Which classes can WoW Forever Skyborne play?

The Skyborne class list is decided by the faction you pick at character creation. Warrior, Hunter, Rogue and Druid are available to both sides. The Horde Windshaper path adds Shaman; the Alliance High Order path adds Mage. That is the exact split Blizzard published.

Shaman or Mage — which faction should you pick?

If your class is the deciding factor, the choice is simple: play Horde to be a Skyborne Shaman, or Alliance to be a Skyborne Mage. If you want Druid, Hunter, Rogue or Warrior, either faction works and the racial differ only slightly — see the faction-exclusive actives on Skyborne racials. Whatever you choose, confirm with friends first; the faction decision is made at character creation.
