NaRcOtIcS' Class Guides-Shaman

[NaRcOtIcS]

Hello Everyone, I've decided to make a decent guide on every class, all 9, except for Deathknights. I will also NOT include any WoTLK Abilities.

So, What Is The Shaman?

A: The shaman is a versatile class, capable of filling many roles for raids, or parties. While it can cast powerful bolts and use totems for buffs, it can also use powerful enchanted weapons to it's advantage. However, due to this immense versatility, the shaman has no specific power that can be used. shamans are versatile at low levels, and slowly become more focused on one build than versatility, as well as becoming stronger is that build.

2-So, What About Talents And Starting Off?

A-Simple, create a shaman in-game and start with your local quests, and soon you should move-on with talents There are Restoration, Elemental and Enhancement. Restoration comes to the aid of your party/raid members, Enhancement is used mainly for big buffs, and the Elemental tree is used mainly for damage and debuffing.
You can see builds for each talent at: WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft

3-What Can A shaman Do Besides General Things Like Casting?

A-Well, the shaman can lay down powerful totems, and if you can play right make macros to coordinate any situation with this unique ability. In

4-How About PvP And Raids?

A-In PvP, a shaman usually uses some kind of haste if they are Elemental, and use Frost Shock to keep melee classes slowed down while they themselves cast, Flame Shock for Rogues to keep them out of stealth, and Earth Shock silences mages and spellcasters. Apart from that, a strategy for the Elemental shaman can be simple-just use lightning bolt and Chain Lightning. In enhancement, use your buffs, especially Windfury on your weapons ( I prefer dual-wield ) and make sure you have enchants. Use Ghost World to get close to an enemy and strike them with your weapons, using an occasional Lightning Bolt and Shock when needed. Restoration shammys are just like elemental shamans, except they use less mana and tend to heal more than they do damage.

Does Being A Certain Spec Mean Anything, Does It Mean I can't Heal Decently Without Being Specced As Resoration

A-While specs are very important in order to increase crit chances, healing, or reduce casting time, you will still be able to heal without a certain spec. However, I highly do not recommend this.

6-What Are A shaman's Main Attributes?

A-A shaman's attributes are primarily Intellect,Spirit and Stamina. This is my recommendation, as well as having high healing and spelldamage. Never ever focus gems on a particular attribute, you should preferably have it widespread. You won't regret it.

7-How Much Skill Does It Take To Play A shaman?

A-Well, in all honesty, not much. But you need to know when you lay your totems and what kind as well as what spells to cast for different enemy classes.

This was basically just an introduction to shamans, and not a full guide. I hope it helped you

Welcome to My Guide, about the Mage Class in World Of Warcraft

1-What Is The mage?

A-The mage is a fragile, primary damage dealing cloth wearing spell caster, the mage is renowned for it's crazy ability to, "nuke". Nuking is the process of causing high direct damage via spells. The mage is highly susceptible to melee combat, and it possess many crowd controlling and escaping abilities to prevent a melee class to come close. However, mages are TOAST for rogues.

2-What Can You Tell Me About Talents?

A- A mage has 3 talent builds, just like every other class. These builds are Frost, Fire and Arcane. Each focus on damage dealing, as that is what the mage is all about, as well as control. Fire focuses mainly on good combos and high nuking, but slow casts. Frost focuses on excellent impairment of enemies, crowd control, and requires a well coordinated combination of attacks. Arcane is the enhancement build, usually to dispel enemy buffs and heighten the power of your own. It can also be used to silence and is the best crowd control build.

What Can A mage Do Besides PvP,CC and Nuke?

A- A mage can open mystical portals from the Twisting Nether to teleport anywhere in the world, as well as make food and water for his/her allies to eat and drink.

4-Can I Play Frost While I'm Specced For Fire, and Vice Versa?

A- You can try, but you will evidently fail because you are missing many many[color="Red"]many[color="Red"] abilities, some of witch are 100% essential to survival and control.

5-Just How Fragile Are mages?

