Choice of race and class in Wow Classic: detailed guide

Unlike the current World of Warcrfat, the choice of race and class for playing Classic can significantly affect the gameplay.

Not only are the raca-class combinations in the classic WOW much less than in BFA, each race has its own unique and diverse abilities, which makes the process of choosing its character in Classic much more entertaining than in the modern version of the game.

As the game develops, the developers of Blizzard weakened some racial abilities and added new ones, bringing most of the classes in accordance with their usefulness in the group and the damage applied. Despite this, the differences in the racial abilities of the characters are much more noticeable, so the choice of race and class can affect your game successes.

For most classes in Wow Classic, the choice of race is obvious and is not difficult. In truth, if the achievement of maximum progress in the game is not your priority task, then the differences in the character’s abilities will not play almost no role.

If you really love the ENT of the universe of the military craft, if you like the appearance and history of a particular race, then you do not need to make your choice based on the best combination of race and class. Just play your pleasure! In the end, it was for this that the developers released Wow Classic.

Of course, if you do not plan to clean the fiery bowels every week or to reach unprecedented heights in battles against players of the hostile faction. In this case, you should think about your choice. Below you will find our recommendations for choosing a class for each race of alliance and horde.

Alliance:

People have the most extensive choice of classes among all alliance races. They may be:

• magicians
• Paladins
• priests
• robbers
• Blacksnips
• Warriors.

It's funny, but if you suddenly want to play a hunter, then you will have to pay your attention to some other race. The racial abilities of people are quite strong, although they are still weaker than the abilities of some other races.

The unique ability of “diplomacy” allows people to earn 10% more reputation with any faction. A very good ability, especially considering that pumping in a classic wow occupies almost eternity.

Another racial ability of people is a specialization in such weapons, swords and maces. This skill increases the possession of one -handed and two -handed swords and maces by 5 units.

“Attentiveness” is an active racial ability of people, which sharply increases their ability to detect invisibility within 20 seconds (this ability is especially useful on PVP servers).

Well, the last ability of people is the “Human Spirit”, which passively increases the characteristics of the spirit by 5%. This is what makes Humans a great choice if you're planning on playing a class that uses mana as its primary resource.

People who have chosen the path of the priest learn two more additional abilities in the process of their pumping. These are Desperate Prayer (instantly heals the caster, has a cooldown of 10 minutes) and Reaction (burns mana to the attacking enemy and deals damage to him while this spell is active).

Given the exceptional utility of Diplomacy, especially after reaching max level, we think Humans are a great choice for those players whose characters use swords and maces as their primary weapons, or who need mana (i.e. most casters). Although human priests are quite strong, if you want to raid, we recommend choosing a dwarf for this class (due to their racial ability Fear Ward, but more on that later).

Night elfs:

Night elves can be:

• druids
• hunters
• priests
• robbers
• warriors.

This is the only race in the Alliance that can be druids, so if you ardently want to play this particular class, then your choice is obvious. Night Elves have an incredibly powerful Shadowmeld ability, somewhat similar to the Rogues' Vanish ability, which allows them to exit combat mode and become invisible. However, unlike rogues, you will not be able to move while remaining invisible. Even so, Shadowmeld is a great way to stop monsters from killing you when you're trying to run away from them.

Another night elf racial ability, Nature Resistance, passively increases nature resistance by 10. This will be especially important when the raid in Ahn'Qiraj becomes available in the game, where almost all damage is dealt by nature.
In addition, Night Elves transform into Spirit of Wisp upon death, increasing their movement speed while in Spirit by 50%. Given the huge distances from the graveyard to the body and the slow speed of running in the spirit of other races, this ability can be a very nice bonus.

Agility is another night elf passive ability. It increases your character's dodge chance by 1%.

Alas, night elves do not specialize in any particular type of weapon. Night elves who have chosen the path of the priest, as they level up, learn skills such as Starshards (a streaming spell that rains shards of stars on the enemy’s head) and Elune’s Grace (which reduces damage from ranged attacks on you and increases your chance to dodge from attack by 10%).

This race is the only possible choice.If you decide to play a druid. And what about the rest of the classes? Hunters and robbers have the ability to “merge with a shadow” not so much, since they already have abilities that allow them to discard agro. Tank soldiers will come in handy both increased evasion and resistance to the forces of nature, so the night elf-warrior will be a good choice, although they do not need to “merge with a shadow”.

In addition, the racial abilities of people will still bring more benefits for warriors than racial elves. And, as we already said earlier, if you plan to play a priest and want to visit raids, then the courtesy will do the best for this role.

Dvorfs:

Choosing for your character the rash of the dwarf, you can play for classes such as:

The unique abilities of the dwarves:

1. ability to find nearby treasures
2. have +10 units to cold resistance
3. specialize in firearms
4. Using their racial ability “stone leather” (the recovery period is 3 minutes), the yardes become immune to poisons, diseases, bleeding and increase their armor for 10% within 8 seconds.

“Stone leather” is an extremely effective ability in battles against other players.

However, the most powerful ability of the Dvorfs is “protection against fear”, which they can only receive as priests. This spell protects the friendly goal from the next effect of fear imposed on it. In addition, the Jewish courtesy, like people, receive a “prayer of despair”-a powerful healing spell with a 10-minute recovery period.

