Specializations

Each talent tree emphasizes a different part of the class. The preview describes paths you can explore, not a recommendation to follow a single build.

01Nature magic

Balance

Choose spellcasting talents that strengthen the Druid’s ranged magic.

02Shapeshifting

Feral Combat

Use Cat and Bear forms for melee damage or tanking, with talents for both styles.

03Healing over time

Restoration

Keep allies healthy with restoration magic and effects that heal over time.

Summarized from Blizzard's Forever class preview ↗; talents and abilities may change.

FROM THE DEVELOPER PREVIEW

What stands out in Forever

A closer look at two changes Blizzard described for Druid. These are pre-launch preview details, not a live-game guarantee.

More freedom in form

Blizzard describes using more consumables and benefiting from weapon effects without leaving shapeshifted form.

Revive between fights

The preview adds Revive, an out-of-combat resurrection spell, to the Druid toolkit.
