Some of the biggest Rogue changes are trained spells rather than talents. These 1 notes come from the level 60 Beta spellbook; each one links to the talents that reference it. Ranks and levels can still change before launch.
Rogues can equip one-handed axes; the Hack and Slash talent lists Axe/Sword as one weapon group.
Racial abilities are listed separately on the WoW Forever racials page; they cost no talent points. Every class’s changes are collected on the WoW Forever abilities page.
Plan WoW Forever Rogue talents around your weapons and your finishers. Daggers raise Hemorrhage to 145% and Ghostly Strike to 180% weapon damage, Hack and Slash pays out by weapon type, and Flawless Execution cuts the Energy cost of Eviscerate. Choose the tree you will invest most points in, then trace its prerequisites backwards.
Start with the level; it caps WoW Forever Rogue talents at 21 points for level 30 and 51 for level 60, one pool for all three trees. Venom, Adrenaline Rush and Thousand Cuts each need 30 points in earlier rows of their tree, so a 51-point plan reaches one of them with 20 points to spare; a 21-point plan reaches none.
Left-click to learn a rank, right-click or Shift-click to refund one; on touchscreens the first tap inspects and the second learns. Locked WoW Forever Rogue talents show what they wait for: Mutilate needs 20 Assassination points, Blade Flurry 20 in Combat, and Hemorrhage 20 in Subtlety. Tab focuses a node for keyboard users, and Enter or Space learns it.
Five cumulative points in earlier rows of the same tree unlock row two, ten unlock row three, and so on, so later WoW Forever Rogue talents answer to their own tree only. Subtlety keeps its new talents late: Quietus and Cutthroat sit in row six, Thousand Cuts in row seven. Undo in order, dependants before prerequisites, or reset the tree in one go.
A Rogue keeps more than one plan: a poison-heavy Assassination spread, a sword-and-axe Combat layout, a dagger Subtlety build for Hemorrhage. Your current allocation of WoW Forever Rogue talents saves as one draft; open My builds, name a setup such as Combat 31/20 and choose Save build to keep several. Names stay on this device.
Copy build turns WoW Forever Rogue talents into a link. It carries class, level, every rank and data version, so a friend opens your exact Mutilate or Hemorrhage path. If copying fails, select the text in the field; a Share button appears on devices that support sharing. Local saves stay behind when you clear browser data, so keep a link.
The reference lists all 53 WoW Forever Rogue talents with every recorded rank: check that Seal Fate reaches a 100% extra combo point at rank 5, or that Dual Wield Specialization climbs to 25% off-hand damage. Find a talent with your browser’s Find command; each entry has a shareable link.
Descriptions apply to their stated rank. Source estimates stay labeled, and missing percentages or durations remain unverified. Check the data sources for the snapshot version and attribution.

Yes. Paste the copied build link into the other browser and it restores class, level and every point, whether a 31-point Combat plan or a Subtlety layout. Drafts and named saves stay on the device that made them; nothing syncs. An older link shows an explanation and keeps its address so you can still copy it.
No. Budget, row gates and prerequisites are all the calculator checks; it does not simulate damage or Energy flow. Compare WoW Forever Rogue talents by reading the recorded effects: Mutilate wants poisoned targets, Hack and Slash wants the right weapon type. The finished build still needs testing in game.
