Who are the Dwarves?
The Dwarves of the Bronzebeard clan live deep inside the mountain city of Ironforge. They are miners, smiths and engineers, and their rifles and cannons are famous across Azeroth.
Lately many have turned to archaeology, digging into the past to learn about their stony origins and the Titans who may have shaped them. They have been loyal members of the Alliance since the Second War, and their warriors and paladins stand in its front ranks.
Which class should a Dwarf play?
Shaman is the headline choice. No other Alliance race can play one, so a Dwarf Shaman stands out in any group and gives you a class most Alliance players never try.
If you want the traditional picture instead, a Dwarf Paladin or Warrior in heavy armor is as iconic as it gets, and a Dwarf Hunter with a rifle and a bear at their side has been a favorite for years. Priest and Rogue round out the list.
Choose by what sounds fun rather than by numbers. And if your friends play Horde, no Dwarf class will get you into their group.
