Racial abilities in Forever
- VERIFIED
In World of Warcraft: Forever, racial abilities have been reworked to feel stronger, more distinct, and more meaningful without pushing every race toward the same strengths.
[World of Warcraft: Forever Deep Dive Panel Recap, 2026-09-13] - VERIFIED
Each race now has two active abilities and two passive abilities, tuned to provide a similar amount of offensive power while preserving signature utility.
[World of Warcraft: Forever Deep Dive Panel Recap, 2026-09-13] - VERIFIED Stoneform (active) :
Immunity to Bleeds, Poisons, and Diseases and reduce Physical damage taken for 8 seconds
[Create the Hero You Want to Be in World of Warcraft: Forever, 2026-09-22] - VERIFIED Find Treasure (active) :
Track nearby treasure chests
[Create the Hero You Want to Be in World of Warcraft: Forever, 2026-09-22] - VERIFIED Mace Specialization (passive) :
Maces increase spell and ability critical chance by 1%
[Create the Hero You Want to Be in World of Warcraft: Forever, 2026-09-22] - VERIFIED Big Game Hunter (passive) :
Damage to Beasts increased by 5%
[Create the Hero You Want to Be in World of Warcraft: Forever, 2026-09-22] - VERIFIED
Dwarves, for example, keep Stoneform’s focus on removing and granting immunity to Bleeds, Poisons, and Diseases, but its defensive bonus now reduces Physical damage taken instead of increasing Armor, making it useful to more classes. Find Treasure can now remain active alongside other tracking abilities, Mace Specialization increases critical strike chance with all spells and abilities while a mace is equipped, and Big Game Hunter grants increased damage against Beasts, giving Dwarf characters moments where they can shine in the right encounters.
