Removed abilities

4

Removed means the spell id is absent from this beta build's Mage class skill lines. That may be data stripped from the beta rather than a design change.

The Era list comes from the 1.15.9 build and holds Season of Discovery rows. The last columns say what the Forever build still holds for the spell id.

Icon Same name and rank in Forever
Ignite 1 Fire Skill line row kept, spell row deleted
Chilled Rank 2 10 Frost Skill line row kept, spell row deleted
Chilled Rank 3 10 Frost Skill line row kept, spell row deleted
Detect Magic 16 Arcane Skill line row kept, spell row deleted

Talents

5 new · 0 dropped · 23 changed

Forever talent trees against the Classic Era trees. Talents are matched by spell, then by name, including talents that moved to another tree of the class. A matched talent counts as changed when its spell, its number of ranks, its tree, its position or what it requires is different. A talent that came from another tree is listed as changed, under the tree it is in now. Positions are r<row>c<column>.

Blizzard confirmed a new one-point milestone talent at 16 points. source Tier 4 opens at 15 points in a tree, so its first point is the 16th; the one-point talent of that tier is listed per tree.

6 talents open fewer points deep in the tree than in Classic, 3 deeper. A row's depth is the points that must be spent in that tree before the row opens.
