Spell changes

Each spell's top rank next to the same rank in Classic. 9 have lower numbers, 3 higher. Lower isn't always weaker: a shorter cooldown is a buff. Every rank by level →

New spells: Lacerate, Primal Bite, Revive, Wild Growth.

Gone from the trainer: Faerie Fire (Feral), Tiger's Fury.

Faerie Fire

Works in Cat, Bear and Dire Bear Form now, where it costs nothing and has a 6 sec cooldown. Classic needed the Faerie Fire (Feral) talent for that, and that talent is gone.

Swipe

Now gains 3% of your attack power, which Classic's Swipe did not (Blizzard's notes for build 70170). The game's tooltip does not show it yet.

Where this comes from

Tree layout, ranks and the Classic comparison are read from two game clients: the Forever beta (build 1.60.1.70450) and Classic Era (build 1.15.9.70003). Forever's per-rank tooltip text comes from Talents Forever's data export (CC BY 4.0), which checks each rank in game. The files alone don't say whether a talent stores its per-rank or its full-rank value, so we use theirs.

It's still the beta. Numbers can move with any build.
