World of Warcraft Warrior Guide

The leveling up process has gone through many changes in the Shadowlands, and by that, I mean leveling up as a Warrior, as it has gotten quite simple and straightforward. You can now generate the Charge ability to store energy and hit your enemies. You can also swap between DPS and Tank Specializations to quickly complete dungeons. Speaking in terms of questing, there are many tools that can help in keeping your character healthy, while dealing a great amount of damage in AOE and Single-Target scenarios for this wow warrior leveling spec. The following guide will provide you with the necessary information that you need to level up your warrior class character without any difficulties or bumps in your path.

Best Specialization for Warriors in Shadowlands

When you come across the phase where you have to choose a specialization to level up, you will have to figure out whether you want to do it as a Tank or DPS. Each of the three Warrior specs is capable enough for fast questing and leveling. However, if you choose to level up as a Fury or Arms, then keep in mind that during situations where you are having trouble getting into dungeon groups as DPS, you must swap to Protection – which is a quicker way to find a genuine dungeon group.

Speaking in terms of Fury and Arms, they are both solid to deal with solo content and can inflict a great deal of damage thanks to their abilities. They are quite sustaining to get through high-level mobs without slowing down. Protection Warriors deal less damage when compared to Fury and Arms, but they have their own strengths for this wow warrior leveling spec. A good example would be how Protection Warriors can pull many enemies together and still survive thanks to its extraordinary defensive abilities. In addition, they also have many offensive tools to offer, so questing swiftly is not going to be a problem. However, in the end, it’s all about the playstyle that you prefer and enjoy. So, without further ado, let’s get started with the guide.

Warrior Class: Ability Unlocks in Shadowlands

Levels 2 to 6

At level 2, you unlock the ability called Charge, which helps in closing the gap between you and your enemy target, while at the same time, generating a good amount of Rage. At level 3, you unlock the ability called Shield Slam, which deals damage to a single enemy target, and it should be used on cooldown until you decide on a spec at level 10. At level 3, you unlock the ability called Hamstring, which allows you to put some distance between you and the enemy target by slowing them down for wow warrior leveling guide. At level 5, you unlock the ability called Victory Rush, which allows you to heal yourself as you defeat an enemy, making it a good source to maintain your health while leveling up. At level 6, you unlock the abilities called Shield Block and Executive, which is a powerful defensive ability that blocks physical attacks, and a high-damaging combat finisher used on mobs that have their health down to below 20%, respectively. However, you cannot unlock Execute, until or unless you have completed the quest ‘A Warrior’s End’ for this wow warrior leveling guide.

Levels 7 to 34

At level 7, you unlock the ability called Pummel, which interrupts the enemy’s spellcasting and prevents them from casting it again (short duration). At level 8, you unlock the ability called Taunt, which is a threat ability that forces the enemy to focus its attacks on you. At level 9, you unlock the ability called Whirlwind, which is an AOE tool that deals damage to up to five enemies. At level 17, you unlock the ability called Ignore Pain, which is a shielding ability that absorbs partial incoming damage. At level 24, you unlock the ability called Heroic Throw, which allows players using Ranged Attacks to deal damage to the enemies who are far across the area (AGGRO) for this wow warrior guide. At level 29, you unlock the ability called Berserker Rage, which is again a defensive ability, but it removes the loss from control effects. At level 33, you unlock the ability called Heroic Leap, which allows you to swiftly leap from one tile to another. At level 34, you unlock the ability called Intimidating Shout, which disorients the enemy targets around you for a short period of time.

Levels 39 to 54

At level 39, you unlock the ability called Battle Shout, which is an intense group-wide buff that increases the damage inflicted upon the enemy. At level 41 for this wow warrior guide, you unlock the ability called Shattering Throw, which is another Ranged ability that has a cast time and deals a good amount of damage against absorbs. It also assists in removing any magical immunities. At level 46, you unlock the ability called Rallying Cry, which is a defensive group cooldown that increases maximum and current health for a short duration of time. At level 47, you unlock the ability called Spell Reflection, which is a short buff that reduces the damage from incoming magical attacks, and at the same time, causes the hostile spells to be reflected back on the enemy. Finally, at level 57, you unlock the ability called Challenging Shout, which is a taunting ability that causes the enemy target to focus on you for six seconds.

Warrior Class: Best Heirloom for Levelling in Shadowlands

Heirlooms make the process of leveling up a lot smoother. When you purchase them, make sure that you get a Haste, because it helps in lowering the cooldown time for most of your abilities. Thus, making the process a lot easier.

Making Money in World of Warcraft

This is the first of several articles that will enable you, Joe Q WoWplayer, to increase the amount of gold you can make in World of Warcraft. The guides should be useful to both casual and hardcore players. Before I get too far into this, let me say immediately: There are no guaranteed ways to make money. What follows is merely advice and suggestions which I have found works for me. Prices and methods can vary wildly from server to server and faction to faction. Use common sense, study how the prices on your server ebb and flow, and they should work for you too. Above all, don’t blame me if you end up broke.

To begin with, there are various addons I would recommend for anyone wanting to maximise their profits, or simply make some actions easier to perform. All addons are available from curse, and probably any other addon site you prefer to visit.

