Druid FAQ
- Is Wild Growth a talent in WoW Forever?
- Yes. In beta build 1.60.1.70205 it is the Restoration tree's 31-point talent and needs Living Spirit maxed (3/3). Tooltip: “Heals the target and their party for 280 over 7 sec. Party members must be within [?] yards of target. The amount healed is applied quickly at first, and slows down as Wild Growth reaches its full duration.”
- What does Berserk do for Feral Druids?
- Berserk is the Feral Combat 31-point talent and needs 1/1 Leader of the Pack. Beta tooltip: “Requires Cat Form, Bear Form, Dire Bear Form. Causes your Primal Bite ability to strike up to 3 targets, removes its cooldown, and increases the critical strike chance of your Combo Point-generating abilities by 100%. Clears and grants immunity to Fear effects for the duration. Lasts 15 sec.”
- Is Omen of Clarity still in WoW Forever?
- Not as a talent: Omen of Clarity is in none of the Druid trees in beta build 1.60.1.70205 (Classic Era build 1.15.9.70003 has it in Balance). The beta client lists it as a baseline Druid passive from level 20 (the client's minimum spell level), and Moonkin Form still raises its chance to trigger.

About the data
Forever talents, ranks and tooltips are read from the beta client (build 1.60.1.70205); the Classic comparison uses the Classic Era client (build 1.15.9.70003). Both come from wago.tools. A value shown as [?] is one our export can't resolve yet. Talents can still change before the November 4, 2026 launch. Last updated 2026-10-02.
