Hunter pets and Warlock demons
Everything a pet or demon can learn, with the level each rank arrives, straight from the beta client (build 1.60.1.70630). Forever adds new pet abilities (Savage Rend, Sonic Blast, Dismember, Pinch, Tendon Rip, Dust Cloud, Dive, Mine!, Trickster's Dance) and keeps Classic's training-point system: teach abilities from wild pets that already know them, then spend points at the Pet Trainer.