First, the essentials:

Auctioneer – Tracks and records the prices of everything on the auction house, and recommends prices for you to list your own items, usually automatically undercutting the competition up at the time by a few percent. Absolutely required for using the AH with any degree of success. I’ll be covering much more on Auctioneer in a later article, but for now, install it, and use one of your characters to do a full scan of the items on both your faction AH and the neutral AH. These scans (in my experience) take about ten to fifteen minutes on the faction listings, and perhaps five on the neutral ones, and should ideally be done at least once a week to keep everything current. Auctioneer also provides all this gathered information whenever you mouse over an item it’s already seen on the auction house, and makes recommendations as to whether you should auction, vendor, and/or disenchant it based on those prices.

Gatherer – By the same people as Auctioneer, this addon is only immediately essential if you’re planning to have a gathering profession, usually either herbalism or mining. If you install this, it will track the positions of any herb or ore nodes on both your map and minimap. Nodes always come back after a period of time, and marking the position of them will make it much faster and easier to run through profitable gathering areas later.

Little Sparky’s Workshop – This addon works with Auctioneer to show the costs to make any items you can make with your profession, and the price you could potentially sell that finished item for on the AH. If the cost of making it is lessthan the price you’ll get for the item, it’ll be highlighted. Comes into its own when you have multiple items you can make with the materials you have.

Altoholic – Designed for those of us who like to play tons of multiple characters, this addon is also extremely useful even if you just play a single char. Altoholic will keep track of everything in your inventory, as well as everything in both your personal and guild bank, and items your other characters have. This means you can search by name for an item you may have stashed away without having to drag your ass back to town and look in the bank manually.

It also has various options to track your professions, both primary and secondary, and will offer suggestions as to what/where to go to work on gettting them higher. If you’re in a guild or have friends, it will also display their professions and recipes.

There are also a couple of addons which I can’t in all honesty say are ‘essential’, but I find them very convenient:

Postal – An addon for managing your mail. Essentially, it allows you to open every mail in your mailbox and gather the contents with a single click. Optional settings allow this to only open, say, successful auctions, items you won, or expired items, or any combination thereof. There’s a certain satisfaction to opening your mail manually, but when you start getting large volumes of gold and goods through the AH, you’ll be glad of this addon.

Crapaway! – No, really. Great name, isn’t it? What this addon does is sell every grey item you have in your bags when you visit any vendor. There’s really no reason to not have this, as there’s maybe one grey item in the game with any vendable worth, and you’ll never see it. Grey items tend to build up while you’re questing and farming; unless you’re carefully obsessive-compulsive with cleaning your bags out, you will miss some. Greys sitting in your bags are wasted space and unclaimed revenue.

Once you’ve installed the addons, your character(s) will be ready to start making money. And the best place to start making money is the auction house, which will be covered in detail in the next article.

World of Warcraft: An Overview to the Druid Specs and How to Gear for Each

Druids are a cool class because they can really perform in any way. They can cover any section of the group that needs to be covered. They can do damage, take damage, or heal damage. It’s really a unique and complex class, because they’re great for a few different reasons. You really need to spec in the section that you’d rather do, but it’s quite easy to respec and get gear for each spec, especially if you’re someone that plays on private realms.

Restoration druids are quite popular, especially when it comes to “stealth runs”. I love being a restoration druid because of how wanted they are. Restoration druids are some of the best healers, and they can also stealth up to where someone will need health. They’re quite easy to maintain, actually, and their healing over time spells are some of the best and easiest to manage keeping someone alive against attackers. As a restoration druid, I was easily able to heal one player who was taking on custom t7 bosses by their selves. I didn’t run out of mana, since my spirit was so high as a restoration druid and the fact that I primary used the healing over time abilities, which don’t take nearly as much mana for the healing that they do over the course of time. They’re also instant cast spells, so it really all works its way out in the long run.

When you want to equip your restoration druid, keep in mind that you’re trying to get your healing bonus up. The better you have for a healing bonus, the more effective and easy to mange your healing will be. If you can heal more per spell, you won’t need to cast as many spells; therefore you’ll heal more damage, and you’ll also have to use much fewer spells. Make sure to get enchants on your weapon for healing bonus, as well as rings and gloves. Everything else, just get intellect and spirit if you can manage.

Feral druids aren’t exactly that popular in end-game anymore. This is because they’re sort of weak in comparison to everything else in the end of the game. Of course they can have quite a bit of attack power with equips, and especially a certain druid staff, but they’re unable to equip a weapon, dramatically decreasing their damage per second. However, this is still a great leveling class. If you’re someone who wants to be a feral druid, just make sure to keep your attack power way up there. This means that you’re going to want to increase your attack power directly, or increase agility and strength. If you increase agility, your crit rate will also go up. If you increase strength, your armor will also go up.

Balance druids are another really popular class of druids for end-game content. They’re extremely good for doing ranged dps, because they’re awesome spell casteres with really fast spells. The other great thing about this spec is that they can cast from the moonkin form, meaning that they can have tons of armor while still being a caster. This is a great advantage to the druid caster form. Make sure to equip this guy to do maximum spell bonus damage. The more damage you can do, the faster you can whipe out your enemy. Make sure to get enchants for spell damage as well. IF you have to, cloth is a great way to get your magic damage up even further.

Overall, all of the specs for druids can be great, as long as you equip them right and know how to use them.
