Who are the Humans?

Humans are the youngest of Azeroth’s great races and the most stubborn about surviving. Their kingdom of Stormwind was burned to the ground when the orcs first came through the Dark Portal, and they rebuilt it stone by stone.

They lead the Alliance, the pact that held the orcs back in the Second War. Their soldiers, priests and mages are found in every corner of the Eastern Kingdoms, and their faith in the Holy Light gave the world its first Paladins.

Which class should a Human play?

With seven classes to choose from, the question is less what a Human can do and more what kind of hero you picture. Paladin is the classic Human knight in shining armor, and on the Alliance side only Humans and Dwarves take up the Light that way. Warlock is the darker path, shared only with Gnomes.

Hunter, Mage, Priest, Rogue and Warrior all fit a Human just as well, from a hedge knight to a court wizard.

Don’t let small bonuses decide for you. Pick the class you’ll still enjoy at level 40, and play the Alliance if that’s where your friends are.
