Background
Guardianship of the living world connects the class to forests, cycles and old spiritual traditions. Its changing forms express that relationship through practical responses to danger rather than one fixed way of fighting.
Combat style
Different forms bring different resources and responsibilities. Moving between a caster’s decisions and the needs of a beast form demands awareness of both the current task and the abilities temporarily left behind.
Roles and trees
Balance develops ranged spell damage, Feral Combat contains both cat-oriented damage and bear-oriented tanking, and Restoration specializes in healing. The historical Feral Combat tree has not been split into later separate specializations.
Playing this patch
The race list and forms belong to Wrath. Use the calculator to inspect how shared supporting talents connect to a chosen role, without assuming that every form uses the same equipment priorities or resource cycle.
