- Forever client: There is no simulation for this spec yet. The order shown for level 60 uses cooldowns and costs from the Forever client.
- Forever client: Nature's Swiftness has a 3 min cooldown at level 60 (client data). That is about once every second or third pull.
Above the level cap of 60, every tip is Speculation: worked out from the client and the simulator, not yet playable.
