Troll Racials in WoW Forever
Trolls can be Warlocks in Forever, which puts them on seven of the nine classes, more than any other Horde race. Berserking becomes a flat haste cooldown, and Rapid Regeneration is a new self-heal.
Blizzard published every race’s classes and racial traits on September 23, 2026. Every racial here, including the Priest race spells, is checked against the beta client (build 1.60.1.70450). Last reviewed: .

How these values were checked: every racial, its effect and its cooldown come from the Forever beta client's spell tables (build 1.60.1.70450), and the Classic column from the Classic Era client. Priest spell numbers are the top rank's. Beta values can still change. Classes and the new race and class combinations come from Blizzard's panel recaps. How the data is checked

Did Berserking change?
Yes. It gives a flat 10% attack and casting speed on a 3 minute cooldown. The Classic version scaled from 10% up to 30% as your health dropped.

No. Bow Specialization and Throwing Specialization aren't Troll racials in the beta client.
