Classes

"new" = combination new in WoW Forever. Badges: Forever Guides HTML/CSS.

Best classes

Unconfirmed: our pick from racial text; play what you enjoy, racials are small next to talents and gear.

Rogue, Warrior: Will to Survive is one of two racial stun breaks; Perception spots Rogues. Priest: keeps Divine Grace and Feedback; 10% Spirit helps regen. Paladin, Mage good; Hunter new. Ruthless at 1% no longer gives a PvE edge, so Human is a PvP pick.

Spell tooltips: Wowhead (Classic Era data); Forever values may differ.
