Your role counts most. The group role answer counts three times, where you fight from twice, and every other answer once. Answers like “Don’t mind” and your faction don’t move the score.
Each talent path has traits taken from our class guides: which trees tank or heal, which level fastest alone, which have a pet, which are forgiving on a Hardcore realm.
“New in Forever” is counted, not guessed: the new talents in each tree, plus extra for a new 31-point talent, from the same talent data as the calculator.
Races come from the race pages: who can play the class on your faction, and what their racials do for it. New pairs in Forever are Dwarf Shaman, Gnome Priest, Human Hunter, Orc Mage, Troll Warlock, and Undead Paladin, and the Skyborne on both factions.
Class quiz FAQ
Does WoW Forever have specializations?
No. Forever keeps Classic’s three talent trees per class, and you can spread points across them. What this quiz calls a talent path is the tree you put most of your points in.
Which classes can tank in WoW Forever?
Warrior (Protection), Paladin (Protection, reworked with a tank seal) and Druid (Feral, in Bear Form). Blizzard says a Forever tank holds three or four enemies at once, so bigger pulls need crowd control.
Which classes can heal in WoW Forever?
Priest (Discipline or Holy), Paladin (Holy), Shaman (Restoration) and Druid (Restoration).
What race and class combinations are new in WoW Forever?
Dwarf Shaman, Gnome Priest, Human Hunter, Orc Mage, Troll Warlock, and Undead Paladin, plus the Skyborne, a new race whose High Order (Alliance) and Windshaper (Horde) factions can each play five classes.
