WoW Forever : check your retained before changing

Tactical Mastery preserves through a change. Plan your next action around the resource your current character can retain, rather than expecting a full bar.

Understand what the ability preserves

Blizzard’s September 30 overview, dated in UTC, describes Tactical Mastery as a ability learned at level 14 in the official WoW Forever . Its basic effect preserves up to 10 existing when changing . is the resource used for actions. The ability does not award a fresh 10 points or carry the whole bar across.

Name the next and action

Check that your character has learned the ability, then read its current description. Before switching, name the you need and the action you intend to use there. Read that action’s requirements too. The resource shown before a change is not automatically the resource you can spend afterwards.

Compare the requirement before switching

Compare the intended action’s needs with what your current setup retains. If they do not match, revise the plan before relying on that action. Rehearse one change and inspect the result. Use this as a planning exercise: abilities can change, and the overview does not replace your current descriptions.
