Best race for every class in WoW Forever

Ten races, nine classes, and only one set of racials published so far (the Skyborne). So these picks lean on what is confirmed: faction access, new race and class pairs, and the Skyborne haste racial.

Class	Our top picks	Full piece
Warrior	Windshaper Skyborne, High Order Skyborne	Warrior class page
Paladin	Undead, Human	Paladin class page
Hunter	Windshaper Skyborne, High Order Skyborne	Hunter class page
Rogue	Windshaper Skyborne, High Order Skyborne	Rogue class page
Priest	Gnome, Undead	Priest class page
Shaman	Windshaper Skyborne, Dwarf	Shaman class page
Mage	Orc, High Order Skyborne	Mage class page
Warlock	Troll, Undead	Warlock class page
Druid	Windshaper Skyborne, High Order Skyborne	Druid class page

Three things that decide it right now

1. Faction access. Horde Paladins must be Undead; Alliance Shaman must be Dwarf (Blizzard race table).
2. Skyborne haste. +1% melee, ranged and spell haste on both Skyborne versions (Blizzard).
3. Starting zone. Skyborne start on Zephras Isle (1–12); everyone else starts in their race's usual area.
