What is new in Forever

Warcraft Tavern

Compared with Classic. Blizzard may still change the numbers before release.

  1. No new classes.
  2. Elune’s Light (+10% crit for 15 sec) replaced Nature Resistance.
  3. The night elf is no longer the only druid: the Skyborne arrived.
  4. Horde Skyborne speak Darnassian too, so you can talk to the other faction.

Story

For ages the night elves have guarded the forests of Kalimdor and worship the moon goddess Elune. Their new home, Darnassus, stands atop the world tree Teldrassil, where the journey begins.

Best classes

  • DruidA classic: Shadowmeld on top of cat form stealth.
  • HunterElune’s Light gives a crit window, Quickness helps keep your distance.
  • RogueShadowmeld and dodge help in PvP.

This is the author’s opinion. Any allowed combination is playable.
