In
Battle for Azeroth
, the upcoming WoW expansion following
Legion
, all playable classes have received a significant update. Many abilities removed with the mass prune from Legion as well as past expansions are back! In this overview, we'll highlight all class abilities, as well as new, changed, or removed talents. Grey to green text indicate changes between
Legion
and the current version of
Battle for Azeroth
; more information can be found by going to the Changelog within the relevant spell page. Keep in mind that information is largely derived from the tooltips, so typographical errors may be intentional to match.
Some notable overall changes:
Individual buttons for Druid travel forms
.
Each individual Druid travel form now has its own passive ability, meaning druids can glyph different forms for each of their travel forms.
Arcane Torrent and Every Man for Himself changed
.
Two of the strongest racial effects have received changes in BfA, with
Arcane Torrent
receiving a new effect and added to the GCD and
Will to Survive
having its cooldown increased.
The majority of class cooldowns have been added to the GCD
.
Abilities that are in the Global Cooldown, or GCD, cannot be used at the same time, meaning you must wait for the default GCD, 1.5s reduced by haste, until you can use your next ability.
Before BfA, many abilities were called "off-GCD" as you could two or more of them at the same time, even in the same button macro. For BfA, Blizzard started to reduce to amount of abilities in this state.
All melee abilities now scale with both Attack Power and Weapon Damage
.
The actual ability damage formula for all non-casters has changed, and now all those abilities use both weapon damage and attack power, even abilities like
Shield Slam
or
Howling Blast
.
This appears to be intended to create a better balance between classes, rather than some favoring weapons heavily (
Warrior
), while others hardly at all (
Monk
).
Bleed and Poison ticks now scale with Haste
.
Bleeds and poisons from
Hunter
,
Rogue
, and
Warrior
were the only over time effects not affected by haste, which is being changed in Battle for Azeroth.
Hunter pets have set specializations, which offer different types of utility, and several pet families have changed specs
.
Hunter pets are receiving an overhaul in BfA to improve their utility and streamline their usability.
Battle for Azeroth has a huge stat and ilvl squish.
Battle for Azeroth implements the second stat squish for World of Warcraft, two expansions after the
Warlords of Draenor Squish
.
Unlike Warlords, Battle for Azeroth will also have an item level squish, changing the item level previously found on classic items as well.

Talents
In Battle for Azeroth, each Hunter pet family has a single specialization, any beast from that family will have that specialization and you won't be able to change it. Each specialization has unique abilities:
Ferocity
Predator's Thirst
- You and your pet gain 10% Leech.
Primal Rage
- Increases haste by 30% for all party and raid members for 40 sec. Allies receiving this effect will become Sated and unable to benefit from Primal Rage or similar effects again for 10 min.
Tenacity
Endurance Training
- You and your pet gain 5% increased maximum health.
Survival of the Fittest
- Reduces all damage you and your pet take by 20% for 6 sec.
Cunning
Pathfinding
- You and your pet gain 8% increased movement speed.
Master's Call
- Your pet removes all root and movement impairing effects from itself and its target, and grants immunity to all such effects for 4 sec.
Besides those exclusive abilities, all pets receive
Dash
and
Growl
. Each individual pet family also received changes, adding more abilities to families that lacked those. All families now have one basic attack and one special. Some have bonus abilities. We have tamed all different families on Alpha to test which specialization and abilities each family had and the results are in the table below.
Some notable changes are pets like
Moth
s that have changed from Ferocity to Cunning. This change was likely because otherwise
Moth
s would have access to a Combat Resurrection (from the family ability
Dust of Life
) and Bloodlust/Heroism (from the specialization ability
Primal Rage
). Also, the player-favorite family
Spirit Beast
have been changed from Ferocity to Tenacity.
