Classic Classes Enhanced

The mountain kings, or thanes as they are known in Khaz Modan, are the mightiest dwarven warriors under the mountain. Wielding warhammers, hand axes, and shields, these fierce fighters live to test themselves against worthy opponents. Unconcerned with their race's preoccupation with mechanical devices and mining precious minerals, Mountain Kings live only for battle.

In this time of conflict, members of both genders take up sword and axe and shield and march to the frontlines. However, due to a long tradition, more men than women become soldiers. As conflicts continue, men become noticeably scarcer in Stormwind, Ironforge, and other Alliance cities.

Brewmasters (also known as brewmeister or brewmaiden) are masters of crafting drinks and concoctions that grant special abilities to themselves and others. As sturdy brawlers who use liquid fortification and unpredictable movement to avoid damage and protect allies, they may seem to struggle with balance as they chug their concoctions in the middle of a fight, but this unpredictable behavior is far from foolhardiness. Brewmasters combine martial prowess with brewing mastery.

Runemasters are monk-like melee fighters who draw upon the primal energies of the land, inscribing runes of power onto their flesh and weapons. The runemaster is a free spirit, more at home in the wild than in the city. Runemasters reject heavy armor and defensive stances, believing that hesitation dishonors the ancestors.

Troll berserkers are fearsome warriors who enter frenzied rages in battle, hacking through enemies with twin axes while hurling throwing weapons at distant foes. Berserkers fight with extreme ferocity and little regard for self-preservation. They are known for their strength, aggressive behavior in battle, and, sometimes, fighting with little to no armor.

In the orc society, blademasters are known as legendary warriors of the Burning Blade clan. Sticky, smelly, and highly flammable, blazegrease is liberally applied to the swords and axes of the Burning Blade clan before battle. Though some warriors choose to ignite their weapons before battle, most let the inevitable contact of blades and armor spark the blazegrease for unpredictable intimidation.

Braves are the frontline defenders of the tauren people, warriors who have proven their courage through rites of passage on the open plains of Mulgore. Armed with polearms and wearing war harnesses instead of heavy plate, they embody the martial traditions of the Horde's most honorable race. A brave fights not for glory but for the safety of the tribe, standing firm against quilboar, centaur, and any who threaten the grasslands.

Tinkers are gnomish combat engineers who take their inventions into the field. Armed with maces and guns of their own design, they wear an ever-evolving array of goggles and deploy experimental gadgets like discombobulator rays in the heat of battle. Tinkers believe that any problem can be solved with the right gadget, and if the gadget explodes, well, that just means it needs more testing.

Barbarians are fierce and primal warriors embodying strength and tribal instincts in battle. They are uncivilized and brutal, relying on anger and raw physical might instead of tactics or fancy swordsmanship. Their rage is frightening to behold, and it allows them to smash apart his enemies while ignoring all but the most brutal blows.

Subterranean realms demand a different sort of scout. Prospectors focus their efforts on the dark, enclosed places underground, which allows them to triumph in all dungeonlike areas. They wander the world searching for untapped veins of ore.

Buccaneers are seafaring combatants who sail between ports, taming jungle beasts and wielding guns alongside rapiers. They live by the pirate's code, answering to no crown, with a parrot on one shoulder and a cutlass in hand. They also love fishing.

Wardens are the elite night elf jailers and hunters who once guarded Illidan Stormrage in his prison beneath Hyjal. When a prisoner escapes, the wardens track them relentlessly across any distance. Masters of subtlety who fight with daggers and thrown weapons, they wear robes and long cloaks as they pursue their quarry.

Demon hunters, the disciples of Illidan Stormrage, uphold a dark legacy, one that frightens their allies and enemies alike. The Illidari embrace fel and chaotic magics — energies that have long threatened the world of Azeroth — believing them necessary to challenge the Burning Legion. They fight against the forces of Chaos using their own terrible powers against it.

Orcs burn their dead. In a world filled with magic, magic insinuates itself in ritual. Founded in the mysteries of certain cults on Draenor, the pyremaster is the enactor of ritual.

Originally created by Gul'dan during the Second War as souls of orc warlocks placed into the bodies of fallen human knights. They command necrotic magic (drain spells), skeletal steeds, and hit with their truncheons.

These insidious magicians were once thought to be aspiring geniuses by the Magocracy of Dalaran. However, their insatiable lust to delve into the secrets of the dark arts drove them to forsake their very souls. Ner'zhul, the Lich King, granted these malevolent sorcerers true power over life in exchange for their loyalty and obedience.

The Druids of the Claw are a clan of druids charged with the protection of Val'sharah from any that would seek to disrupt the balance of nature. Druids of the Claw are masters of their mighty animal forms. When they transform into bears, they become ferocious physical combatants and protectors of nature.

Traditionally, the most well-known dragonsworn are druids in service of Ysera; that is not to say that all druids who walked the Emerald Dream were chosen to serve the green dragonflight, but many were taken into Ysera’s service in the thousands of years they slept. These druid dragonsworn pledge themselves to the dragonflights rather than the Cenarion Circle. They channel nature magic in its purest form, aiding their allies from afar rather than shifting into animal forms.

Ley walkers are druids who study ley lines that crisscross beneath Azeroth's surface. Part druid, part arcanist, they channel the raw magical energy of the world itself through elemental robes of power. Their obsession with intellect and arcane potency sets them apart from traditional druids, walking a path that blurs the line between nature magic and the arcane.

