TomTom's Guide to WoW Class Talents

[TomTom]

I'm not going to go too far in depth with this guide, but it should be a good start for those who are just starting.


Druid:
The Druid is the all rounder type class. They are able to DPS through Balance talents or Cat Feral talents, Tank with the most HP through Bear / Dire Bear Feral talents, and heal through Restoration.

Hunter:
The Hunter is a basic ranged DPS with a pet. Where ever you put points it will be to increase either your damage or your pets. Tame new pets so that you can teach your main pet new skills.

Mage:
The Mage is your basic spell caster. All talent trees are about damage. All trees have talents that increase other spells (minor) and increases the specifics more.

Paladin:
The Paladin is another hybrid class like the Druid. They are the best single target healer in the game through Holy talents, able to tank 4-5 enemies (yes, I do it all the time), and DPS through the Retribution tree.

Priest:
The Priest is the strongest support class in the game. You have the strongest heals (Holy), you can increase health and cast shields through the Discipline tree, or you can greatly increase your parties mana regen with your shadow buffs and debuffs.

Rogue:
As a Rogue your job is to stab, stab and stab. Unless you go into the Combat tree for swords or overpower mace. Surprise attack your foes with the Subtlety tree or improve your combo's with Assassination tree.

Shaman:
The last hybrid is the Shaman. This is the class I originally played and gets hit with more nerf bats than a little league team. They are the best group healers through the mighty Chain Heal. Or you can melee DPS and support other melee classes through Enhancement. And lastly you can play Mage with the Elemental tree.

Warlock:
The Warlock is a cross between Mage and Hunter. You get the Spells and the Pet. You can go Damage over Time with Affliction, or increase your Pets stats with Demonology, or you can make things explode with the Destruction Tree.

Warrior:
The last class is the Warrior. He can't get supper HP like a Bear Druid and he can't tank multiple foes like the Paladin...however he takes the least amount of physical damage from every source through his Protection Tree. He can duel wield with the Fury Talents or wield a huge 2 hander with the Arms Talents.

It's absolutely the hardest thing to figure out when you first start (which sucks because you have to spend Gold (1g for first and every 5g intervals after) to redue it if you screw up.

Here's how it works. At level 10 you get your first point and every level from then on you will get 1 point every level up. Every 5 points you put into your tree gives you the ability to "move up" within that tree.

if a town is too crowed for you move to another one *i went from undercity to orc main city due to the fact i hate being near the alliance

[ascot]

Friend told me to make a hunter, so I'll be a bloody elf huntress (female hunter? XD)! And I'll get some cool pet -^^-

[Slayer]

EDIT: ok i finally learned that hunters can catch sorta uncommon monsters

this is on wowstorm btw

[Guhosutsubenu]

im gona be a druid, a friend of mine helped me on a good build
so i know what talents to take =D
yay for that ! ;p

[Saxire]

So tom tom,can you tell me what build to get? o.o
Since i havent really done much ,i dont have anythin to redo

[Yahoo]

What talents for warrior?
That depends...
If you want to use dual wield (weapon in both hands), then fury and if you want to use 2-handed weapon, then arms. And if you want to tank... Then protection
Take arms or fury for lvling. Whichever you like better

[Saxire]

I made warrior coz i wanted to be tank,but i cant be tank while lvlin..so ill take arms or fury, donno which is better

Any1 any suggestions ? o.o

[Yahoo]

Its mostly to your liking
If you want to use two one-handed weapons, fury and if you want to use 2-handed weapon, arms.
Info:
Dual wield (two weapons, fury talents): Fast attacking but not so huge damage.
2-handed weapons (2-handed weapon, arms talents): Slow attacking but huge damage with each hit.
There is a bit information, tell me if you didnt understand xD

Arms a bit more to pvp but works in lvling too
(I used arms since it was cool to hit so much with every hit )

[Slayer]

you learn what talents you like moree as you play
