WoW Forever Classes

Last checked 3 Nov 2026

Nine classes: druid, hunter, mage, paladin, priest, rogue, shaman, warlock, warrior. Six new race/class combinations: Gnome Priest, Human Hunter, Dwarf Shaman, Orc Mage, Troll Warlock, Undead Paladin.

Skyborne can be Warrior, Hunter, Rogue or Druid on both factions, Shaman on Horde and Mage on Alliance; they cannot be Paladin.

Every class has a reworked talent tree; Wowhead counts 55–67 talents per class with 5–20 new and 2–15 removed. Launch-week hotfixes changed paladin, druid and mage trees after the beta guides were written.
