WoW Classes and their abilities

By Glenn P Griffin


If you are a World of Warcraft newbie, then there are a lot of terminologies and concepts that you should at least have a vague idea of before getting started. You will need to know a thing or two about PvP, PvE, and gold making. Going into detail about all those will take an entire book just to explain. I will focus this article on the class levels along with their specialties and attributes.

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.

There are also Paladins, which can take on multiple roles from tanks, healers, and dealing damage. One of the Paladin's greatest assets is that they are able to provide buffs to other players. Buffs are spells that strengthens other character's abilities, such as defense and attack power.

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 are often the medics of the team. Instead of attacking and dealing damage, they specialize at healing allies and negating the effects of harmful spells casted on team members.

Shamans can fill whatever role they are needed during battle. They can take on many roles and alternate between healing, casting offensive magic , and deal damage.

Warlocks have the ability to summon demons that aid in combat. They also cast spells such as poison which causes accumulating damage to the enemy at periodic intervals.

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 you have it, the different classes for World of Warcraft. Knowing the classes and their attributes will give you a better idea of their styles and which one suits you best.
