⚔️ WoW Forever Dailywhat the class Discords worked out yesterday, every morning

Model

Last updated 2026-09-18. Pre-launch reading of the beta and the BlizzCon demo. Nothing is confirmed.
  • This is a model, not a sim: expected healing and mana per cast, no boss damage pattern, no overhealing. It is checked against real Classic logs below.
  • In MC/BWL gear over a 300-second fight, the Champion Healer sustains 412 HPS if Champion of the LightChampion of the LightRetribution · Max rank 3 · New in ForeverIncreases your spell damage and healing by up to 33% of your Intellect.Requires 25 points in RetributionMax rank not read from footage; showing rank 1 text. is 100% of Intellect, 346 if it is 33%.
  • The Vigil Raid Healer with two Vigils a minute sustains 384 HPS: +11% versus the 33% case, -7% versus the 100% case.
  • The model picks the Holy Light and Flash ranks that maximize sustained healing; at Classic-era mana pools that means downranking, exactly as in Classic.
  • Checked against 29 top Classic Anniversary paladin parses: the model’s raw healing lands within 2% of the logs once it uses the player’s own cast mix.
  • Logs add two things the model does not: 86% casting time and 19% overheal. Multiply model numbers by about 0.77 to get a log number.
  • On the same BWL gear the Forever kit heals +24% to +46% more than the Classic kit over five minutes.
  • Every number is only as good as the spell data and the assumptions listed under each result.
  • The biggest unknowns are Champion of the LightChampion of the LightRetribution · Max rank 3 · New in ForeverIncreases your spell damage and healing by up to 33% of your Intellect.Requires 25 points in RetributionMax rank not read from footage; showing rank 1 text.’s rank 3 and Holy ShockHoly ShockHoly · Max rank 1 · Changed from Classic160 Mana | Instant | Enemy: 20 yd range | Friendly: 40 yd range | 10 sec cooldownBlasts the target with Holy energy, causing 129 to 139 Holy damage to an enemy, or 110 to 118 healing to an ally.Requires 20 points in HolyAll ranks read from demo footage. and Vigil values at level 60.

How it works

  • Spell values come from the wowsims Classic code (level-60 ranks with coefficients) plus the Forever demo for new spells. See the Theorycraft library for the rules.
  • For each build and gear level the model searches the policy space: Holy Light and Flash ranks, the Holy Light share of filler casts, whether to Holy ShockHoly ShockHoly · Max rank 1 · Changed from Classic160 Mana | Instant | Enemy: 20 yd range | Friendly: 40 yd range | 10 sec cooldownBlasts the target with Holy energy, causing 129 to 139 Holy damage to an enemy, or 110 to 118 healing to an ally.Requires 20 points in HolyAll ranks read from demo footage. on cooldown, and how often to Vigil. It keeps whatever sustains the most healing over the fight, with a Major Mana Potion and a Dark Rune every two minutes. The TBC logs are the sanity check on cast mixes.
  • IlluminationIlluminationHoly · Max rank 5 · Changed from ClassicAfter getting a critical effect from your Flash of Light, Holy Light, Light's Vigil, or Holy Shock heal spell you have a 40% chance to gain Mana equal to 50% of the base cost of the spell.Requires 15 points in Holy · Requires 3 points in ReverenceMax rank not read from footage; showing rank 2 text. refunds 50% of base cost at 20% chance per rank on crit heals.

  • “Sustainable HPS” scales the filler casts down so mana lasts the whole fight, given the pool and regen while casting. It is the number to compare builds on.

Calibration against Classic Anniversary logs

The Forever kit is mostly Classic spells, so the model can be tested on real Classic logs. We pulled the top Holy Paladin parses per boss from Classic Anniversary Blackwing Lair and Molten Core, with every spell’s healing, overheal, hits and crits, and the cast table by rank. For each player the model was run in Classic mode (IlluminationIlluminationHoly · Max rank 5 · Changed from ClassicAfter getting a critical effect from your Flash of Light, Holy Light, Light's Vigil, or Holy Shock heal spell you have a 40% chance to gain Mana equal to 50% of the base cost of the spell.Requires 15 points in Holy · Requires 3 points in ReverenceMax rank not read from footage; showing rank 2 text. 100% refund, 31/0/20 talents) with that player’s own +healing, crit, cast mix and casting time. Confirmed

Value
Parses used29 (fights of at least 60 s with 8+ Holy Lights)
Fight lengthmedian 74 s (67–93)
Cast mixHoly Light rank 8 is 51% of casts, rest Flash rank 6; 24.5 casts a minute
Casting time86% of the fight (79–89)
Crit rate on Holy Light42.9% (top parses select for lucky crit streaks and carry world buffs)
Overheal19% (16–25)
Implied +healing1232 (1076–1354), which includes Blessing of Light’s flat +210 on Holy Light; about 940 from gear
Model raw HPS ÷ logged raw HPS1.02 (1.01–1.02)
Logged effective HPSmedian 649, best 895

What this says:

  • The per-cast math is right to within a few percent. The remaining 2% comes from Flash of Light healing about 26% less per point of +healing than the coefficient rule predicts, most likely Blessing of Light inflating the Holy Light estimate (it adds 210 to Holy Light but only 60 to Flash).
  • The two things a model cannot know, casting time and overheal, together cost about 23% of raw healing in these speed kills. Longer, messier fights overheal more.
  • These parses are short. Mana never mattered in a 75 s kill, so the ranking rewards raw throughput and crit luck. The sustained numbers on this page are a different, harder test.
