What Blizzard confirmed
- The starting experience covers levels 1–12 on Zephras Isle.
- Windshaper Skyborne join the Horde; High Order Skyborne join the Alliance.
- Both paths can play Druid, Hunter, Rogue, and Warrior.
- Shaman is Horde-only and Mage is Alliance-only for the announced Skyborne options.
Why this matters for players
Choose the Skyborne path with both faction and class access in mind. A player who wants Shaman must take the Horde Windshaper path; a player who wants Mage must take the Alliance High Order path, while the four shared classes remain available to either.
