Night Elf
Night Elf 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, Druid.[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 |
|---|---|
| Elune's Light | Temporarily increases critical-strike chance for spells and attacks. |
| Shadowmeld | Conceals the character while stationary. The export distinguishes out-of-combat use from a longer-cooldown combat use, and records an additional stealth benefit for Rogues and Druids. |
| Quickness | Adds dodge chance and movement speed. |
| Wisp Spirit | Increases movement speed while dead. |
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 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.
