Blizzard's full race and class chart, and new racials for five races

Every race's classes in one table, plus new abilities for Humans, Orcs, Trolls, Tauren and Night Elves: Will to Survive, Shatter Curse, Rapid Regeneration, Plainsrunning and Elune's Light.

Blizzard has published the complete race and class tables for World of Warcraft: Forever, one per faction, with the Skyborne in both. The chart holds the six new combinations Blizzard named in its Deep Dive recap (Orc Mages, Troll Warlocks, Undead Paladins, Human Hunters, Gnome Priests and Dwarf Shamans) and no others: every other pairing is Classic’s. Skyborne can be Warriors, Hunters, Rogues and Druids on either side, plus Shamans as the Horde’s Windshapers or Mages as the Alliance’s High Order.

The same post lists every race’s four racials, two active and two passive, and five races get abilities not reported before:

  • Humans gain Will to Survive, which removes stuns. Sword Specialization adds 2 percent critical chance to spells and abilities with a sword, and The Human Spirit gives 5 percent more Spirit.
  • Orcs gain Shatter Curse: immunity to curses and banes, and less magical damage taken, for 8 seconds. Blood Fury raises Attack Power and Spell Power by 10 percent for 15 seconds, and Hardiness shortens stuns by 20 percent.
  • Trolls gain Rapid Regeneration, restoring half their maximum Health over time, and Regeneration keeps 10 percent of Health regeneration going in combat. Berserking gives 10 percent casting and attack speed for 10 seconds.
  • Tauren gain Plainsrunning, more movement speed the longer they keep moving, and Endurance adds 1 percent Hit Chance to its 5 percent Health.
  • Night Elves gain Elune’s Light, 10 percent more critical chance for 15 seconds. Quickness adds 2 percent run speed to its 1 percent Dodge.

Gnome Engineering Specialization now promises more reliable engineering devices. The Dwarf, Undead and Skyborne racials match what was already reported.

Why it matters: this is the chart to check before you settle on a race for a class, and five races now bring a new ability to that choice.

Tracked on everything we know.
