WoW Forever classes

The nine classes as the WoW Forever beta client describes them: the roles each one fills, the races that may take it, and how many of its talents and abilities the beta has changed since Classic Era.

Beta build 1.60.1.69913, compared against Classic Era 1.15.9.69722. Read from the client on September 22, 2026.

The nine classes

Counts come from the beta client's own talent and ability tables, compared row by row with the Classic Era baseline.

What changed across the nine classes

Every talent and ability the beta added or altered, class by class, most-changed first. Each number opens that class’s own list of changes.

617 changes across 9 classes.

Racial abilities the beta touched
