Undead Mage in WoW Forever: racials and what changed

Yes, Undead can be a Mage in Forever. It’s a Horde combo, and Cannibalize now helps Mages a lot.

What Undead racials do now

Every race has two active and two passive abilities. Blizzard reshaped the Undead set.

• Will of the Forsaken still removes Charm, Fear and Sleep. It no longer makes you immune to them.
• Cannibalize now restores Mana as well as Health. Blizzard names Mages as a user.
• Underwater Breathing is unchanged.
• Touch of the Grave is new. Your attacks have a chance to drain life from enemies.

Blizzard hasn’t published exact numbers in the sources we use. We won’t guess them.

Is Undead a good Mage?

Cannibalize is the main draw. Mana is a Mage’s limit, so a free refill between fights helps. You need a corpse to use it, so it works best after kills.

Losing the immunity from Will of the Forsaken hurts. You can still break a fear, but you have to press the button. Touch of the Grave is a small bonus for a caster, since it triggers on attacks.

Racials are tuned to be close in power. Pick Undead because you like it, not because it’s a must.
