Warlock changes in WoW Forever: every spell and talent vs Classic

Rotations & Guide · PvE · PvP · Builds · Abilities · Talent Calculator · Macros · Changes vs Classic

Every Warlock change in the WoW Forever beta client (build 1.60.1.70170) compared with Classic Era 1.15.9.69722: 18 new talents, 32 new or changed spells, 33 changed talents, 12 Classic spells and talents removed, 16 Season of Discovery leftovers. Each spell lists every rank's damage or healing, spell power coefficient, cost, cast time, range and duration in both clients, written as "Forever instead of Classic". Classic Era is only the baseline: every Forever number comes from the Forever client's own data. Ranks learned above the beta's level cap (30) are in the client but can't be reached yet.
