DPS may be a little low - armour sounds about right though (always good to have a look in the AH and see whats available for your level).

my quick guide:

damage dealing:
mage
hunter

no point picking any other cause you wont be able to keep up even if you have the same gear as them.

healing:
shaman (have a resto myself and they are average)

tanking: (warrior is always going to get picked above the other 2)
warrior
druid
paladin

lol, resto shamans average? sorry but that is just pure bs.
and various tanks are good at various roles, there is no best tank.

if i were levelling a new character, i would be choosing a hybrid.
paladin/druid/shaman as they have multiple uses if you changed their talent points. and this will be great when the duel talent specs come into the game.

Resto shamans at level 80 are actually quite average, he's not wrong. They were a powerhouse at level 70, not anymore.

Info overload, i just wanna play the game and have some fun with all you lot.

Whats a retribution paladin?

When you get to level 9 you have talent points (one per level - making 71 max). You can put these points into 3 different areas for each class of character.

For Paladins you have Holy, Protection or Retribution. Depending on how you want to play depends on your build. Personally I went with protection as it meant I could heal myself and have better buffs. Basically so I was self reliant rather than waiting for groups to do stuff.

If you have a look here:

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/paladin/talents.html

You can then add your points to the above tree and see how it pans out (so you can experiment a little with builds) I'd also say don't put points in all three trees as this will make you very underpowered. Stick to a tree and then add points to the others once you're higher level and have every skill you want in your chosen tree.

I always love druid healers for the hots!

Regarding dps my mate has saw 7odd K attack power in naxx 25 and tops the dps with 3500dps. The next below him in damage was a fury warrior.

Some tanks are better for specific bosses. Druid tanks for out and out HP,druid tank in my guild had over 40k raid buffed! I got two hit in naxx for 19k and 16k,a druid would have survived that as would a better geared MT.

Palas are pretty amazing tanks aswell.

At the cost of hijacking the thread (sorry!)

Is there room for one more at your guild? Ive dabbled in WoW a couple of times but never been over level 22 or so (sucks, I know) But I think If I had a guild I would be a bit more dedicated (plus id have some experienced players help)

I just need to reinstall

sure, we are in need of rogues and shamans specifically......however we are short on everything but mages.

Ive just bought the following:
World Of Warcraft Battle Chest
Wrath Of The Lich King+ Guide

Im doomed now

As a newish starter, i have played a bit of the game had a guest pass, where should i begin, heres some questions:

1. What server? I like the idea of pvp so maybe something like that.

2. Whats the best race and funnest class?

3. Ive completed warcraft 3 and expansion pack, i really enjoyed there story, does WOW carry on from that? I would like to fight Arthas which i think is something to do with the latest expansion pack.

4. Will i be given a months free trial, or even more cause im getting all the expansion packs aswell?

5. Anything else i should know about, apart from this game could ruin your life

Im taking a break from WoW for a few months personally as i need a break from all the class"A"holes on my server, you know the ones i mean, the people that put the tripple dot ... after everything they say and never stop saying noob or lol, kinda sad and very annoying.

Yup, was same for me. I installed from an original game box, many gigs of updates and hours later, thoroughly enjoying it though. You can contact me in game for a guild invite, Aredhal on the Moonglade server

The best looking gnome on the server

hi mate, I will, The patch was going at 20kbs sometimes smaller, so I found a file uploaded onto another site and im going from 2.4.3-3.0.1 and then getting the 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 patch, i dont have the newest expansion yet will that matter? if not I can go out and buy it as im not short on cash

Dicehunter · 5 Jan 2009 at 00:16

OR you could just download the client from the actual wow site, it downloads the whole game and all the patches for you, it takes a LOT less time than doing it from the unpatched disc version.

Voltage · 5 Jan 2009 at 00:27

if you are thinking about joining the OCUK Alliance guild, please refer to the official thread. We have a list of what classes/specs we still need on there.
