Which class should you play in WoW Forever?

Pick the class whose role and play style you enjoy: all nine classes can level, run dungeons and fight in PvP, and ForeverDB's tier lists show which specs players rate strongest at the current level cap.

What players rate strongest right now

These come from ForeverDB players' own ratings at the beta's current level cap, not from us. A spec only appears once enough players have rated it. Rate your own spec on the tier lists.

Every class

Each guide has a write-up for every ability and talent, rotations, a talent calculator and what Forever changed from Classic.

Forever changed the classes

Classic advice doesn't carry over unchanged: Forever adds new abilities and talents and rebalances old ones, and Blizzard is still tuning them in the beta, most recently in the build that raised the cap to 30 (Blizzard, 1 Oct 2026). Each class's Changes vs Classic tab lists every difference in the game client.
