Dwarf in WoW Classic
Dwarf is a tough and reliable Alliance race. On the WoW Classic X5 realm (1.12.1, x5 rates) dwarves are valued for their durability and a useful active ability that helps in both PvE and PvP.
Racial abilities
- Stoneform — active ability: removes poison, disease and bleed effects and adds armor briefly.
- Gun Specialization — +5 skill with firearms.
- Frost Resistance — +10 frost resistance.
- Find Treasure — shows nearby chests and treasure on the minimap.
Available classes
Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Priest. Dwarves cannot play Mage, Warlock, Druid or Shaman.
Starting zone
You start in the snowy valley of Dun Morogh; the nearby capital is Ironforge, the Alliance's largest hub with a tram to Stormwind.
What matters on x5
Frost resistance and Stoneform make Dwarf handy against mages and in dungeons full of poisons and bleeds. For a Hunter, use guns to benefit from the racial bonus. See the 1–60 leveling guide for a route and the all classes page for an overview.
