Compare WoW Forever classes.

Hunter

Choose the playstyle, not the hype.

A companion, a bow, and a plan. Hunter rewards players who enjoy positioning, pet control, and making decisions as the fight changes.

Mage

Knowledge as a weapon, distance as armor.

The mage treats every encounter as a problem to be solved before it reaches them. Raw elemental power sits beside tools for slowing, holding and redirecting threats, so the class rewards players who think a step ahead.

Mage

Your first outings feel like a study session with consequences. You learn how far you can stand, how quickly a foe closes the gap and when to stop casting and simply step away. Each small victory is a lesson in timing.
