With every race receiving four new or reworked racial abilities in WoW: Forever, picking the best race for each class has never been harder. With beta right around the corner, we’ve prepared a quick video that goes through every class and goes through the options for it, looking at their pros and cons.

On our new official YouTube Channel, you can watch the full breakdown per class to know which race is the best for them.
Best Race per Class in WoW: Forever Beta
| Class | Alliance | Horde |
|---|---|---|
| Druid | Night Elf | Tauren |
| Hunter | Human | Troll |
| Mage | Gnome | Orc |
| Paladin | Human | Undead |
| Priest | Gnome | Undead |
| Rogue | Night Elf | Troll |
| Shaman | Dwarf | Orc |
| Warlock | Gnome | Undead |
| Warrior | Night Elf (Dwarf for Tank) | Orc or Tauren |
These picks are based on what we’ve seen so far from the BlizzCon demos and datamining. They will likely change before Forever launches November 4th.
Bonus Tip for Exploration
Since Beta will be all about exploring and capped at level 20, Tauren’s Plainsrunning will likely be a strong pick. Offering up to 30% movement speed while traveling across the world will be incredibly valuable.
