How to read the spellbook

  • Each ability groups its ranks: the level each rank is learned at, its cost and its cooldown.
  • Struck-through values are the Classic Era ones when the rank changed in Forever.
  • Numbers in the tooltips are the client base values, without attack power or spell power.
  • Abilities marked "Talent" are learned from a talent; their first rank shows the level at which the talent row opens, without the Legacy “Talented” node.
  • A "?" in a tooltip is a value the client does not include.
  • Some new tooltips are still in English in the Spanish beta client, which has not translated them yet.
