Not sure what to roll in WoW Forever? We pick the best Alliance and Horde class for Classic Plus — Dwarf Shaman and Undead Paladin — plus the best class for leveling, tanking, healing, PvP and gold, with racials, new race and class combinations and what can still change before launch.

Blizzard said it on stage: World of Warcraft: Forever is Classic+. Launch November 4, beta September 17, level 60 forever with no seasons and no wipes. The neutral Skyborne race, four new zones, nine dungeons, two raids, a 15v15 battleground, Undead Paladins and Dwarf Shamans — everything from BlizzCon day one.

Discover WoW Midnight: Eclipse, the upcoming patch 12.2. Explore the Worldcore raid, Season 3 Mythic+ rotation, Delve updates, new paladin races, and housing features. Find out what Blizzard has announced, what remains unconfirmed, and how to prepare for the next chapter.

Enter your 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5 rating and see which bracket pays this week, how many arena points land at the reset, and how many weeks the Vengeful set is away. Blizzard's Season 3 formula, the 10-game rule and the 5,000 cap built in, plus a gear planner with your own buy order.

Every tank, healer and DPS ranked for Season 2 keys at +12 and above, from a team above 3,400 rating. One S-tier per role, the push comp built around them, where we break from public lists, and the three things that actually get you invited. Updated after each major tuning pass.

Five of the eight maps have never run under Mythic+ rules — Season 2 resets the ladder for everyone at once. Inside: the full dungeon pool with timers, the affix ladder from Lindormi's free-death training wheels up to Xal'atath's Guile, the item level and crest table for every key, Resilient Keystones, and the rewards from Keystone Master to the 0.1% Venomous Hero title.

Midnight's second content update finishes the Quel'thalas story and hands Season 2 its highest item level. Kith'ix drops 344 from a single boss, the first Labyrinth pays doubled crests and opens your delve tiers, and one title disappears at the first weekly reset. Every feature, every number we can confirm.

TBC's strangest raid is a siege: eight waves of Scourge before every boss, Jaina and Thrall holding the line, and Archimonde waiting at the World Tree. Inside — the Vials of Eternity attunement (yes, you need Vashj and Kael'thas dead first), wave-by-wave mana discipline, scannable tactics for all five bosses, and the complete 78-item loot table with BiS tags per boss.

Nine bosses, one Betrayer at the summit — Black Temple is the crown of TBC raiding, and it opens in Phase 3 demanding more prep than anything before it. Inside: the full attunement questline from Anchorite Ceyla to Akama, the three-tank and Warlock-tank compositions, tactics for every fight up to five-phase Illidan, and a verified BiS loot table with the Warglaives path.

The spec that wins by refusing to lose. The 27/34/0 SL/SL build point by point, the full Season 3 BiS list with sources, why Warlock/Druid still rules 2v2, matchups against all seven classes, and the pet management, Devour discipline and Life Tap positioning that separate 1900 from Gladiator.
