Coverage and evidence
Only class-tab entries with an explicit beta source flag and a learning level from 1 through 20 are shown. Talent-gated entries, records marked for alternative acquisition, General-tab demo data, Classic fallback tooltips, unknown learning levels, and higher-level ranks are excluded. Pet abilities can appear in the source class tabs. The remaining list is not a complete acquisition guide.[1]
The export does not include an in-game city-trainer check for this class. These entries remain source-reported client data.[1]
