Victory RushNew
Baseline in the Arms tab, learned at 20. An instant melee strike on a 30 sec cooldown that deals 15% of Attack Power damage and heals you for 10% of your maximum health; usable within 20 sec of killing a non-trivial enemy.
This page gathers the 36 WoW Forever abilities that sit outside the talent trees: trained spells, skills and passives that cost no talent points. The notes come from the level 60 Beta spellbooks, grouped by class, and each one links to the talents that reference it so new skills and changed spells carry straight into your build.
Warrior WoW Forever abilities: Victory Rush heals after a kill. Tactical Mastery is trainer-only, so Improved Tactical Mastery is the remaining Arms spend. Intercept is trained at 30, 42 and 52. Bloodrage is listed because Protection still asks about it.
Baseline in the Arms tab, learned at 20. An instant melee strike on a 30 sec cooldown that deals 15% of Attack Power damage and heals you for 10% of your maximum health; usable within 20 sec of killing a non-trivial enemy.
A trainable Arms passive rather than a talent: you keep up to 10 Rage when you change stances. The Arms talent Improved Tactical Mastery adds up to 15 more.
Still available; Improved Intercept stays in the Fury tree. Three ranks, trained at 30, 42 and 52 — the same first train level as Classic.
A new rank at level 20 is followed by the former Classic ranks at 30, 38, 46 and 54, each with a rank number one higher. Cooldown: 18 sec; casting is not delayed by damage.
Usable in Battle or Defensive Stance. Rank 4 slows enemy attack speed by 20% for 22 sec and hits up to 4 targets; Classic Rank 4 slowed by 10% for 22 sec.
Still trainable in the Protection tab: 10 Rage immediately plus 10 more over 10 sec, at the cost of 20% of base health.
15 min cooldown and 60% less damage taken for 12 sec; Classic had 30 min and 75% for 10 sec. Shield Wall, Retaliation and Recklessness each have their own cooldown.
Two charges over 7 sec baseline, where Classic gave one block for 5 sec. Still 10 Rage, a 5 sec cooldown and Defensive Stance only.

Recorded WoW Forever abilities for Paladin: Judgement no longer consumes the seal, and judging Seal of Fury taunts. Seal of Fury and Holy Strike are the baseline tools several talents modify. Kings and Consecration no longer compete for talent points.
No longer consumes your seal. 10 yd range, 10 sec cooldown. Judging Seal of Fury taunts the target for 3 sec, so Paladins can pick up pulls.
A tanking seal: every hit adds Holy damage, and with a shield equipped you gain an absorb worth half of that damage. Seven ranks from level 10 to 58. Judgement taunts for 3 sec. Improved Seal of Fury is no longer in the tree.
A baseline Retribution strike on a 10 sec cooldown dealing weapon damage plus Holy damage. Eight ranks from level 6 to 60. Several talents build on it.
Both are trainable now instead of talents; Consecration is learned at level 20.
Salvation and Mass Salvation replace the former blessings and can coexist with blessings. They reduce threat generated by 30% for 1 hour. Salvation and Revoke are learned at 26; Mass Salvation at 60. Revoke removes either effect from a party or raid member.

Hunter’s WoW Forever abilities: Aimed Shot is trainer-only, with a 2 sec cast and a cooldown shared with Multi-Shot. Call Pet summons your pet; the Beta spellbook lists it under the generic Call Pet name. Aspect of the Beast also adds melee attack power.
Trainable instead of a Marksmanship talent, with a 2 sec cast where Classic had 3 sec, and a 6 sec cooldown shared with Multi-Shot. Six ranks, first trained at 20.
Call Pet summons your pet. The Beta book uses that generic name rather than a pet-specific title such as Call Owl.
Rank 1 makes you untrackable and adds 50 melee attack power; Classic only made you untrackable.

The Rogue note in WoW Forever abilities is one-handed axes. Hack and Slash treats axe and sword as one weapon group, so the talent still applies after that weapon unlock.
Rogues can equip one-handed axes; the Hack and Slash talent lists Axe/Sword as one weapon group.

WoW Forever abilities for Priest: Shadow Word: Death is an execute-style spell with backlash if the target lives. Fear Ward and Devouring Plague are trained by every Priest, so race no longer gates those spells.
An instant Shadow spell with 30 yd range and an 18 sec cooldown. If the target survives, you take backlash equal to 10% of your maximum Health. Four ranks at levels 32, 40, 48 and 56. Early Demise increases its critical chance against low-health targets.
A regular Shadow spell for every Priest, with a 24 sec cooldown. Rank 3 is learned at level 36. Devouring Contagion can spread it to two nearby targets.
Baseline for every Priest with a 3 min cooldown. In Classic it was a Dwarf racial spell.

