Forever update: live fixes and planned tuning

Reviewed November 6, 2026. Forever is live. Released fixes and announced plans are separate below; these highlights are not a performance ranking.

Live fixes (November 6, 2026)

Blizzard corrected Bloom healing, Arcane Blast’s duration and several class tooltips. Voidwalkers gain about 40 base Health; Soul Siphon no longer lets Wrack increase its own damage.

Racial fixes correct excess Orc Command benefit to some Warlock pet abilities. Shadowmelded Druids no longer gain unintended Ravage and Pounce access. The November 5 fixes also prevent Plainsrunning stacks during battleground preparation or while carrying a flag, and clear existing stacks on flag pickup.

Official November 5–6 hotfixes

Planned for November 10, 2026 (not live)

Announced November 6, 2026: Blizzard plans tougher Hunter pets and Voidwalkers, changes to Affliction’s Wrack and damage-over-time balance, and Strength/Attack Power gearing for Enhancement. Leveling Enhancement players are advised to collect that gear now. The tuning is still planned and may change.

Launch foundations

Blizzard’s November 2 launch-preparation notes raised class damage alongside higher-level creature health. A buff alone cannot tell you which class you will enjoy.

  • Skyborne Wind-Blessed now gives 2% Haste. Attuned and Charged enhance their active racial abilities, persist through death, and clear on raid entry.
  • Orc Command boosts Hunter and Warlock pet damage; Dwarves gain Artisan’s Precision. Tauren Endurance is health only.
  • Roleplay-PvP joins Normal, PvP and Roleplay. The quiz can now suggest it when you want both roleplaying and open-world PvP.

Your class profile explains its relevant changes. Quiz scores still reflect your preferences; racial bonuses do not raise them.

NEW IN FOREVER

Six combos the 2004 game never allowed

The original game kept these races and classes apart. Forever doesn’t. (Every Skyborne pairing is new too, since the race itself is.)

FOREVER’S OWN PEOPLE

Meet the Skyborne

Sky elves, new to Forever, descended from the Highborne. The High Order kept the old arcane magic, and the Windshapers made a pact with the wind spirits. Either way, you pick from nine skin tones:

Illustrative palette based on Blizzard’s description, not exact in-game colors.

Then weave feathers into the hair in any color, add body and face tattoos, and pick one of three ear lengths. Skyborne druids get forms of their own.

Skyborne need the Skyborne Heroic Pack or a higher edition. Blizzard’s Skyborne reveal

THE TWO SIDES

Alliance or Horde?

You can only group with your own side, so this one matters if friends are waiting. Otherwise, pick the side whose people you like.

Alliance

For the Alliance

Human knights, dwarf explorers, gnome inventors and night elf sentinels, now joined by the High Order Skyborne. They share a long history, and a longer argument about who’s in charge.

  • Human
  • Dwarf
  • Gnome
  • Night Elf
  • High Order Skyborne

Horde

For the Horde

Orcs, tauren, Darkspear trolls and the Forsaken, now joined by the Windshaper Skyborne. Most of them were outcasts somewhere else first.

  • Orc
  • Tauren
  • Troll
  • Undead
  • Windshaper Skyborne

The quiz never picks a side because of your personality. Your side comes from the race that fits you, or from where your friends already are.

STILL SCROLLING?
