			Blizzard describes potions, racial abilities and weapon effects working while shapeshifted. Most Engineering bombs remain excluded; the article identifies SAF-T and EZ-Thro exceptions. Most doors and objects can be used without leaving form. This broader developer description supplements the earlier individually reported consumable examples.<ref name="official-sep30">Blizzard Entertainment, [https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/article/24301515/world-of-warcraft-forever-class-deep-dives-hunter-and-druid Druid developer overview], published 30 September 2026 (UTC); written body reviewed 13 October.</ref>

			== October 9 talent and spellbook review ==
			The export generated 8 October identifies the talent trees and current class spellbooks as build 70291. This is a source refresh; it does not date every game change or independently test the effects.<ref name="oct9">Chris Baldwin, [https://talentsforever.com/data.json Talents Forever CC BY 4.0 export], generated 8 October and retrieved 9 October 2026.

			* '''[[Natural Instinct]] replaces [[Predatory Instincts]]''' at row 5, column 4 of Feral Combat. Its two ranks retain a 10/20% increase to the critical-strike damage bonus of melee abilities and add spell healing equal to 12/25% of Intellect. The previous name remains a historical record.
			* '''[[Furor]] clarifies Bear-form Energy handling.''' Entering Bear or Dire Bear Form forfeits saved Energy and pauses its restoration while in those forms. Read the current rank text before using the older powershifting example below.
			* [[Druid spellbook]] now uses the same 70291 source and includes changed early-rank Wrath and Thorns text. Its displayed values retain the source's level-60, no-gear context.<ref name="oct9" />

The new-ability notes infer this Bear bleed from [[Shredding Attacks]]. Its absence from the level-38 spellbook does not establish a training level; treat acquisition as unresolved.

			== How the preview tools fit together ==
			These examples interpret the pinned preview. Talent descriptions remain estimates unless a specific rank is labeled source-confirmed below; having text for every rank does not establish confirmation. The examples are provisional because unconfirmed conditions may change or have been transcribed incorrectly. Observed spellbook entries are identified separately, and the linked talent pages retain rank-level evidence.<ref name="preview" />

			=== Balance: follow the spell that receives the benefit ===
			[[Balance of Nature]] connects the Nature and Arcane schools: a cast from one school improves the next damaging spell from the other within its time window. [[Eclipse]] is more specific: Wrath supplies charges that shorten Starfire casts. These are separate effects, so an alternating-school bonus does not make every Nature spell an Eclipse trigger. [[Nature's Grace]] responds to non-periodic spell criticals and briefly improves casting speed and the global cooldown.<ref name="preview" />

			[[Moonkin Form]] cannot cast healing spells in the recorded tooltip. Its party critical-chance aura is exclusive with [[Leader of the Pack]]. When organizing a group, distinguish an aura's coverage from the Druid's ability to leave form and heal; having both auras available does not establish that their bonuses add together.<ref name="preview" />

			=== Feral: separate Bear and Cat decisions ===
			The unconfirmed [[Mangle]] description in this snapshot requires Bear or Dire Bear Form. [[Berserk]] changes Mangle's target count and cooldown and also improves combo-point generators; the form requirements determine which part would be useful. Cat players can examine the observed Tiger's Fury spellbook entry alongside the estimated [[King of the Jungle]] talent description. These descriptions do not establish a Cat version of Mangle.<ref name="preview" />

			At source-confirmed rank 5, [[Furor]] preserves the Energy held on leaving Cat Form, adds 10 Energy for each second outside Bear, Dire Bear, and Cat forms, and caps the return at 100. For example, leaving with 30 Energy and spending two seconds outside those forms describes 50 Energy on return, before any other effects are considered. This is a tooltip-based illustration, not an in-game measurement or proof of the best way to spend those two seconds.<ref name="preview" />

			=== Restoration: distinguish recovery from group coverage ===
			[[Swiftmend]] requires an existing Rejuvenation or Regrowth effect on its target. [[Wild Growth]] instead heals the chosen target and that target's nearby party over time, with more healing early in the effect. The recorded party restriction matters in a raid: it is not an unrestricted raid-wide heal. [[Gift of the Earthmother]] reduces the global cooldown of Rejuvenation, Swiftmend, and Wild Growth, rather than every healing spell.<ref name="preview" />

			The demo Omen of Clarity description allows a free eligible damage or healing action, but specifically says Wrath and actions already costing no resources do not consume Clearcasting. Inspect the proc before selecting a spell solely to spend it.<ref name="preview" />

			== Reading other Druid guides ==
			Icy Veins usefully highlights linked spell effects and party healing. Its powershifting discussion is internally inconsistent: the Furor explanation and conclusion say extra Energy is removed, while its future-changes section says powershifting can add Energy. Treat that conflict as unresolved gameplay guidance.<ref>Meyra and Voulk, [https://www.icy-veins.com/wow-forever/druid-class-overview Druid Class Overview], Icy Veins, updated 15 September 2026; all sections reviewed 17 September 2026.</ref>

These are summarized from the pinned community demo transcription. Baseline spells and talents are identified separately where the source supports that distinction.<ref name="preview" />
* '''Omen of Clarity and Nature's Grasp.''' Recorded in the demo spellbook as trainable abilities rather than entries in the talent trees.
* '''Revive.''' The export records an out-of-combat resurrection separately from Rebirth. Their different restrictions matter when discussing recovery after a fight.
* '''Lacerate.''' The new-ability notes infer this Bear bleed from [[Shredding Attacks]]. Its absence from the level-38 spellbook does not establish a training level; treat acquisition as unresolved.

== Plan a first beta session ==
These are suggested checks for learning the class and collecting useful evidence; they are not claims about the strongest build.
* For Feral, label each observation Bear or Cat and note which form-specific conditions apply.
* For Furor, record the resource before leaving a form, time spent outside it, and resource on returning; a single screenshot cannot establish the whole rule.
* For Restoration, separate a heal’s initial effect from its later ticks when comparing target patterns and timing.

== Race choice ==
Use [[Race and class combinations#Druid|the Druid race list]] to separate officially announced additions from the broader preview roster. Follow the linked [[Races|race guides]] for recorded racials; a racial tooltip does not establish a universal best choice.

== What remains unresolved ==
This guide does not establish a final powershifting routine, tank-versus-melee gear ranking, healing throughput, or a complete trainer progression. Form-specific interactions need tests in one recorded build.

For corrections, record the game build, character level, spell or talent rank, and the observed interaction. Follow [[Project:Data policy]] and compare against [[Druid talents]] before replacing preview information.
