WoW Forever Night Elf Race

Night Elves gain Elune's Light, a 15-second burst of critical strike chance, next to the Shadowmeld they always had. Like the Tauren, they keep exactly the classes they had in Classic.

Racials below come from a community calculator and are checked against BlizzCon demo reports; each one carries its own label and sources.
