WoW Forever Rogue 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.
