Forsaken Paladin and Dwarf Shaman: Forever's new race and class combinations, with every class revamped

The opening ceremony cinematic showed an Undead Paladin wielding the Light; Blizzard's official page names the combination the Forsaken Paladin and adds a second new pairing, the Dwarf Shaman. Both break rules that held in original World of Warcraft, where Paladins were Alliance only and Shamans Horde only.

The page also states that Forever brings revamps to all classes and specializations, inviting players to rediscover a favourite class or play as someone entirely different. Blizzard has not published the individual class changes; the What's Next panels and Sunday's Deep Dive are where that detail is expected.

For anyone planning a character: the new combinations are part of Forever's base game as described on the page, unlike the Skyborne race, which is tied to the Skyborne Heroic Pack or higher.
