Paladin is the recommended first class on v0.90.0 because it has 245 health, a self-heal, and one free death. That is the azeroth survivors best class for a first run. Hunter is the next forgiving start, with a ranged opening spell and a slightly smaller health pool. Warrior can stand in the pack, but this page does not rank Warrior first. Priest and Warlock begin with the smallest pools, so they need cleaner movement. The comparison table under this paragraph is rendered from the v0.90.0 dataset. It lists every class health value and opening spell. Read the table before you trust a ranking copied from a wiki.
| Class | Health | Opening spell |
