It’s a shame really, there I was with good rep with Booty Bay and the other Goblin strongholds, and it seems it may have all been for nothing. With the new Warcraft expansion, Cataclysm, the Goblins become a playable race for the horde.

Nothing… is the answer. The Horde Goblins are a schism of the main Goblin race. You will still find your favourite wide grinned cheeky chappies haggling and offering you a lift at all your favourite locations. Personally, I’m glad about this. I have grown to like the Goblin style. It reminds me of “CMOT Dibbler” from Discworld.

So the reasoning behind this split is that a faction of Goblins has been made homeless by attacks from Deathwing (I knew he’d be back). They have been driven to the Lost Isles and into the waiting and welcoming hands of the Horde.

The good news is that in keeping with the opening up of race restrictions, there are plenty of choices for Goblins. Warrior, Warlock, Shaman, Rogue, Priest, Mage and Hunter. The two spiritual classes of Paladin and Shaman are not included. A good choice here I think.

The character models are a total revamp of the existing in-game NPC models. Expect far more detail, and a more sinister outlook all round.

The goblin’s racial abilities are;

Better Living Through Chemistry - 15 point Alchemy boost. Alchemy is the best crafting profession for gold making - mainly because what it makes is consumables. So this fits well with Goblin lore.

Pack Hobgoblin - Amazingly, this perk is the ability to call up a mobile bank and Auction house GUI in the field. To wheel and deal from wherever you are. For gold makers this is an absolutely great perk.

Rocket Barrage - Erm, yes. Fire rockets at your foes. Initially with 30 points damage. We assume this scales with level (otherwise it’ll be pretty useless come level 25)

Rocket Jump - Jump straight into the enemy, a bit like the Warriors “charge” or “Intercept” ability. Again, this seems to lead to the idea of tanking.

Time is Money - A pre calc 1% bonus to attack speed, both casting and melee. Pre cal in good, this means it benefits with every buff you add on top of it

It’s hard to say with so little detail, but to my eye the new Goblin class in Warcraft Cataclysm lends itself to tanking and gold making. The detail is missing though. Cooldowns and threat profile need to be added to what we know so far to be sure of this.

Goblins look to be every bit as exciting as Worgen. Warcraft Cataclysm is shaping up to be a great expansion in principle. Watch this space for more news as it is released.

Have you spent hours playing World of Warcraft and not doing any progress? Want to level up your World of Warcraft character fast? Have you feel like giving up on playing the game?

It is not that world of warcraft is not fun or interesting. The truth is it is one of the most popular games in the world and millions of people have been spending hundreds of hours playing the game. But many people who play the game does not have hundreds of hours to spend on but everyone want to achieve those high levels and get lot of gold.

Just follow these tips that teach you how to start leveling your character.

Know you character

You must really understand your character. Have your talents set for PvP or PvE. Also make sure you know your place in a group (healer, tank, dps). In this way, you will know what gear you need.

Lots of quests

Go and do lot of quests right away. You can level up fast and save time. You can also go and do raid quests. They can give you more experience and gold and some good gear. When you do quests, do it in a specific area

To get more experience, doing quest that are pain of chain quests are useful.

Grind

Well grinding takes some time but if do a quest that needs a item that drops from a mob grid as hell, you will get extra experience when finish the quest. Make sure you grind for mobs that are not 2-3 levels below you or 3-4 levels above you. After all you don’t want to get killed.

Don’t waste time gathering gear

Now the point is to level up faster not. Do not waste time getting that gear for your level. In World of Warcraft you should be worrying about gear at the few highest levels. Even though your gear will be a little weak it should be enough to defeat all those mobs.

Looks aren’t everything, and sometimes it is best to go with function over form. For anyone looking to maximize their potential, picking the best race for mage is of vital importance. Let’s talk about the ups and downs of each race of the Alliance, and figure out the best ones for PvP and PvE.

The first up is of course human. Humans have a few racials worth noting for anyone rolling mage. They get a passive 3% spirit bonus; not great, but still. Every Man for Himself is amazing for PvP, allowing you to equip something other than a PvP trinket. Perception is also great for PvP; busting rogues out of stealth can win fights instantly.

But what about PvE? Every Man for Himself will let you get out of CC and back to DPSing on occasion, but that’s very situational and won’t mean much in the long run. And the 3% Spirit bonus is just laughable. If PvE is all you’re interested in, I’d skip over human.

Next option for potential alliance mages is gnome. Escape Artist is another great PvP racial with limited PvE uses, as is Arcane Resistance…but Expansive Mind is an amazing all-around racial that will impact heavily on both PvE and PvP mages. So gnome is a great all around choice for anyone rolling mage.

Last choice for mage are the infamous blueberries, Draenei. Their HoT racial, Gift of the Naaru, can be handy in PvP and in some situations in PvE; not dying is a great way to improve your DPS. And even if you aren’t in too much risk of dying, taking pressure off overtaxed raid healers can be helpful.

