WoW Forever Race and Class Combinations

New combos in Forever

Warcraft Tavern first listed six new pairings for the original eight races from the BlizzCon demo, and the beta client has every one of them. With Dwarf Shaman and Undead Paladin, both factions can play all nine classes; in original WoW Classic, Paladins were Alliance-only and Shamans Horde-only.

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. Everything else about the race is in the Skyborne guide.
