WoW Forever Race and Class Combinations
WoW Forever keeps every original Classic race and class combination and adds six new ones seen in the BlizzCon demo: Human Hunter, Dwarf Shaman and Gnome Priest for the Alliance; Orc Mage, Troll Warlock and Undead Paladin for the Horde. The new Skyborne race can be a Warrior, Hunter, Rogue or Druid on either faction, plus Mage (Alliance) or Shaman (Horde).

Skyborne classes
Blizzard's What's Next panel recap confirms the Skyborne choose Horde or Alliance at character creation. Both can be Warriors, Hunters, Rogues or Druids, with new Skyborne druid forms. Horde-aligned Skyborne can also be Shaman, and Alliance-aligned Skyborne can be Mage. The race requires the Skyborne Heroic Pack or higher. Their racials also differ by faction: see Skyborne racials.
