Earlier notes (14)
- Smite ranks 1 to 4 were retuned so damage grows evenly up to rank 5 and every new rank is an upgrade. 8 Oct

- Penance deals and heals less (it was treated as a 3-second channel instead of 2), costs more Mana (rank 1 is 50% more) while staying more efficient than Heal and Greater Heal, and ranks 2 and 4 heal more. 8 Oct
- Devouring Plague can now correctly critically strike. 1 Oct
- Fixed: Shadow Word: Death always got the Early Demise bonus, whatever the target's health. 1 Oct
- Inner Focus no longer adds its Critical Strike increase to periodic effects. 1 Oct

What you learn at each level
236 ranks from level 1 to 60. A price is what Classic's trainers charged, and a price marked (beta) is what a trainer asked in the beta. A rank with no price says where it comes from instead. A bracket's Classic cost leaves out ranks only some races learn.
