Hunter and Druid deep dive released first

On 2026-09-30, Blizzard published a deep dive covering Hunter and Druid, describing new pet families, baseline abilities, and overhauled talent trees, according to Blizzard and reports from Icy Veins, Wowhead, and BlizzPro. Blizzard staffer Nethaera corrected a Hunter talent description in the article after a community member flagged an error: the new Sniper Shot talent, in the 31-point gold medal slot with a prerequisite of Trueshot Aura, was clarified to deal more damage than Aimed Shot (not Sniper Shot itself), with a 45-yard base range and a 4-second cast time. Blizzard said other classes, including Paladin and Rogue, will get similar deep dives later.
