Tauren classes ranked
Druid is our top Tauren pick in WoW Forever at S tier, on grades as of November 7, 2026. Pick a class to see which parts of the Tauren kit it uses and what they do for it.
Every Tauren class uses Cultivation, Endurance, Plainsrunning and War Stomp.
Tauren Druid
Tank · Healer · DamageWhichever role a Druid fills, Endurance adds the health to take hits and War Stomp stuns nearby enemies when a pull goes wrong. Plainsrunning then shortens the walks between quests.
Endurance · More total health whether you are tanking the pull or healing it.
War Stomp · Stuns nearby enemies when a pull slips out of control.
Plainsrunning · Speed that builds on long walks between quest objectives.
Tauren Hunter
DamageEndurance pulls its weight in every Hunter fight by raising total health. War Stomp covers the moments enemies get close, stunning several of them at once.
Endurance · A bigger health pool that helps in every fight.
War Stomp · Stuns enemies that close in on you and buys you some space.
Plainsrunning · Keeps travel quick between quests as long as you keep moving.
Tauren Warrior
Tank · DamageTanking puts the whole pull around you, right where War Stomp reaches, so a single press stuns several enemies at once. Endurance adds health for soaking hits in either role.
War Stomp · A tank has the pull gathered close, so the stun catches several enemies at once.
Endurance · More health for soaking hits in either role.
Plainsrunning · Covers ground faster between pulls the longer you stay on the move.
Tauren Shaman
Healer · DamageShaman healers lean on War Stomp when enemies turn on them, stunning several close by so the pressure lifts for a moment. Endurance adds health in either role.
War Stomp · Stuns several nearby attackers when enemies go after the healer.
Endurance · Extra health for the moments you are the target.
Plainsrunning · Movement speed that builds on the road; damage or standing still wears it down.
Tauren racials
Two you press, two are always on. Each card says where the trait matters most.
War Stomp
ActivePvP
Stuns up to 5 enemies within 8 yds for 2 sec.
Cooldown90 secDuration2 sec
Wait until enemies crowd in close, then stun several of them at once. Use that pause to break away, land a heal or finish off the weakest target.
Endurance
PassiveCombat
Total Health increased by 5%.
Works in the background of every fight, and the larger health pool gives your healer more time to react.
Plainsrunning
PassiveLeveling
Blizzard announced Nov 2 Plainsrunning no longer increases mounted movement speed.
Gain 2% increased movement speed every 5 sec spent moving, up to a maximum of 60% increase. Taking damage or standing still will reduce this effect.
Keep moving between quest objectives and route around enemies where you can, since standing still or taking damage wears the built up speed back down.
Cultivation
ActiveLeveling
Cultivate a nearby herb, growing a duplicate you can harvest without requiring Herbalism skill. Each herb may only be cultivated once.
Cooldown15 min
Use it on herbs you pass while questing and harvest the copy it grows, even with no Herbalism skill. Each herb can be cultivated once, so move on after.
