WoW Forever Undead
Last checked 3 Nov 2026
Racials: Cannibalize (7% Health and 7% Mana every 2 sec for 10 sec from a Humanoid/Undead corpse), Touch of the Grave (20% chance to drain up to 5% max Health; 15 sec ICD), Underwater Breathing (300% longer), Will of the Forsaken (removes Charm/Fear/Sleep).
Classes: Warrior, Rogue, Priest, Mage, Warlock and the new Undead Paladin — the first Horde paladin combination. The race starts in Tirisfal Glades and rides skeletal horses.
The Undead Paladin is the lore headline of the six new combinations. Blizzard published a free 22-page short story, 'Unbowed', by Sean Copeland, about the first Forsaken paladin; it is the best source for the fantasy.
Will of the Forsaken is a PvP staple; Cannibalize gives strong leveling sustain. Touch of the Grave's ICD was reduced in the October tuning pass.
