FAQ
- Which race should I pick for my class?
- Start with the races that can play your class in the table, then compare their racial traits on each card. They are small bonuses, such as 1% critical strike chance for Humans or an ability that breaks stuns, so pick the faction and look you enjoy first.
- What is the Skyborne race?
- Skyborne is WoW Forever's new race, with one version per faction. High-Order Skyborne (Alliance) can be Druid, Hunter, Mage, Rogue or Warrior; Windshaper Skyborne (Horde) can be Druid, Hunter, Rogue, Shaman or Warrior.
- Did racial traits change in WoW Forever?
- Yes. Blizzard's beta notes of October 15, 2026 reworked the racials of several races, for example Human Sword Specialization became Ruthless. A final pass before launch on October 26 tuned them again: Ruthless is now 1% critical strike chance, Dwarves get Artisan's Precision (1% hit) instead of Earth Fury, and Orcs get Command (5% pet damage) back instead of Savage.
