Lords of War

Warrior

Tank / Melee DPS

For as long as war has raged, heroes from every race have aimed to master the art of battle. Warriors combine strength, leadership, and a vast knowledge of arms and armor to wreak havoc in glorious combat. Some protect from the front lines with shields, locking down enemies while allies support the warrior from behind with spell and bow. Others forgo the shield and unleash their rage at the closest threat with a variety of deadly weapons.

Solves problems by getting closer to them. Works more often than it should.

Available to: Human, Dwarf, Night Elf, Gnome, Draenei, Orc, Undead, Tauren, Troll

Paragons of Justice

Paladin

Tank / Healer / Melee DPS

This is the call of the paladin: to protect the weak, to bring justice to the unjust, and to vanquish evil from the darkest corners of the world. These holy warriors are equipped with plate armor so they can confront the toughest of foes, and the blessing of the Light allows them to heal wounds and, in some cases, even restore life to the dead.

For people who like winning arguments with a hammer and a clean conscience.

Available to: Human, Dwarf, Draenei, Blood Elf

Inescapable Stalkers

Hunter

Ranged DPS

From an early age, the call of the wild draws some adventurers from the comfort of their homes into the unforgiving primal world outside. Those who endure become hunters. Masters of their environment, they are able to slip like ghosts through the trees and lay traps in the paths of their enemies.

You already talk to your pet like it understands you. Now it fights for you too.

Available to: Dwarf, Night Elf, Draenei, Orc, Tauren, Troll, Blood Elf

Prowling Cutpurses

Rogue

Melee DPS

For rogues, the only code is the contract, and their honor is purchased in gold. Free from the constraints of a conscience, these mercenaries rely on brutal and efficient tactics. Lethal assassins and masters of stealth, they will approach their marks from behind, piercing a vital organ and vanishing into the shadows before the victim hits the ground.

Shows up five minutes early to every ambush and never has to explain why.

Available to: Human, Dwarf, Night Elf, Gnome, Orc, Undead, Troll, Blood Elf

Invokers of Light and Darkness

Priest

Healer / Ranged DPS

Priests are devoted to the spiritual, and express their unwavering faith by serving the people. For millennia they have left behind the confines of their temples and the comfort of their shrines so they can support their allies in war-torn lands. In the midst of terrible conflict, no hero questions the value of the priestly orders.

Everyone's favorite until the healing bar runs dry, then briefly nobody's favorite.

Available to: Human, Dwarf, Night Elf, Gnome, Draenei, Undead, Troll, Blood Elf

Adepts of the Elements

Shaman

Healer / Melee DPS / Ranged DPS

Shaman are spiritual guides and practitioners, not of the divine, but of the very elements. Unlike some other mystics, shaman commune with forces that are not strictly benevolent. The elements are chaotic, and left to their own devices, they rage against one another in unending primal fury. It is the call of the shaman to bring balance to this chaos. Acting as moderators among earth, fire, water, and air, shaman summon totems that focus the elements to support the shaman’s allies or punish those who threaten them.

Drops small totems on the ground and somehow this fixes everything.

Available to: Draenei, Orc, Tauren, Troll

Masters of Time and Space

Mage

Ranged DPS

Students gifted with a keen intellect and unwavering discipline may walk the path of the mage. The arcane magic available to magi is both great and dangerous, and thus is revealed only to the most devoted practitioners. To avoid interference with their spellcasting, magi wear only cloth armor, but arcane shields and enchantments give them additional protection. To keep enemies at bay, magi can summon bursts of fire to incinerate distant targets and cause entire areas to erupt, setting groups of foes ablaze.

Conjures its own snacks. Objectively the most efficient class in the game.

Available to: Human, Gnome, Draenei, Undead, Troll, Blood Elf

Channelers of Forbidden Powers

Warlock

Ranged DPS

In the face of demonic power, most heroes see death. Warlocks see only opportunity. Dominance is their aim, and they have found a path to it in the dark arts. These voracious spellcasters summon demonic minions to fight beside them. At first, they command only the service of imps, but as a warlock’s knowledge grows, seductive succubi, loyal voidwalkers, and horrific felhunters join the dark sorcerer’s ranks to wreak havoc on anyone who stands in their master’s way.

Owns a demon. The demon has more personality than most NPCs.

Available to: Human, Gnome, Orc, Undead, Troll, Blood Elf

Savage Shapeshifters

Druid

Tank / Healer / DPS

Druids harness the vast powers of nature to preserve balance and protect life. With experience, druids can unleash nature’s raw energy against their enemies, raining celestial fury on them from a great distance, binding them with enchanted vines, or ensnaring them in unrelenting cyclones.

For people who could never commit to one job title on a business card.

Available to: Night Elf, Tauren

Heralds of Doom

Death Knight

Tank / Melee DPS

When the Lich King’s control over his death knights was broken, his former champions found their new purpose as Knights of the Ebon Blade. After Bolvar Fordragon donned the helm to keep the undead Scourge contained, he called forth a new generation of death knights to join the Ebon Blade's cause.

You'll fit right in if you enjoy dramatic entrances and mild resurrection privileges.
