Your character
Race
Your race decides your faction, your look and your four racial traits.
Class
Your class decides how you fight and what you do in a group.
Specialization
Your specialization decides your role: tank, healer or damage.
New since Classic
Six familiar races can now play a class they couldn’t in Classic. The Skyborne are a new race, played as the High Order for the Alliance or the Windshapers for the Horde, so every one of their combinations is new.
Choosing your first character
Your race picks a side
Every race belongs to one faction, the Alliance or the Horde. If friends already play, check which side they’re on before you pick a race.
Your class picks how you fight
Each class has three specializations that take it in different directions, such as tanking, healing or dealing damage. Your specialization also steers what your name means.
Your name follows both
The Name Generator uses your race for how a name sounds and your class and specialization for what it means, so a Dwarf Shaman gets different names from a Dwarf Warrior.
