Dwarf Race Guide for WoW Forever

The stoic dwarves of Ironforge spent countless generations mining treasures from deep within the earth. Hidden within their impregnable stronghold of Ironforge Mountain, they rarely ventured beyond the wintry peaks of Dun Morogh. Recently however, the dwarves unearthed a series of ruins that held secrets to their ancient heritage. Driven to discover the truth about his people’s fabled origins, the great King Magni Bronzebeard ordered that the dwarves shift their industry from mining to archaeology. As part of the Grand Alliance, the stalwart dwarven armies have been called away to battle the merciless Horde in faraway lands. In these perilous times, the defense of the mountain kingdom falls to brave dwarves like you. The spirits of the ancient kings watch over you, and the very mountains are your strength. The future of your people is in your hands.

FAQAre Dwarves good in WoW Forever?

Dwarves are a decent choice, coming with Stoneform which allows them to remove several debuffs and reduces their Physical damage taken temporarily. On top of that, Mace Specialization grants 1% increased crit chance, helping both healing and damage-dealing Priests.

FAQAre Dwarves still the only Priest race that gets Fear Ward?

No! Fear Ward is now an innate spell that is available to all Priests, no matter the race they choose.

Blizzard's racial re-design philosophy uses four racials per race: two passive effects and two active abilities. The goal is to create a more consistent power level between all races, giving each race its own distinct identity and allowing players to choose the race they like best.

• Stoneform (Active) — Removes and grants immunity to Bleed, Poison, and Disease effects and reduces Physical damage taken by10% for 8-seconds. 3-minute cooldown.
• Find Treasure (Active) — Detects nearby treasure and displays it on the mini-map. Lasts until canceled and can operate alongside other tracking abilities.
• Mace Specialization (Passive) — While wielding a Mace or Two-Handed Mace, increases spell and ability critical strike chance by 1%.
• Big Game Hunter (Passive) — Increases damage dealt to Beasts by 5%.

FAQWhat type of crit chance does Mace Specialization give, and do I need to equip a mace?

All crit chance types have been unified, meaning there is no longer melee crit chance, ranged crit chance, or spell crit chance, and instead only a singular crit chance that boosts everything. You must still wear a mace to gain the benefit.

FAQDoes Stoneform remove existing bleeds, poisons, and diseases and prevent new ones?

Yes, Stoneform removes all Bleeds, Poisons, and Diseases (including most PvE debuffs), and makes you immune to them for 8-seconds.

Priest racials have also been drastically changed in WoW Forever, with each Priest race receiving their own, unique racials for their own individual playstyle.

• Chastise (Active) — Deals Holy damage to the target and immobilizes them for up to 2-seconds. Only works against Humanoids and causes very low threat. 2-minute cooldown.
• Desperate Prayer (Active) — Instantly heals the Priest for a significant amount of Health. 10-minute cooldown.

Dwarves have a mix of offensive, defensive, and utility racials. Mace Specialization increases critical strike chance while wielding Maces or Two-Handed Maces. In WoW Forever, critical strike is a unified stat rather than being separated into melee, ranged, and spell crit, allowing everyone to benefit from this racial. Big Game Hunter increases damage dealt to Beasts, great for specific PvE encounters. Stoneform removes Bleed, Poison, and Disease effects while reducing Physical damage taken; great for tanks, PvP, and certain PvE fight.