A-With just, oh, perhaps 1.6k armor at most, very fragile. A mage will be dead within 2 shakes of a lamb's tail if encountered by a primarily melee class.

6- How Much Skill Does It Take To Play A mage?

A-Lots my friends, all I can say is it takes lots of skill to play a mage, and little skill for a rogue to kill you.

7-What Are A mage's Primary Attributes?

A-A mage's primary attributes are: Intellect,Spirit and, to an extent, Stamina.

Overall, the mage is a class of extreme control and epic power, if you pick it, be ready for anything!

My Class Guide, What Class is it this Time, the Hunter, of Course!

1-What Is The hunter?

A: The hunter is a class that excels in high survivability, control, barrages of dps, can provide a group with an excellent dps/tank/crowd control unit, and it's abilities include: Traps to induce CC, intense dps with arrows, CC with dazing shots and poisoned arrows, as well as a pet to take care of and hold aggro!

2-The Talents Please?

A-The Hunter has 3 talents, Beast Mastery, Survivability, and Marksmanship. Beastmastery is intended to help the pet by adding dps, health and other things as well as buffing the hunter himself. Survivability is self explanatory, it helps by giving health and a bit more power as well as improving abilities. Lastly, marksmanship. Marksmanship is used to make your arrows stronger, stuns last longer and traps more effective.
A hunter usually focuses on one talent, and one only. A hunter is never without a pet, and pets are a hunter's best friend, and some say, their only friends.

How About Raids and PvP?

A: A hunter is an excellent DPS dealer while his/her pet can help the tank hold aggro, and it can provide some crowd control using his traps and various abilties, a hunter is great for raids.
As for PvP, it takes lots, and I mean LOTS of skill to play one in PvP. With a high critical strike rating, you should be able to dish out damage easily though, and high stamina is a must too. Along with Auto Shot and Steady Shot, as well as stings and Concussive Shot, a Hunter can deal massive DPS to an enemy, regardless of what type of armor they wear.

What Can a hunter Do Besides Lay Traps and Have a Tank Hold Aggro?

A- Hunters can track enemy monsters using tracking skills and unstealth rogues using flare, as well as seeing through their pets eyes, and using a spell that makes you see a chosen area up-close from 5000 feet away :O.

6-What Are a hunter's Attributes?

A-Agility,Stamina and Intellect/Spirit are a hunter's main attributes.

How Much Skill Does It Take to Play a hunter?

A-Alot of skill, but no matter how much it takes the hunter is a very very successful class and very fun as well. In PvP they can defeat people 3v1 but it takes skills. Lots.

I hope you enjoyed, and learned something from my Hunter, "guide."

The Paladin, a plate wearing holy class!

1-What is The paladin?

A- The Paladin is a holy warrior that hates and purges all evils from the land. He is armoured is heavy, sturdy plate and can stun and, "judge" foes from metres away as well as having a immense weapon on his shoulders.

What Are The paladin's talent trees?

A-The Talent Trees for a paladin are, "Holy" "Protection" and "Retribution". These are often nicknamed, Shockadin ( Holy ), Protpally ( Protection ) and Skilladin ( Retribution ). The Ret build is praised for it's high PvP skill and power. Protection is used by groups and raids as a tanking build, and holy is used to heal.

What Can The paladin Do?

A-The Paladin, as said above, can tank, heal, PvP. They can also buff friendly targets to the brink of saying, "Dude, stop, I can't see my screen, too many buffs". They are considered the best buffers in the game. The paladin also has a shield to protect him from all harms way, and he can, "judge" enemies from afar causing damage. This comes from seals, each having a different ability and, "judged" ( the ability that comes from using, "Judgment".

How Well Can A paladin Deliver DPS, or Healing?

A-To be honest, while he can do all these things, none of them are remarkable. DPS is slow, unless, "Avenging Wrath" is activated and healing is alright, protection is decent, but not as good as a warrior's. However, you get to do all 3 so it is a price to pay.

How Much Skill Does It Take to Play a paladin?

A-It really depends on what your build is. Tanking is easy, while PvP is hard and healing with a paladin is also hard.

6-
