Druid patch notes from Blizzard: changes and fixes on the beta 22

Questions

Is Moonkin Form still a Druid talent in WoW Forever?
Yes. Moonkin Form is in Balance row 7, 1 rank, changed from Classic.
Is Nature's Grasp still a Druid talent in WoW Forever?
No. Nature's Grasp is no longer a talent: every Druid trains it at level 10 (beta client spellbook, build 70170). Omen of Clarity (level 20) is trained now too.
Did Druid get new abilities in WoW Forever?
38 Druid abilities are new or changed: Omen of Clarity and Nature's Grasp, Revive, Lacerate and Cure Poison, and 34 more whose spell text changed from Classic, among them Barkskin, Entangling Roots, Hurricane, Insect Swarm, Moonfire and Moonkin Form. The Druid abilities page has each one with its learned level where the spellbook has one.
Is Faerie Fire (Feral) in WoW Forever?
No. Faerie Fire (Feral) is gone from the Druid spellbook (beta client, build 70170), and so is Tiger's Fury (build 70170, 1 Oct 2026).
Can WoW Forever Druid talents still change before launch?
They can until launch. Since the first beta client (build 69876, 16 Sep 2026) two builds touched Druid talents: build 70009 on 24 Sep 2026, in their numbers or effects (Blood Frenzy, Primal Bite, Berserk and Ferocity); build 70170 on 1 Oct 2026, in their numbers or effects (Improved Shifting Power, Shifting Power, King of the Jungle, Predatory Instincts, Shredding Attacks, Moonkin Form and 1 more); the other 8 builds and 1 round of server hotfixes through build 70245 on 6 Oct 2026 changed none. The beta runs until 21 October 2026 and the game launches 4 November 2026; this page is checked against every build.
Which Druid talents changed in the latest beta build?
Build 70170, 1 Oct 2026, is the newest build that changed Druid talents; the 4 checked since changed none. Moonkin Form now reads "Shapeshift into Moonkin Form, increasing Omen of Clarity's chance to trigger by 100%, Armor contribution from items by 360%, and all party members within 45 yards have their Critical Strike chance increased by 3%, exclusive with Leader of the Pack." (was "Transforms the Druid into Moonkin Form."); Primal Bite now reads "Bite the target, dealing 100% normal damage plus 26 and generating a high amount of threat." (was "Bite the target for 100% normal damage plus 26.").

Last checked against beta build 1.60.1.70245 on 6 Oct 2026. Talents from the WoW Forever beta client; the build rows from this site's beta build tracker, checked the day each build lands.
