Dwarf
Dwarf appears in the Alliance roster of the pinned Forever preview. This reference summarizes that race’s recorded general racials and class options.[1]
Preview class options
Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Paladin, Shaman.[1]
See Race and class combinations for the distinction between an announced addition, a preview listing, and an unlisted combination.
Recorded racial abilities
These are qualitative summaries of the preview, not final cooldown or tuning tables.[1]
| Ability | Recorded effect |
|---|---|
| Stoneform | Removes Bleeds, Poisons, and Diseases, briefly protects against those effects, and reduces physical damage taken. |
| Find Treasure | Displays nearby treasure on the minimap until cancelled. |
| Mace Specialization | Equipping a mace activates a critical-strike benefit for spells and attacks. |
| Big Game Hunter | Increases damage against Beasts. |
Cleansing and weapon choice
Stoneform removes particular effect types, so identify the debuff before relying on it. Compare the mace racial only while its equipment condition is met. This is editorial advice for evaluating the preview, not a ranking of races.
First character checklist
- Choose a supported class from the linked preview list, then read its talent guide.
- Recheck racial tooltips at character creation and in the spellbook when beta is available.
- Record the build and conditions when reporting a change. Starting quests, trainer coordinates, and numerical racial comparisons need their own evidence.
The Priest preview also has class-specific racial spells. The four general abilities above are not a complete Priest racial spellbook.
