Tauren Race Guide for WoW Forever

Once a nomadic people, the tauren roamed the endless plains of the Barrens, hunting the mighty kodo. Scattered across the land, the wandering tribes were united only by their common hatred for their sworn enemy, the marauding centaur. Seeking aid against the centaur, the great chieftain, Cairne Bloodhoof, befriended the savage orcs, who had recently journeyed to Kalimdor. With the orcs’ help, Cairne and his tribe were able to drive back the centaur and claim the grasslands of Mulgore for their own. Upon the windswept mesa of Thunder Bluff, Cairne built a refuge for his people. Over time, the scattered tribes united under a single banner. Though the noble tauren are peaceful in nature, the rites of the Great Hunt are venerated as the heart of their spiritual culture. As a tribesman of Mulgore, you must test your skills in the wild and prove yourself in the Great Hunt.

FAQAre Tauren good in WoW Forever?

Taurens make for good tanks, having an AoE stun with War Stomp and and additional 5 health via Endurance. These abilities also work well in PvP, making them a great choice for players who primarily tank and enjoy PvPing.

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.

• War Stomp (Active) — Stuns up to 5 enemies within 8-yards for 2-seconds. 0.5-second cast. 1.5-minute cooldown.
• Cultivation (Active) — Can be cast on a nearby Herbalism node, causing a bonus Herbalism node to grow around you. These nodes do not require Herbalism to gather. 15-minute cooldown.
• Plainsrunning (Passive) — Movement speed progressively increases the longer you remain moving, up to 60% increased movement speed.
• Endurance (Passive) — Increases total Health by 5%.

FAQDoes Plainsrunning work in combat or stack with other movement-speed effects?

Yes, Plainsrunning works in combat but the stacks will be lost if you take damage or stop moving. It doesn't stack with other movement speed buffs.

FAQDoes Endurance grant Hit Chance or Crit Damage?

Endurance no longer grants either hit chance or critical strike bonus. Now it only provides the 5% health bonus.

Tauren have racials that are great for PvP, tanks, and open world gathering. Endurance increases total health by 5% and critical strike bonus to damage and healing increased by 2%; the health increase scales with gear, making it an amazing passive for tanks and PvP players. War Stomp stuns nearby enemies, another amazing tanking and PvP skill. Plainsrunning increases movement speed while continuously moving, giving you a way to travel around early on. Cultivation gives you a usable spell that can be activated on a nearby Herb node, spawning a bonus node nearby that can be gathered without Herbalism.
