Priest and Warrior: Class Overview and Latest Beta Changes
Checked: 2026-10-02 · China and international regions
The October 2 China overview, with later international Warrior changes distinguished from the earlier design summary.
The October 2 China overview gives every Priest Fear Ward and Devouring Plague at 20, Divine Spirit at 30 and Shadow Word: Death at 32. Each race retains two unique Priest spells.
New options include Penance, Binding Heal, Prayer of Mending and Devouring Contagion. Dual Specialization unlocks at 40; the international Beta cap remains 30.
The Warrior overview describes incoming Rage unaffected by armor or absorbs, plus baseline Tactical Mastery and Victory Rush. Later international notes revise some of its numbers and talent arrangements.
The October 2 international addendum raises bonus Rage from critical strikes from 75% to 100%, removes Improved Cleave and Boundless Rage, and adds Lingering Rage, Furious Precision and Gore Drinker. Fury and Protection positions and prerequisites also change.
At this check, public 1.60.1.70170 tables still omit those three new talent names and retain some older effects, while Blizzard says the changes entered that day’s Beta. Tools preserve the table records; the export or hotfix synchronization cause and in-game state remain unconfirmed. International changes do not establish China’s implementation.
