Three sources per guide
Each PvE and PvP article lists at least three relevant pages reviewed for this edition. These include class or specialization documentation, current beta talent references and original specialist analysis. A shared class page can support more than one specialization, but the guide must explain how the mechanics apply to the role.
Our opinion means our reasoning
The Cobalt take is an editorial recommendation derived from those documented mechanics. It is not a claim that we played a specific beta session, simulated a raid or proved a ranking. PvP recommendations distinguish tactical inference from source-confirmed systems. Forever battleground and world-PvP advice is not relabelled Retail arena advice.
Versioned talent trees
The planner preserves one named beta snapshot per class. We check grid coordinates, rank limits, tier spending and prerequisite references. Invalid off-grid legacy entries do not appear in the player-facing tree. Older starter builds are not imported as current recommendations.
Original writing and graphics
Guide text, layouts, planner code and the Cobalt Games logo are original. Blizzard artwork and talent icons are credited as game-reference imagery. We do not mirror Wowhead articles, replace another publication's byline or claim its testing as our own. Rank effects are linked to the source reference.
Updates and corrections
Source review for this edition: 30 October 2026. Forever's official launch is 4 November 2026. Until live tuning and endgame evidence are available, treat level-60 gearing and allocations as planning decisions.
