WoW Forever Classes

All nine classes are tracked with a source-ranked mix of Blizzard-confirmed changes, gameplay evidence, Creator Showcase footage, and community tooltip transcription.

Mixed evidence, labeled by source. This page combines Blizzard-confirmed information with gameplay captures, media reporting, and community research. Verification badges show the evidence level for individual entries; official confirmation takes precedence where sources differ.

September 24 class and talent tuning

Blizzard deployed a broad Beta tuning pass across Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, and Warrior.

  • • Druid Wrath base damage increased by about 50%; Mangle was renamed Primal Bite and its signature debuff was removed.
  • • Mage Wake of Fire duration increased to 30 seconds, Hot Streak to 20 seconds, and Ignite no longer double dips on percentage damage modifiers.
  • • Paladin Holy Strike rank scaling was increased; Holy Strike cooldown was lowered to 10 seconds for Holy and Improved Holy Strike was removed.
  • • Paladin Retribution Vengeance now activates from non-periodic critical strikes and has a maximum of 3 stacks.
  • • Shaman Lava Burst ranks 1 and 2 were increased and Rage of the Far Seer no longer increases spell casting speed.
  • • Warrior Sunder Armor threat values were corrected on all ranks, including a small increase from Attack Power; Arms and Protection talents also received tuning.

These are Beta values, not launch guarantees.

Will WoW Forever add new classes?

No additional class is officially confirmed. Multiple community reports show that some players received a Battle.net survey about possible future class directions, but a research survey is not a roadmap or implementation announcement.
