World of Warcraft: Forever

Races

All ten playable races, Alliance and Horde: who they are, their racial abilities, the classes each can be and the ones each suits best.

Alliance

Dwarf

Sturdy mountain folk with a damage-reducing Stoneform, the only Alliance race that can play a Shaman, and a good choice for tanks.

Classes: Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Paladin, Shaman

Gnome

Small, brilliant tinkerers with extra resources, a strong escape and a damage window, and a natural fit for casters and Rogues.

Classes: Warrior, Mage, Rogue, Priest, Warlock

Human

Adaptable, determined people of the Eastern Kingdoms, and the race to pick for a melee or hybrid class that wants a steady crit bonus and a stun breaker.

Classes: Warrior, Hunter, Mage, Rogue, Priest, Warlock, Paladin

Night Elf

Ancient, agile forest guardians with a strong burst of crit and the stealthy Shadowmeld, and the standard Alliance choice for a Druid.

Classes: Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Druid

Skyborne (High Order)

Alliance Skyborne scholars from the wind spirits' realm, the only Alliance race with a built-in glide and the only one with a Mage tied to its lore.

Classes: Warrior, Hunter, Mage, Rogue, Druid

Horde

Orc

Orcs are the strongest all-round Horde fighters, with a damage cooldown that helps casters as well as melee, a curse cleanse and stun resistance.

Classes: Warrior, Hunter, Mage, Rogue, Warlock, Shaman

Skyborne (Windshaper)

Windshapers are the Horde Skyborne, shen'dorei with a haste bonus, a glide and a run-speed blessing, and the only Skyborne who can be Shamans.

Classes: Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Druid, Shaman

Tauren

Tauren are large, durable Horde fighters with extra health, a crowd stun and a stacking speed boost, and the natural home of the Horde Druid.

Classes: Warrior, Hunter, Druid, Shaman

Troll

Darkspear trolls are quick, regenerating Horde fighters with a haste burst and a self-heal, and they can play seven classes.

Classes: Warrior, Hunter, Mage, Rogue, Priest, Warlock, Shaman

Undead

The Forsaken are the best Horde race for casters and healers, with mana recovery, a fear and charm break, and a health-drain proc.

Classes: Warrior, Mage, Rogue, Priest, Warlock, Paladin
