'''Allowable equipment:''' Cloth, Leather, Mail, Plate, Shields


Racial Mount: Undead Steed
'''Allowable weapons:''' All


Available Classes: [[Mage]], [[Priest]], [[Rogue]], [[Warlock]], [[Warrior]]
===Paladin===
Paladin's are the tank/healer hybrid class. At higher levels the Paladin excels at absorbing damage. Paladins have Auras(spells that affect your entire group) and Blessings (5 minute buffs) as well as Greater Blessings(15 minute buffs).  Also they are able to cast Seals (30 second offensive spells) with the ability to then use judgments to release the energy of those seals on a target.


High level Holy Paladins have become very mana efficient and are often used as MH (Main Healers) in several of the smaller 5-man Group instances, but are best used as backup and supplemental healers in raid aspects. High level "Heal-adins" are granted talents such as "Light's Grace", which grants any usage of your primary healing spell a chance to reduce the casting time for that spell by 1/3 for a short time, and "Holy Shock", which is a special ability for "Heal-adins" which, depending on your target's deposition towards you, ally or enemy, it will heal or damage them, respectively.


Racial Traits
High level Retribution Paladins excel at dealing damage with seals and weaponry. Their DPS (Damage per second) is the highest of all three Paladin specializations. Retribution Paladins are best using 2-handed weapons, such as axes or hammers. They are granted talents such as "Crusader Strike", which gives the Paladin an extra attack which can be activated to instantly deal 110% weapon damage.

=Classes=
===Priest===
A Priest is the dedicated healer/buffer of WOW. While shadow spec priests have the ability to deal out descent damage its ability to get groups are heavily dependent on its ability to heal and is somewhat weak when it comes to soloing. For all these reason priests continue to be a minority on most server for people who tend to prefer the utility of [[#Shaman|Shaman]]'s , [[#Druid|Druid]]'s or [[#Paladin|Paladin]]'s


===Warrior===
'''Allowable Races:''' [[#Human|Human]], [[#Night Elf|Night Elf]], [[#Dwarf|Dwarf]], [[#Draenei|Draenei]], [[#Undead|Undead]], [[#Troll|Troll]], [[#BloodElf|Blood Elf]]

===Priest===

===Druid===
===Druid===
A Druid is a jack of all trades class. Having the ability to cope with almost any situation. A Druid in normal form is a caster that can fight with spells or weapons. In Bear form the Druid becomes a Warrior with Rage. While in Cat form the Druid becomes a Rogue with Energy and stealth. The Aquatic form gives faster movement and the ability to breath underwater.  The last form is a travel form similar the 20th level shaman ability.
Druids also have the ability to heal but are somewhat lacking compared to the Priest who is a specialized healer.
The class offers great utility however excels at nothing.
'''Allowable Races:''' [[#Night Elf|Night Elf]], [[#Tauren|Tauren]]
'''Available Armor:''' Cloth, Leather
'''Allowable Weapons:''' Staves, Maces, Daggers, Unarmed Weapons


===Warlock===
===Warlock===
Warlocks are your traditional pet caster class with some utility thrown in. The pet mainly allows a Warlock to solo, since the classes primary damage spells come from DOT (damage over time) spells. The Warlocks most potent spells require soulshards that have to be harvested in combat. The Warlock community has long complained about the inability to get shards in PVP has severely limited their effectiveness in end game as well as over all server numbers. That being said Warlocks are far from weak they have a utility that is only rivaled by possibly the shaman. Through the use of Soulstones or Healthstones they create they can resurrect or heal party members, respectively.  With the use of Soul Shards they can summon demonic minions, teleport people to themselves (requires help of 2 other people).


===Mage===
'''Allowable Races:''' [[#Human|Human]], [[#Orc|Orc]], [[#Undead|Undead]], [[#Gnome|Gnome]], [[#BloodElf|Blood Elf]]

=Professions=
===Mage===
Mages are your stripped down raw damage casters. The Mages get a variety of damage spells making sure that they have a good chance to beat resistances and have powerful AoE (Area of Effect) spells.  They are also the primary crowd control caster in the game. Mages also have the ability to summon their own food and drink ensuring as little down time as possible. If the Mage has a weakness its the management  of aggro, too many resists will equal death. This also limits soloabilty if you play this class make sure you enjoy grouping a lot.  Though with changes to the Frost/Ice tree, soloing has become much easier with crowd control and slowing spells.

'''Allowable Weapons:''' Staves, Wands, Daggers, Swords


===Enchanting===
===Hunter===
A hunters primary abilities are their range attacks and their ability to train pets. These two factors  make them one of the strongest solo classes in the game. Most hunters tend to use bear pets for PVE due to their high armor and hit points and cat pets for PVP, which have less armor but an increased attack speed. This is general though as any hunter you talk to will have their own opinion as to their favorite pets. Often life or death lie in aggro management. Hunters also have limited crowd control in the form of traps.

Trade skills in WOW are different than most MMOGs in the respect that most do not require a large time or resource investment. In fact most can be level as one level to 60 through the game. You are allowed to choose 2 primary professions and any of the secondary you like. Choosing professions that compliment each other allow you to save coin and make skilling up easier. Below are brief descriptions of professions and most possibilities for skills that compliment each other.
