Key art from Blizzard's Forever announcement.
What the announcement didn't say
- The Skyborne are two races, not one
- The client ships High Order Skyborne and Windshaper Skyborne as separate playable races (IDs 95 and 96). Blizzard's announcement only ever described one.
- Undead can be Paladins
- Undead picks up 6 classes — and Paladin is one of them. That single line has spawned a 14,000-view forum thread.
- Paladins are down to three races
- Human, Dwarf, Undead. That's it. Druids get four, and two of them are the Skyborne.
