Troll classes ranked
Hunter and Warlock are our top Troll picks in WoW Forever at S tier, on grades as of November 7, 2026. Pick a class to see which parts of the Troll kit it uses and what they do for it.
Every Troll class uses Berserking, Rapid Regeneration and Regeneration. Beast Slaying works in one situation.
Troll Hunter
DamageFor a Hunter, Berserking is the headline: a short window of faster attacks to press when a target needs to drop. Rapid Regeneration and Regeneration shorten the pauses to recover health between fights.
Berserking · A burst of faster attacks for the fights that need to end quickly.
Beast Slaying · Extra damage, but only while the target you are fighting is a Beast.
Rapid Regeneration · Refills a large share of your health after a pull if you stand still.
Troll Warlock
DamageA Troll Warlock presses Berserking to speed up spellcasting for a short window when a fight has to end quickly. Regeneration and Rapid Regeneration then handle the health lost along the way, cutting the pauses between fights.
Berserking · Speeds up spellcasting so a fight that cannot drag on ends sooner.
Rapid Regeneration · A large health refill after a fight, as long as you stay still.
Troll Priest
Healer · DamageHex of Weakness and Shadowguard are Priest spells no other Troll learns, one weakening a target enemy, the other striking attackers with Shadow damage. Berserking speeds up your spellcasting when a heal cannot wait.
Hex of Weakness · Lowers an enemy's melee attack power and the effectiveness of any healing.
Shadowguard · Attackers who hit you take Shadow damage, and that damage causes no threat.
Berserking · Quicker casts for a short window when a heal has to land now.
Troll Shaman
Healer · DamageShamans heal and deal damage, and Berserking speeds up both spellcasting and attacks, so it fits either job for a short window. Rapid Regeneration and Regeneration add health recovery as well, which trims the time spent resting.
Berserking · Speeds spellcasting and attacks alike, so it works whether you heal or fight.
Regeneration · Faster health regeneration between fights, with some carried into combat.
Troll Mage
DamageMages get their value from Berserking, which speeds up spellcasting for a short window when you need a target down quickly. Regeneration and Rapid Regeneration restore health, a safety net after a fight goes wrong.
Berserking · Faster spellcasting for a short window when a target has to drop fast.
Rapid Regeneration · Lost health comes back quickly once a fight is over and you stay still.
Troll Rogue
DamageBerserking gives a Rogue a short window of faster attacks to spend on a kill, while Regeneration keeps part of your health recovery running even in combat. Rapid Regeneration covers the refill once the fight ends.
Berserking · A short spurt of faster attacks, ideal when a kill is close.
Regeneration · Part of your health recovery keeps running while you fight.
Rapid Regeneration · Between fights, a quick health refill as long as nothing interrupts it.
Troll Warrior
Tank · DamageWarriors take hits, so Regeneration keeping part of your health recovery running in combat has real value, and Rapid Regeneration refills health once a pull ends. Berserking adds a short window of faster attacks.
Regeneration · Keeps a share of health regeneration going even while you hold a pull.
Berserking · Faster attacks for a short window when a pull needs to end.
Rapid Regeneration · Recovers a big chunk of health between pulls if left uninterrupted.

Two you press, two are always on. Each card says where the trait matters most.
Berserking
ActiveCombat
The in-game text for this trait includes a value this page does not have yet.
Cooldown3 minDuration15 sec
Press it when a fight has to end fast, like a risky pull or a target you need down, because the cooldown is long and a wasted use leaves you without it.
Rapid Regeneration
ActiveLeveling
Regenerate 50% of your maximum Health over 6 sec. Any movement, action, or damage taken will cancel the effect.
Cooldown3 minDuration6 sec
Use it once a pull is over to win back a large share of your health, then hold still until it ends, since movement, any action or damage cancels it.
Regeneration
PassiveLeveling
Health regeneration rate increased by 20%. In addition, 20% of total Health regeneration will continue during combat.
Always on. Health comes back faster between fights and a slice of that regeneration keeps running during combat, so expect shorter pauses to recover.
Beast Slaying
PassiveCombat
Damage dealt versus Beasts increased by 5%.
No button to press: the bonus applies by itself whenever your target is a Beast and adds nothing against any other kind of enemy.
Troll Priest spells
Troll Priests train three spells no other Troll can.
Hex of Weakness
6 ranksShadowWeakens the target enemy, reducing melee attack power by 43 and reducing the effectiveness of any healing by 20%. Lasts 2 min.
Use: Lay it on a melee enemy early: one cast lowers its melee attack power and the effectiveness of any healing for a long stretch.
Secrets of the Loa
Allows you to meditate on the mysteries of the loa at altars.
Use: Nothing to cast. When you come across an altar, this passive is what lets you meditate on the mysteries of the loa there.
Shadowguard
12 ranksShadowThe caster is surrounded by shadows. When a spell, melee or ranged attack hits the caster, the attacker will be struck for 13 Shadow damage. Attackers can only be damaged once every few seconds. This damage causes no threat. 3 charges. Lasts 10 min.
Use: Cast it before a pull. Attackers that hit you take Shadow damage, no more than once every few seconds, until the charges are spent, and it causes no threat.
