One of the most exciting things about World of Warcraft: Forever is the freedom it gives players when they're creating characters. The original version of Azeroth had some pretty strict race and class restrictions, and although those limitations helped establish each faction's identity, they also ruled out combinations that made perfect sense. World of Warcraft: Forever changes that by introducing new combinations for existing races, alongside the new Skyborne race.

As announced by Blizzard, World of Warcraft: Forever is getting massive race changes.

I've always enjoyed how much personality a character's race adds to their class, so these additions immediately caught my attention. Some offer genuinely useful racial abilities, while others give players a fresh way to experience familiar parts of Warcraft's world. I'm ranking these race and class combinations based on how well their abilities work together, how interesting they are from a lore perspective, and how much they bring to World of Warcraft: Forever's version of Azeroth.

The Alliance-aligned High Order Skyborne are descendants of Highborne elves who settled in Skywall, so Mage feels like an obvious class choice. Their decision to reclaim their ancestors' arcane knowledge is also an important part of their story. I like that connection, especially since their magical abilities reflect the direction their society is taking.

Wind Blessed provides 2% additional Haste, while Read Leyline increases Health and Mana regeneration by 50% for 15 seconds. Using the latter at a Ley Line increases its effectiveness to 100% through the Attuned bonus. These are useful benefits for a spellcaster, although the Alliance already has strong Mage options.
