Shaman is our top Dwarf pick in WoW Forever at S tier, on grades as of November 7, 2026. Pick a class to see which parts of the Dwarf kit it uses and what they do for it.
Every Dwarf class uses Artisan's Precision, Find Treasure and Stoneform. Big Game Hunter works in one situation.

Two you press, two are always on. Each card says where the trait matters most.
Stoneform
ActiveCombat
Instantly removes and grants immunity to all Bleed, Poison, and Disease effects, and reduces all Physical damage taken by 10% for 8 sec.
Cooldown3 minDuration8 sec
Save it for when a Bleed, Poison or Disease is wearing you down: one press clears them, blocks new ones and softens Physical hits while it lasts.
Artisan's Precision
PassiveCombat
Increases your chance to hit with all spells and attacks by 1%.
Your critical strike bonus to damage and healing goes up, so your crits hit harder and heal for more. The more often you crit, the more it gives.
Find Treasure
ActiveUtility
Allows the dwarf to sense nearby treasure, making it appear on the minimap and sometimes increase treasure found. Lasts until cancelled.
Switch it on as you head out and leave it running, since it lasts until cancelled, then watch the minimap for nearby treasure.
Big Game Hunter
PassiveCombat
Damage dealt versus Beasts increased by 5%.
It only counts when the target is a Beast, so enjoy the extra damage in those fights and don't plan a build around it.
Dwarf Paladin and Priest spells
Dwarf Paladins and Priests train five spells no other Dwarf can: two for Paladins and three for Priests.
Summon Charger
HolyPaladinSummons a Charger, which serves as a mount.
Use: The Charger arrives after a short cast, so summon it while things are quiet rather than counting on it to carry you out of a fight.
Summon Warhorse
HolyPaladinSummons a warhorse, which serves as a mount.
Use: Calling your warhorse costs mana and takes a cast, so start it as a fight wraps up and you can ride off once it appears.
Chastise
5 ranksHolyPriestChastise the target, causing 46 Holy damage and immobilizing them for up to 2 sec. Only works against Humanoids. This spell causes very low threat.
Use: It only works on Humanoids: pin one in place for a moment while you back off, knowing the spell itself causes very low threat.
Desperate Prayer
7 ranksHolyPriestInstantly heals the caster for 149.
Use: It heals only you and lands instantly, so keep it for the moment your own health drops fast and there is no time to cast a normal heal.
Secrets of the Light
PriestAllows you to meditate on the mysteries of the Light in holy places.
Use: This passive lets you meditate on the mysteries of the Light in holy places, so take note of any holy place you pass on your travels.
