What changed for trolls since Classic?

Trolls lose Bow Specialization and Throwing Specialization and gain Rapid Regeneration, an active trait that restores 50% of maximum health over 6 seconds if you stay still and are not hit. Berserking is now a flat 10% casting and attack speed for 10 seconds, where Classic Era gave 10% to 30% depending on missing health. Regeneration doubles both values: 20% faster health regeneration, 20% of it kept in combat. Beast Slaying works as before.

Where do trolls start in WoW Forever?

Trolls start in Durotar, as in Classic: Blizzard keeps the original starting zones and adds new characters, quests, profession hooks and recipes to them. The Group Finder of the beta lists it for levels 1 to 14. They share it with orcs. Our leveling tool then shows which zones and dungeons fit each level.

Which priest racial spells do trolls get?

Troll priests keep Hex of Weakness from level 10 and Shadowguard from level 20, both unchanged according to Blizzard.
