Horde

Orc in WoW Forever

Blizzard's Horde table lists orcs as hunters, mages, rogues, shamans, warlocks, and warriors. Orc mage is one of the six combinations the hero article calls new.

Researched 6 November 2026. Combination facts come from Blizzard’s hero article. Racial numbers are printed only when a source states them, and disagreements are left in place.

  • Rogue — on the Forever table. Not in the named list of new pairings.

Leveling implications that are sourced

Blizzard text If you want an orc mage, that pairing is on the published Horde table. This atlas has no orc starting-zone route, because Blizzard says starting areas changed and no post-launch hand-in order was found for them.

Racial abilities

Not sourced Blizzard says racial abilities were updated and does not print this race’s tooltips in the articles used here. A 5 November 2026 Wowhead guide lists numbers, and the comments on that same guide dispute several of them. Those numbers are not copied onto this page. Classic racial percentages are not used as a substitute.
