What does it mean – Ability List?

Ability List refers to a comprehensive collection of all spells, skills, and class-specific abilities available to a player in World of Warcraft, organized by level, spec, or role. This list serves as a reference for understanding a character's combat options, utility, and progression path across all phases of gameplay.

Every class in WoW has an ability list that includes:

  • Core rotation spells (e.g., Frostbolt, Mortal Strike)
  • Cooldowns (e.g., Avenging Wrath, Berserking)
  • Defensive tools (e.g., Ice Block, Shield Wall)
  • Mobility abilities (e.g., Blink, Heroic Leap)
  • Crowd control (e.g., Polymorph, Fear)
  • PvP talents and expansion-specific powers

Players can view their ability list in-game via the Spellbook (P), as well as on official class pages or third-party guides. Maintaining familiarity with your full ability list is essential for maximizing DPS or HPS, executing advanced rotations, and responding properly in dungeons, raids, or PvP combat.
