  • Tricks and Skills in World of Warcraft

    By Leo Jiang2017-01-11

    In the first place World of Warcraft is a pretty basic game. Generally to say, do damage to enemies is the key point. Choose a class fantasy that fits what you like in role play games. Then you will learn more about this in the years ahead.

     

    Go over to the exclamation marks around you (Quests), accept them, read them, look at the map (M), go to the marker indicated and kill/collect/whatever the quest is having you do. Return to the place where you got the quest (Yellow question mark means turn in, gray means uncompleted but in your log). You learn about the lore through questing a little bit, but if you want big pictures or an npc mentions "Old gods" or something like that, go to pedia and research it if it interests you. The rest will come through asking questions.

    There are three types of classes in the world: 

    Tanks, DPS, and Healers. These are called Roles:

    Tanks protect people while holding the boss' attention.

    DPS (damage per second) put the hurt on the boss, good dps means the boss dies quicker. DPS are broken down into Range DPS and Melee DPS.

    Healers restore the health of players that take damage from the boss/spells.

     

    Class Details (IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE INFORMATION, look up each class and read about them on pedia or world of warcraft head. They are all cool in their own way.)

     

    Specs: Each class has 3 Specs (Specializations), with two exceptions, Druids have 4, and demon hunters have 2. You can switch between specs fluidly, and specs will have an assigned role to them (tank, dps, and healer).

     

    Each class wears different kinds of gear is another note to make. There are four types of gear: Plate (heaviest, strongest), Mail (lighter, but still bulky), Leather (good for mobility), Cloth (lightweight, imbued with magical powers).

     

    Plate Wearers

    WARRIORS can tank or melee DPS. They are the class that is hard to kill and their fantasy is the tip of the spear. Arms Warrior (Melee DPS) is a 1 two hander dps spec.

     

    Protection warriors (tanks) carry shields and 1 handed weapons (swords, axes, maces). Fury Warriors (Melee DPS) are the only class/spec capable of dual wielding (double holding) two 2-handed weapons.

     

    PALADINS can be Tanked, Melee DPS, or Healers. These are warriors of the light. Protection Paladins will be (tanks). They carry one handers and shields like warriors, but they throw their shield like captain America.

     

    Retribution paladins (Melee DPS) wield 2 handed weapons. They use a variety of spells to judge their enemies and exorcise demons. Holy Paladins are (Healers) and cleanse folks. They heal allies and do a bit of damage. They carry around a tome full of holy spells.

    Mail Wearers

    This is a class that is pure dps. Survival Hunters (melee DPS) Use 2 handed weapons, usually spears, to attack enemies. HUNTERS are a mixture of ranged and melee dps that befriend the animal creatures throughout the world to ally with them.

     

    Marksmanship hunters (range dps) are crack shots. They use rifles and bows to attack. Beast Mastery Hunters (Range dps) focus on the bond between your pet. You still have a gun/bow to attack with, but you command your pet to do damage with you.

    MONKS (tank, melee, and healer) are the kungfu, nomadic, peaceful, Chi wielders. Brewmaster (tanks) are drunken masters of kungfu. They bob and weave incoherently to dodge attacks and store damage that needs to be drunk away. Windwalker monks (melee dps) are quick fisted, lightning fast damage dealers. Mistweaver monks (healers) use chi, tea, and life energy to mend allies.

     

    DEMON HUNTERS (tank and dps) are the fight fire with fire (figuratively) class. They took in the powers of demons to fight demons.

    Cloth Wearers

    PRIESTS (healers, range dps) are light wielding when holy and discipline, and darkness insanity wielding when shadow.

Frost Mages (Range dps) call upon frozen water. Arcane Mages (range dps) call upon magical powers. Fire Mages (range dps) use the power of fire to deal damage to enemies.

     

    Creatures do damage in a variety of ways in this world:

    There is AOE Damage (Area of Effect), which is usually in the form of a fire on the ground or a spell. There is Physical Damage when taking direct hits from a creature. There is DoT damage (damage over time) where a target will cut you deep and you bleed, or something corrupts you into taking damage over time, or something inflicts you with a disease or poison. Some classes have spells that will "Cure" or "Cleanse" these, while other ways of avoiding this kind of damage is just staying out of the puddles on the ground during a boss fight. Each fight is different in ways, but can be broken down into simple mechanics.
