Classes

The new race and class combinations in Forever, and how to decide which one to roll.

Start here

Which class should you actually roll?

That depends on your hours, your realm, whether you play alone or with people, and what you want to be doing at 60. The plan builder weighs all four and names one — plus a second pick if the first does not appeal.

The honest gap

What we cannot tell you yet

Forever rebuilds every talent tree. Until those trees are visible, any Forever class tier list — ours or anyone else's — is Classic wisdom wearing a new coat.

• Talent trees are rebuilt so a class feels distinct depending on where the points goConfirmed
• The specific talents, their tiers, and what they costUnknown
• Which specs become viable in Forever that never were in ClassicUnknown
• Every class rating on this site is provisional until the trees are visibleSpeculative

How to read these labels. Confirmed — Stated by Blizzard at BlizzCon or in official material. Strong signal — Datamined, or consistent across every previous Classic launch. Usually right. Speculative — Our read. Reasoned, but not fact, and we will say so when it turns out wrong. Unknown — Nobody has said. We are not going to pretend otherwise.

Beta opens 17 September. We will publish a Forever-versus-Classic talent comparison when there is something true to compare — and not before.

New in Forever

The combinations that did not exist before

These are genuinely new ground. If you want to play something nobody has fifteen years of theorycrafting about, start here.
