Night Elf
Night Elf appears in the Alliance roster retained in the Forever beta export. This reference summarizes that race’s recorded general racials and class options.[1]
Recorded class options
Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Druid.[1]
See Race and class combinations for the distinction between an announced addition, a source-listed combination, and an unlisted combination.
Recorded racial abilities
The following summarizes the beta export; listed numbers are build-specific data, not independent gameplay measurements.[1]
| Ability | Recorded effect |
|---|---|
| Elune's Light | Adds 10% critical-strike chance to spells and attacks for 15 seconds, with a 3-minute cooldown. |
| Shadowmeld | Conceals the character until movement or cancellation. The listed cooldown is 10 seconds; use in combat discourages enemies from attacking and extends it to 2 minutes. |
| Quickness | Adds 1% dodge and 2% movement speed. Night Elf Rogues and Druids also gain Stealth detection resistance equivalent to one additional level; this benefit belongs to Quickness in the beta export. |
| Wisp Spirit | Becoming a wisp after death grants 75% increased movement speed. |
Stealth, movement, and recovery
Record whether Shadowmeld was used in or out of combat when reporting its behavior. Wisp Spirit concerns recovery after death; it is not ordinary travel speed. This is editorial advice for evaluating the beta data, not a ranking of races.
First character checklist
- Choose a supported class from the linked roster, then read its talent guide.
- Recheck character-creation options and racial tooltips in the current beta build.
- Record the build and conditions when reporting a change. Starting quests, trainer coordinates, and numerical racial comparisons need their own evidence.
The Priest guide also covers class-specific racial spells. Their race assignments were first observed in the demo and still require current character-creation or spellbook verification. The four general abilities above are not a complete Priest racial spellbook.
