WoW Forever Races and Classes

Choosing a Skyborne faction

Both factions share Warrior, Hunter, Rogue and Druid. The fifth announced choice is Shaman for Horde and Mage for Alliance. Your faction choice therefore matters if either of those classes is your reason for playing Skyborne. Official class preview

Skyborne and its starting experience require Heroic Pack or higher. The official edition terms separate this unlock from base access. [source] [source]

Forsaken Paladins and Dwarf Shamans

These are two explicitly announced combinations. A Forsaken Paladin gives Horde players a new route into the class; Dwarf Shaman does the same for Alliance. The image above is Blizzard’s Forever class preview, not a character created or tested by ForeverAtlas. Official announcement

What about the rest of the roster?

The full roster is not yet verified in this atlas. The matrix includes only combinations supported by a captured source.

Unverified does not mean unavailable. We have not imported the original Vanilla race/class grid and relabeled it as Forever-confirmed. The table lists additions that the current sources explicitly name.

Class changes and builds

Classes and specializations are being revised. Blizzard announces new abilities and talent updates. [source] [source]

An announced revision is not enough to rank the best classes, publish a tested build or promise that an old Classic rotation will transfer unchanged. If you are deciding what to play now, the confirmed faction and class choices are the useful starting point. Builds can follow once there is evidence from the relevant version.