Few forces have devastated the world as badly as plague. The Plaguelands of Lordaeron are a testament to the ravages that disease can bring to the world. After long and careful deliberation the Horde formed a new order of druids, the plagueshifters, who were charged with reclaiming the Plaguelands and other stricken areas.

The most primal of druids, savagekin bear an ancient but obscure legacy. Whereas some druids seek to command nature or bond with it, the savagekin surrenders himself to the natural world, abandoning much of their humanity to live with the beasts. Savagekin are druids who spend most of their time in animal form.

Beastmasters are orc hunters who devote their lives to commanding powerful wild beasts. They reject civilized firearms. Their pets are brothers, not tools — and their death is permanent.

Mountaineers are dwarven rangers using custom-built rifles and massive axes. They are mostly found in Khaz Modan, but they often travel wide and seek out quests that bring glory to Ironforge. They are a prized division of the Ironforge Army, and have fought in many battles.

Elven Rangers of the Night Elves are elite ranged combatants specializing in archery, tracking, and woodland warfare. Turning to nature itself for aid, they possess minor druidic abilities expressed in their traps. They operate as solo, without animal pets.

Wilderness stalkers are troll hunters who survive on instinct alone, drifting through the wild places of Azeroth with no permanent home. They favor thrown weapons and dual axes over bows, tracking prey through jungles and deserts alike. No one can match a wilderness stalker for their ability to survive in harsh environments.

Earthcallers are mighty warrior shamans who embrace the spirits to assist them in battles. They strengthen their spiritual connection until they can feel the spirits of the earth flowing within their body and thoughts, strengthening their arms and quickening their minds. Whispered fragments impart insight into battle as ancestors speak of ways to overcome all foes.

Witch doctors are spellcasters and alchemists. Troll witch doctors utilize voodoo, arcane, shadow and nature magic, while augmenting their abilities with juju, mojo and muisek. Ancestral staves and Rush'kah masks are used by witch doctors to call upon their ancestors and loa.

Spiritwalkers are mystical, white-furred tauren casters who travel far and wide to find kindred spirits. They carry lanterns to light shadowed spirit paths. Believed to be the ill omen of a coming age, white tauren are held in near reverence by their people in Kalimdor, often becoming reclusive shamans.

Some shaman, devote themselves to the warlike aspects inherent in their abilities. They train their bodies and reflexes to focus more on combat. In many ways, these spirit champions are the Horde's answer to paladins, and their enemies nervously finger their blades when they see one in the opposing ranks.

The Scarlet Crusade is a fanatical religious sect dedicated to the eradication of the undead from Lordaeron. Similarly to the Argent Dawn, the Crusade evolved from the Order of the Silver Hand in the aftermath of the Third War. While the Argent Dawn maintained the Silver Hand's original compassionate ideals by welcoming all races to fight the Scourge neutrally, the Scarlet Crusade devolved into a fanatical, xenophobic cult manipulated by outside forces.

Battlefields are bloody places, but they are also the proving grounds of heroes. Among the many legendary feats of bravery are the deeds of the exemplars: men and women who strike fear into the hearts of their enemies through intimidation and demoralization. They also inspire courage in their allies, holding their banners high and charging into battle, shouting encouragement to those who ride beside them.

Templars are a type of paladin combatants. They are not only the most skilled in battle, but also the most righteous in their demeanor. Strength of arms and purity of mind are strict requirements.

The Royal Apothecary Society is an alchemical society created by Lady Sylvanas Windrunner in order to create a new undead plague to wipe out the Scourge. Once based in the Apothecarium in Undercity, its members are all Forsaken or other types of undead beings who are constantly brewing up new plagues and poisons to unleash upon their enemies. The other races of the Horde believe they are working on a remedy to cure their illness.

Shadow hunters are reclusive and wily masters of voodoo and shadow magic and were once the highest authority amongst trolls and their respective warbands. Their spirit powers can both heal and curse, walking the line of dark and light in hope of saving the future of trollkind, doing whatever it takes to secure a future for their kin. The loa can channel themselves through the shadow hunters when they use their ceremonial rush'kah masks.

Lightslayers are Forsaken shadow priests who have fully rejected the Holy Light that sustained them in life. Where other undead priests cling to fading memories of faith, lightslayers embrace the void with fervor, wielding shadow magic and cursed daggers against the living and the Scarlet Crusade alike. They operate in darkness, drawing power from the very absence of light.

Blood mages are blood elves adept at controlling fire magic. While they were still members of the Alliance resistance, the blood elves began to turn to the darkest parts of magic, disregarding the water and frost spells of the Kirin Tor for the fire and heat of what some people fear to be demonic magic. They are master enchanters and travel with phoenix companions.

Techno-mages are arcane scholars who combine their magical knowledge with the use of technology. They are primarily gnomes, and wear advanced goggles that enhance their arcane sight. Following the Battle for Broken Shore, Gnomeregan Mechano-Mages were deployed during the Legion Invasions.

Spellblades are spellcasters who accompany soldiers into the heart of battle. The generations of warfare on Azeroth have given spellblades time to hone useful spells into simple and secret rituals, called battlemagics, which are passed from spellblades to another. They can wield a sword in one hand, and a staff in the other.

Hedge wizards are self-taught troll fire mages who never attended the academies of Dalaran. They learn their craft through trial and error, folklore, and stolen scraps of arcane knowledge. Unable to use arcane spells, they compensate with raw fire magic and cunning.

Masters of frost and fire magic, they wear the distinctive violet robes and circlets of their order while carrying enchanted staves.
