WoW Forever Skyborne Warrior: racials, faction and changes

29 Oct 2026 (AEDT), from Blizzard's beta notes (updated 26 Oct US) and official articles. Launch: Thu 5 Nov 10:00 AEDT. Unconfirmed = our read or not yet stated by Blizzard; may change at launch.

Hunter, Rogue, Warrior and Druid are open to Skyborne on both factions: High Order (Alliance) and Windshaper (Horde). Skyborne start on Zephras Isle (levels 1-12).

Skyborne racials for Warriors

Racial values are from the 26 Oct beta notes; Blizzard's earlier Skyborne article listed 1% haste, +10% speed and +100% regen. See racial changes.

Unconfirmed pick: Windshaper for mobility (Skysight). Read Leyline's health regen helps between pulls, but Warriors use rage, not mana.

Warrior changes in the latest beta notes

• Sunder Armor threat corrected on all ranks, with a small extra threat from attack power.
• Protection: Focused Rage now comes before Bastion in the tree.
• Arms: Bloodthrill chance raised to 4/8/12/16/20% (main-hand attacks only, incl. Cleave and Heroic Strike).
• Arms: Slam cooldown 18 sec (was 15); Improved Slam cuts it by 1.5/3 sec.
• Gamepad: stance flyout.

Other Warrior races: Human, Dwarf, Night Elf and Gnome (Alliance); Orc, Undead, Tauren and Troll (Horde). Compare every race in all racials; Warrior builds live in the Warrior hub. More Skyborne: Skyborne, Skyborne classes.
