New race combos
Beta-phase tuning (official posts)
- Mangle renamed Primal Bite and loses its signature debuff; every talent that referenced Mangle follows the rename.
- Wrath base damage up ~50%; Thorns scales with the caster's spell power; Rejuvenation, Tranquility and Wild Growth can crit.
- Potions and most consumables work in form (rage potions and Thistle Tea included); weapon enchants and procs work in form, and bear/cat/dire-bear auto-attack DPS matches the equipped weapon.
- Racial abilities (Shadowmeld, War Stomp, Walk on Air and kin) work in form; most doors and objects can be used without leaving it.
- New baseline: Nature's Grasp at 10, Revive at 12, Omen of Clarity at 20, Lacerate at 42; Tiger's Fury removed.
- Balance: Eclipse and Genesis are new, Insect Swarm moves in at 16, Hurricane has no cooldown, Entangling Roots castable indoors.

Basis: wow-forever.gg community-site build diff (1.60.1.70058 vs Era 1.15.9.70003, by spell id), untested in play; "removed" may reflect beta data stripping rather than design. One-line notes are our editorial summary — launch always governs.
Blizzard-confirmed: trees keep their 11/21/31-point milestone talents and add a one-point tier-4 milestone (e.g. Holy Strike at level 6, baseline Consecration at 20 for paladins).