Shaman’s WoW Forever abilities: Totemic Projection relocates totems, and Call of the Elements drops the Totem Bar in one cast. Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning are half a second faster; Fire Nova is a spell aimed at your Fire totem.
Ranks 4 to 10 cast in 2.5 sec, half a second faster than Classic. Ranks 1 to 3 keep 1.5, 2 and 2.5 sec cast times.
Also half a second faster: rank 1 is a 2 sec cast with a 6 sec cooldown, hitting 3 targets with each jump 30% weaker. Maxed Elemental Alacrity brings Lightning Bolt down to the same 2 sec.
Choose a spot up to 30 yd away and your totems move there instead of appearing at your feet. Totemic Recall is also in the spellbook.
Call of the Elements, Ancestors and Spirits each drop up to four totems from their own Totem Bar set with a 3 sec cast. Learned at levels 20, 30 and 40 respectively.
A 3 sec outdoor cast, learned at 20, that increases speed by 40%. Improved Ghost Wolf rank 1 reduces cast time by 1 sec and allows indoor use; rank 2 reduces it by 3 sec.
An instant spell with 30 yd range and a 10 sec cooldown, damaging enemies within 10 yd of your active Fire totem. Five ranks; rank 3 at level 32 deals 126 to 142 Fire damage. Trial by Fire reduces the cooldown by 2 or 4 sec.

A small utility spell learned at level 6 that deciphers an untranslated scroll.

Warlock’s WoW Forever abilities: Summon Incubus is in the Demonology book at 20. Banes and Curses are separate categories, so one of each can sit on a target.
Enslave Demon under a new name; three ranks, first trained at 30.
Curse of Agony renamed to a Bane, as is Bane of Doom. Banes and Curses are separate categories, so one of each can be active on a target.

Druid’s WoW Forever abilities: Revive is an out-of-combat resurrection, while Rebirth keeps its 30 min cooldown. Omen of Clarity and Nature’s Grasp no longer compete for talent points. Cure Poison remains beside Abolish Poison.
Both are trainable now instead of talents in the Balance tab: Nature's Grasp at level 10 and the passive Omen of Clarity at level 20.
An out-of-combat resurrection with a 10 sec cast. Rebirth keeps its 30 min cooldown.
Lacerate is a Feral Combat talent, learned from the tree rather than a trainer baseline. Rank 1 at level 25 costs 15 Rage in Bear or Dire Bear Form and bleeds for 20 over 15 sec plus 10% weapon damage per stack, up to 5. Later ranks are 34, 42, 50 and 58. Shredding Attacks reduces its Rage cost.
Still present at level 14 through the Power over Poison quest, as in Classic. The current record marks it as a book, quest or drop; High Order Skyborne can take that quest according to published notes.

Talent name links go to the reference so you can read every recorded rank. Racials and Legacy perks stay on their own pages.

The class page plans the modifying talents. Intercept starts at 30, Lacerate at 42, and Cure Poison stays in the Restoration book among these WoW Forever abilities.
How WoW Forever abilities differ from talents, which ones are new and what this page leaves out.
WoW Forever abilities are the spells, skills and passives a class learns from its trainer; they cost gold, not talent points. Talents are the 51 points the calculator plans. Baseline abilities are not added to a build; talent name links under each note open the talents that modify it.
Yes. 4 WoW Forever abilities are marked Now trainable: Tactical Mastery for Warriors, Aimed Shot for Hunters, Omen of Clarity and Nature’s Grasp for Druids, and Blessing of Kings and Consecration for Paladins moved out of the talent trees and onto the trainer.
No. This page covers 36 selected WoW Forever abilities: mainly new skills and spells, plus a few unchanged notes that still help. Ranks and levels reflect the level 60 Beta spellbooks.
Browse the selected WoW Forever abilities below and follow the linked talents to check their interactions. Racial abilities are listed on the WoW Forever racials page, and the account-wide perks on the Legacy perks page.
Notes on WoW Forever abilities come from the level 60 Beta spellbooks, so ranks, levels and wording may change before launch. Check the data sources for the snapshot date and attribution.