Gift of the Naaru isn’t the big thing on the Draenei racial list though. Heroic Presence, a 1% hit bonus to yourself and your party, is what makes them worth rolling. Missing spells can prove fatal in PvP and gimp DPS in PvE, so being capped is vital…and this talent means you can stat more offensive stats instead of stacking hit. Rounding out their racial list is a 2% shadow resistance, all together making Draenei another good choice for mage.

So everything is a decent option Alliance side…but what is the best race for mage? Well, Human is hands down the best for PvP. High end trinkets are massively powerful, and being able to equip two is just amazing for PvP.

And PvE? Heroic Presence doesn’t stack…so go Draenei only if you know you won’t be partied with other Draenei. Otherwise, roll a gnome and enjoy the massive Intellect bonus from Expansive Mind and you’ll do well for yourself.

I hope this guide has helped you figure out which race to roll for your Alliance mage! I’ll be doing a write-up on Horde races soon, so keep an eye out for that.

So you’re getting ready to roll a mage, or maybe you’re just considering a race change. And rather than go for looks, you want to make sure you are getting the best race possible for mage on Horde side. Well, this is the right place to be. I’ll talk about the benefits each race brings to the table, and help you figure out which is the best race for mage for PvP or PvE.

The first race we’ll discuss is Undead. Undead’s big thing is Will of the Forsaken, which is getting nerfed in 3.3. So Undead are going from top PvP dog to “The guys with the cool cast animation”. Will of the Forsaken will still be useful, but it will pale in comparison to the other racials. And the effect of WotF on PvE is negligible. Skip them if you are wanting to min/max.

Blood elves are the second race we will talk about. Arcane Torrent is the primary racial of note here. For PvP applications, it is one of the better ones around; an extra silence is always a great thing to have. For PvE, the mana regen from Arcane Torrent is great while you are leveling, but at max level you shouldn’t be having mana issues anyways, making it mostly useless.

The last Horde race is the always unpopular Troll. For their big racials they have Da Voodoo Shuffle, a PvP racial that reduces movement impairing effects by 15%, and Berserking. Berserking is probably the best mage racial in the game right now. For PvE, it is the biggest DPS increase you can get from a racial, and for PvP an extra damage cooldown can help you get in that last-second gib before the heals land.

The pecking order of Horde races for Mage is pretty obvious in retrospect. Undead, come 3.3, are mediocre for PvP and continue to be useless for PvE. Blood Elf is, as always, acceptable for PvP and leveling, but lacking in PvE pizazz. And Troll has an enormously powerful racial that benefits both PVPers and PvEers. As hard as it is to believe, Troll is da best.

I’ll wrap this up by reminding you to pick on racials only if you don’t mind the looks of the race. The benefit of a given racial is relatively minuscule; talents, gear, and skill are all infinitely more important. In the end, Blizzard has been working to reduce racials almost since the beginning, with nerfs and the removal of certain class-based racial abilities. It’s only a matter of time before all of them are barely worth noting, so don’t play something you can’t stand for a minor, temporary buff.

There are eight classes for you to choose when you are playing World of Warcraft. The question is how are you going to decide which class that you want to create a character? This is because each class has its own benefits and disadvantages. To pick the best class for your character, you will have to understand each classes in details.

So, the classes available are rogues, warriors, warlocks, hunters, shamans, paladins, priests and mages. Rogues is possibly the best class for some players. The reason is because Rogues kill mob faster than any other classes. As such, you get to level faster.

However, Warriors would be best tanks. Warriors are great in PvP especially if you are a caster. However, they normally kill real slow especially when you are at low levels. So, to kill faster, you will need to level your character to higher levels.

Normally, first character would be a Hunter. Hunters have companion (i.e. pet) and so they hardly die unless if they are being ganked. If you hate dull character, do not pick Hunter as your character class. Personally, I do feel that Hunter is too dull compared to other character classes.

Warlocks are also great for characters because you get pets at different levels. Warlocks are much fun compared to Hunter and kill faster too. They have better DPS pets at different levels so look out for the pets you can get if you pick Warlocks.

Shamans get great DPS class at higher levels. Other than that, Shamans are also great for PvP or PvE. Although you will find that Shamans level slowly and kill rather slow as well but they can heal based on their talent build. This is their specialty.

Being priests, you level slow but there is nothing to be disappointed about after all you need priests to heal everyone in instances. Priests leveling is easy but killing will take a long time. Still, you can cast many healing spells even when you are fighting.

Now that you have known the properties of each character classes, it is time to make your pick based on your interests and goal in playing World of Warcraft.

Paladins are great in almost everything. They are also being feared by most of the other classes. However, if you are a Paladin, you can AoE and stay alive to tell the story. You can DPS and tank while healing at the same time. Paladins are simply powerful in every way.
