If you are about to embark on your first World of Warcraft journey for the first time, then there are all the multiple aspects of the game that you will need to learn, from gold making to PvP, and PvE. It would take an entire encyclopedia just to go into lengths about each of these aspects. For this article though, the emphasis will be on the classes of characters, including their strengths and special abilities.

I’ll talk about the Warrior first. This class gets close to the enemy and dishes out heavy damage. One of their best abilities is the tank role. This role allows them to take damage, and therefore cuts down on the attack to other members of your party.

Next are Paladins. This class can assume different roles as healers, tanks, and dishing out damage. They are also great for applying buffs to ally characters. Buffs are special spells that enhance a character’s stats, such as attack power, magic, and defense.

The next class are Mages. Mages are the spell casters of the game. They specialize in offensive spells that deal a high damage output to the enemy. Spell casting also give the Mages the advantage of attacking at a distance. While Mages benefit from strong spell attacks, they unfortunately have fairly weak armor, which equates to poorer defense.

Hunters are long range specialists and can deal effective damage from afar. This allows them to avoid close quarters combat, and minimize chances of taking damage. Hunters also stand out in that they can have a combat pet by their side. These constant companions can deal additional damage as well as act as tanks.

Priests take on a support role. Judging by their name, you can probably guess that they don’t deal direct attacks to the enemy. Instead they are the healers, and can also neutralize harmful spells inflicted on your allies.

Instead of specializing in a single role, Shamans can be whatever role is needed in the heat of battle. They can switch from healer, to attacker, to casting offensive spells.

Warlocks can call forth on demons to participate in combat. Warlocks also have spell casting abilities which allow them to cast spells that specialize in long term damage, such as poison.

The last class are Rogues. This class is best known for their stealth ability, which allows them to deal close range damage undetected. This trait allows the Rogue to slip in, get the kill, and move back out.

So there it is, the classes you have to choose from in World of Warcraft. With this knowledge in mind, you should have a better idea of which style will best suit your play preference, and stick with that class.

The first thing you need to know about Rogue leveling is how to pick the right stats and why. Agility is top dog, giving the best point for point benefit. Agility provides critical hit rating, raw attack power and some incidental defensive boots to dodge and armor. Next comes Stamina, even the best rogue can’t dodge every hit so you need to be able to take a few and keep on moving. Keeping your weapons and armor current is important, stopping by the local auction house is never a bad way to keep your edge keen. Look for green leather armor and weapons “of the monkey” as they balanced between your two most important stats. Make sure that you choose weapons that reflect the way you prefer to fight, if you are fighting face to face most often then slower harder hitters like swords are best, look for a weapon speed of 2.20 or slower. If you prefer to attack from behind then use daggers so that you can employ back stab.

It is possible to level as any rogue spec(ialization) but certain specs are better suited to some situations than others. Combat spec leveling is widely accepted as the fastest route because it does equally well in most situations and adds some multi target attack utility with blade flurry, multi target damage being the driving force in most leveling dungeon groups. Middle of the road is Assassination, suited to mid-high level characters & perfect for soloing this spec revolves around the use of poisons and stuns, ideal for dealing with single targets quickly, it is also a solid pvp choice. Lastly we have subtly, in terms of leveling this is best left to those who aren’t in a hurry, it revolves around getting the drop on targets with stealth, which while great in pvp is not ideal for your experience points per min.

Unfortunately the lions share of old world quest rewards quite frankly suck making buying greens every ten to fifteen levels necessary. Picking your server (medium or high population servers are the best bet) for a strong auction house and keeping a steady supply of cash is necessary. Luckily making gold in WoW as you level is easy, just pick up the skinning profession early and sell full stacks of leather acquired from animals you kill in the normal progress of your questing. A great side note too, skinning provides a passive boost to your chance to crit, making it the best Rouge leveling profession in the game. Another great tip is to sell cloth you don’t need for your first aid on the ah in full stacks, often higher level players will pay a premium for low end materials when they need it. Just make sure you price reasonably, try to take five silver off your lowest competitor to ensure fast sales.

There are many ways to gain valuable experience in WoW, and some are quicker than others. If you are able to find a leveling guild with people interested in running with you than dungeons are by far the fastest experience generators. Instance leveling can be slow though if you don’t have the right connections but don’t worry on it too much, questing can be just as effective, but you have to know how to pick your quests. Some quests send you on a wild goose chase running from zone to zone delivering things or talking to NPCs unless you are very interested in the story line of the quest then you should avoid these time wasters. Second worst are the complicated item collection quests, if you need to get more than two items then you might end up wasting time waiting for drops that could be better spend elsewhere; you don’t need to ignore these entirely just do them last. Last but not least is the best quest for speed leveling, the hunting quest, where an NPC will send you after a certain number of targets and then offer a reward on completion. Hunting quests are your best bet for gaining quick levels.

Occasional 5man instances will help you by giving you quality equipment when you join them with the new dungeon finder. An additional though minor source of experience is fighting in the various organized battlegrounds though the experience is slow PvP helps to build a solid understanding of how your class handles under pressure. Join in the later half of each level bracket so you don’t get rocked though. (Levels that end in 8/9 for example) Last thing to cover is when you should grind. When you end the quests in the area but aren’t quite the level for the next quest area. Your best bet is to find a secluded group of monsters around yellow difficulty and grind until you level them down to green difficulty

There is no hard and fast rule, often times it is as simple as walking down the road into the next zone but if you are confused as to where the next quest hub is don’t hesitate to ask your allies. Most players are all to happy to show off their knowledge of the game and will happily point you in the right direction. Your world map (press M) and your quest helper also work in tandem to direct you do the right fights. A good rule of thumb though is that if the enemies are appearing to you as orange or red, then you should head back the way you came and return when you are stronger. Miss rates and heavy hits make questing and leveling against orange level or harder targets a poor use of time.

The truth is there is no one class that is better than the rest. Each class has abilities and talents that are good in certain situations.

I like the WoW hunter class. They are not the up front action class such as the Rogue or Warrior class. They are excellent on solo quests as well as pull extremely well.

These particular skills are not used much during group activities.

In PVP the Hunter class does well against Rogues but Druids can be difficult. The thing about PVP is that you will get better with practice. The truth is that no one is going to be able to tell you what works.

One move that they can do is called the jump shot. This is accomplished when outrunning an opponent. When running they will jump and turn 90 degrees then fire and resume running. Sounds cool right, your timing has to be perfect. Well not perfect but really good as it involves using the mouse and keyboard controls in an organized fashion.

Until you master the jump shot just use strafe fire since this does not slow you down.

The Hunter’s main function in a group is to just stand in the back and deal out as much damage as you can as quickly as possible. There are a more jobs that your good at but 9 times out of 10 that is what your group will want you to do.

Hunter’s can also lay down freeze traps. The wonderful thing about freeze traps is they work on every creature in the game. It freezes the first creature that it comes in contact with.

Hunter’s are also good at pull. Take one creature out of the fight with a freeze trap then use Hunters Mark on another and watch them go at it.

Hunters have Scouting ability. They can know if an opponent is close without actually seeing it.

These are just some of the abilities and skills of the WoW hunter class.

I’ve been playing World of Warcraft for a few years now and I enjoy the WoW Hunter class. In my humble opinion(and it is very humble) it is the best class in WoW. Click here for more Free information on the WoW Hunter class.
