The developers of World of Warcraft: Forever continue to introduce players to large-scale changes to the class system, aiming to refresh the familiar meta from the classic version.
New in-depth analysis focuses on Priest and Warrior. The main innovation for all priests is guaranteed access to spells Fear Ward and Devouring Plague Level 20 has been reached, along with the emergence of new racial skills and the return of old racial skills, including the unique ability of the gnome. Some changes have been made to Warriors’ Wrath mechanics, although the team admits that struggles with unpleasant resource generation bugs continue in the beta.
Blizzard representatives emphasized that all changes are intended to expand the variety of useful builds without losing the class’s recognizable, classic look. Priests gained tools that enhanced healing, utility, and darkness, while warriors’ basic functions were rebuilt and their specializations were clearly demarcated. Additionally, the studio released a second official podcast lasting just over an hour, in which the developers discuss in detail the internal design philosophy and behind-the-scenes footage of the project’s creation.
