10 race profiles

Alliance

5 choices

Alliance

Human

Humans combine a Stun removal and temporary stealth detection with passive critical chance and Spirit. Their combat bonus no longer asks for a sword, and Human Hunter adds another character choice to their broad class selection in Forever.

Alliance

Dwarf

Stoneform supplies a specific defensive answer, Find Treasure supports exploration, and Artisan’s Precision adds 1% hit chance with spells and attacks. Dwarves also deal extra damage to Beasts, with Shaman joining their class choices in Forever. Chest bonuses remain a chance, not guaranteed loot.

Alliance

Night Elf

Night Elves combine stationary concealment with a timed critical-chance boost, passive movement and dodge, and faster travel as a Wisp after death. Shadowmeld has different cooldown behavior in combat, so its exact description matters more than assumptions from another version of WoW.

Alliance

Gnome

Gnomes bring an escape from movement impairments, a larger class resource pool and more reliable engineering devices. Eureka adds a brief cost-and-output window with class-specific details. Forever also opens the Priest class, making its healing and shield interactions worth checking separately.

WarriorRoguePriestMageWarlock

The Alliance's Skyborne path seeks arcane knowledge and independence from missing elemental patrons. High Order characters share the race's glide and haste, but gain a Health-and-Mana regeneration blessing. Their class selection includes Mage; the Horde profile offers Shaman instead.

Horde

5 choices

Horde

Orc

A burst window for physical attacks or spells, shorter stuns and an answer to curses. Orcs pair active combat tools with Command, a 5% damage bonus for Hunter and Warlock pets, and Forever opens the Mage class alongside their existing martial and magical paths.

Horde

Undead

The Forsaken bring a targeted crowd-control escape, corpse-based recovery and a health-drain proc. Their utility rewards understanding which effect you are facing and when recovery is safe. Forever also makes Paladin available to Undead characters.

Horde

Tauren

A nearby stun, extra Health, movement that builds while travelling and a herb-growing ability give Tauren a varied toolkit. Their benefits cover combat and the open world, with important limits on Plainsrunning uptime and Cultivation's cooldown.

Troll

Trolls combine a casting-and-attack-speed cooldown with two forms of Health recovery and extra damage against Beasts. Rapid Regeneration needs a safe channel, while Berserking is the active combat window. Warlock joins their available classes in Forever.

WarriorHunterRoguePriestShamanMageWarlock

The Horde's Skyborne path preserves its bond with elemental wind spirits. Windshapers pair a controlled downward glide with a travel-speed blessing, passive haste and extra damage against Elementals. Their class selection includes Shaman; the Alliance profile offers Mage instead.
