What changes for Rogue abilities compared with Classic?

Compared with Classic Era, the WoW Forever Rogue has 1 new ability, 6 with new numbers, levels or ranks, 1 with only a new text and 17 unchanged. We compare the tooltip text, level, cost, cast time, cooldown and range of every rank in both game clients; a change made only on the server does not show. New: Mutilate (40).

Which Classic Rogue abilities are gone in WoW Forever?

Every Classic Era Rogue ability is still in the WoW Forever beta files: none is removed. Some changed their levels, ranks or numbers, as listed above, and a few may be listed below with old ranks the files no longer describe. Talents are not counted here: they have their own calculator.

Now only through a talent

Hemorrhage
Classic levels: 46 and 58
Classic: An instant strike that damages the opponent and causes the target to hemorrhage, increasing any Physical damage dealt to the target by up to 7. Lasts 30 charges or 15 sec. Awards 1 combo point.
Taught by trainers in Classic; in WoW Forever it comes from the talent tree only.

Where does this list come from?

From the game tables of the WoW Forever beta client (build 1.60.1.70532) and of Classic Era (build 1.15.9.70003), read on wago.tools: levels, ranks, costs, cooldowns and tooltip texts. How Classic players got each spell (trainer, quest, book) comes from the cMaNGOS classic-db project. Trainer prices are not in these files, so we show none. Beta data can change before the November 4, 2026 launch.
