Overview

Druid has 52 talents in 3 trees (Balance 16, Feral Combat 20 and Restoration 16). Taking every rank would need 147 points; a level 60 character has 51, enough for 35% of all ranks.

Each tree has up to 7 tiers; a tier opens after 5 points per tier spent in that tree. The last tier (30 points in the tree) holds Moonkin Form (Balance), Primal Bite (Feral Combat), Shifting Power (Feral Combat) and Wild Growth (Restoration). 14 talents have a single rank and the rest up to 5; 10 talents require another talent first.

In WoW: Forever the class is playable by 4 races: High Order Skyborne, Night Elf, Tauren and Windshaper Skyborne. In Classic Era (1.15.9.70003) it was 2 races: Night Elf and Tauren. New in Forever: High Order Skyborne and Windshaper Skyborne.

Compared with Classic Era, 57 talent records changed in Forever (build 1.60.1.70938): 22 in Feral Combat, 16 in Restoration and 19 in Balance. By kind: 9 × removed talent, 5 × renamed, 14 × new talent, 17 × moved, 5 × max rank changed, 1 × moved to another tree, 3 × requirement changed and 3 × rank values changed.

Fixed an issue allowing multiple Faerie Fire debuffs to be active on a target.
