Orc
Orc appears in the Horde 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, Mage, Rogue, Warlock, Shaman.[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 |
|---|---|
| Blood Fury | Increases Attack Power and Spell Power by 10% for 15 seconds, with a 2-minute cooldown. |
| Shatter Curse | Removes Curses and Banes, grants immunity to them, and reduces magical damage taken by 15% for 8 seconds. Listed cooldown: 3 minutes. |
| Axe Specialization | An equipped axe or two-handed axe grants 1% critical-strike chance to all spells and abilities. |
| Hardiness | Reduces stun duration by 20%. |
Offense and resisting disruption
Check whether the equipped weapon activates Axe Specialization, and distinguish removing a Curse from resisting a later one. A broad offensive racial still needs evaluation for the chosen class and activity. 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.
