The Classes of World of Warcraft

A class is the primary adventuring style of a player character. A character's class determines the abilities and skills they will gain throughout their adventures, and consequently the styles of play available to the character. It determines the types of weapons and armor they can use, which attributes they will value (and how those attributes function), as well as what combat roles the character is suitable for.

You should try to choose a class that's capable of fulfilling the role/s you find appealing. For instance, if you like helping others, supporting the team, and keeping others alive, you might want to choose a class with healing capabilities. If leading the party into battle and protecting your allies by taking the brunt of enemies' attacks is your thing, then you might want to choose a class that is capable of tanking. If you'd prefer to be the one dishing out the damage, you might consider whether you want to be standing toe-to-toe with your enemies, or smiting them from afar.

The table below shows the different classes that you can play, their specializations, which roles they can take, and which races those classes are available on play.
