Rogue in WoW Forever

No class deep dive yet. The beta notes so far are fixes — including a new Subtlety talent, Setup.

No class deep dive yet

Blizzard has published full class overviews for Priest, Warrior, Hunter, Druid, Paladin. Rogue has not had one, and Blizzard says every class will be covered. Until then, the only official Rogue changes are the tuning lines in the beta development notes — listed below with their dates. They show what exists in the beta client, not the whole class.

What applies to every class: talent trees keep their rows, with milestone talents at 11, 16 (new), 21 and 31 points; key buff talents become baseline; hit and crit are merged across spell, melee and ranged.

Rogue changes in the beta notes

Levelling

Skip the climb — market rates.

Levelling a Rogue to 60

About 150 hours of play for a first character by community estimates, and Blizzard has announced no WoW Token or paid boost for Forever. If the Rogue changes above are why you are rolling one, this is what skipping the climb costs on the pre-order market.

Market prices: pre-order listings on lfcarry.com, wowvendor.com, skycoach.gg, kingboost.net and others, checked 2 October 2026. Our own rates go up when realms open — no one can deliver Forever gold before 4 November.