“Protection from Fear” will be extremely useful in the raid of fiery bowels, especially when meeting with Magmadar, which makes the Dvorfian priests extremely popular healers.

So if you plan to play for the priest and go to raids or fight against players of the warring faction, then the yard will be a good choice for you. In all other cases, you can safely choose for the game of a person or night elf.

Gnomes:

Classes available to gnomes:

It is because of such a meager choice of classes that the dwarves are not the most popular race for playing Wow Classic.

Dwarves have the following racial abilities:

1. +10 to the resistance of secret magic (its use is extremely rare)
2. In gnomes, intelligence is increased by 5% compared to other races (sooo useful if you want to play for a magician or a criminal)
3. +15 to engineering skill
4. The active ability of the “Master of Escape” over the time of recovery of 1 minute, which helps to avoid any effects of immobilization and limiting the speed of movement.

Increased intelligence makes gnomes a worthy choice if you want to play a magician or a criminal. The “Master of Escape” can be useful to you both in PVP and PVE. If you do not plan to play for a magician or warlock, then we advise you to pay your attention to other races.

Selectable Orc classes include:

• hunter
• robber
• shaman
• Warlock
• warrior

Orcs have the following racial abilities:

1. ax specialization (increases the skill of one-handed and two-handed axes by 5 points)
2. Blood Fury (An active ability with a 2-minute cooldown that increases the power of your melee attack, but also reduces the amount of healing done to you by 50%)
3. Dominion is a passive ability that increases the damage dealt by Hunter and Warlock pets by 5%.
4. Hardness – Increases chance to resist stun effects by 25%.

Blood Fury makes Orcs a popular choice for melee classes, especially in PvP where their Hardiness is also extremely useful. With a combination of racial talents such as increased ax skill and Blood Fury, Orc Warriors will be especially good.

Dominance makes Orcs a great choice if you want to play as a Hunter (assuming your pet is active all the time) and a slightly less effective choice for Warlocks who don't always use their pets after reaching max level.

Tauren:

Tauren have the following classes to choose from:

This is the only race among the representatives of the Horde that can be druids. The list of their racial abilities includes:

1. +15 points to Herbalism skill (a real lifesaver for herbalists in Classic realities, where attempting to collect herbs may not be successful)
2. +5% total health (especially useful if you want to play tanky)
3. +10 nature resistance (as we said above, it will come in handy in Ahn'Qiraji raids after they are opened)
4. Thunder Walk is a powerful active ability that stuns nearby enemies for 2 seconds.

With a combination of abilities such as increased nature resistance, increased health and the ability to stun opponents, the tauren will perfectly cope with the role of a tank warrior. If you want to play some other class (with the exception of druids), then we recommend that you pay attention to other races.

Trolls:

You can choose the following classes if you decide to play as a troll:

Trolls have the following racial abilities:

1. Animal Slaughter – Increases damage dealt to animals by 5%.
2. Bow Specialization – Adds 5 points to Bow Proficiency
3. Throwing Weapon Specialization – Adds 5 points to Throwing Weapon Proficiency
4. Regeneration – increases health regeneration by 10%, in addition, 10% health regeneration can continue even during battle
5. Battle Frenzy is a powerful activated ability that increases your attack speed and casting speed for 10 seconds (the lower your health, the faster your speed becomes).

Being a priest, the trolls receive two unique abilities: a very useful “exhausting evil eye” (a negative effect imposed on the enemy, which reduces the damage he inflicts) and the “guard of darkness” (Buff, which the priest imposes on himself, damaging the enemies attacking the caster).

Berserker is one of the few racial abilities that exist in the game that makes the races of the trolls much better and more efficiently than the rest. It was this ability that was one of the factors that led to a significant quantitative imbalance between the horde and the alliance (in favor of the former, of course). Berserker is an incredibly powerful spell, especially for those classes that cause damage in both near and distant battle.

We advise you to choose a troll for the game by any class, except for a tank warrior (we believe that Tauren is best suited for tanks). In addition, the hunters trolls will also be a good choice, because they specialize in bows.

Undead:

Having decided to play for the undead, such classes will be available to you:

The undead has the following racial skills:

1. “Cannibalism” is a streaming spell, which allows no lives to restore 35% of health, absorbing corpses lying nearby (it may be useful for solo)
2. +10 units to the resistance of the magic of darkness
3. “Underwater breathing” – this skill increases the duration of underwater breathing by 300% of the usual
4. “The will of the renounced”-a spell with a 2-minute recovery period; Makes undead to the immune to spells of submission, fear and sleep within 5 seconds (or removes these effects if they are already imposed on you)

Having chosen the priest’s class, the undead additionally receives 2 more unique racial talents: “touch of weakness” (causes damage to the enemies attacking the caster, and also reduces the damage they do) and “all -devouring the plague” (a spell overlap on the enemy that causes him damage from dark magic, and heals the caster due to the damage applied).

“The will of the renounced” is a sufficiently powerful ability in PVP, due to which the quiet is a popular choice for many classes on PVP servers. In addition, the unique abilities of non-residence-ghremes are very useful, which is why the priest class will be a good choice for undead. Of its racial skills, undead can also become a good criminal in PVP (for PVE, we still recommend that you be a criminal-orch). For all other classes, we recommend taking a troll.
