Flying Mount

Good news from the 3.2 Patch – mount requirements are being relaxed, which means that you’ll be able to train for your first mount at level 20 for 4 gold, and your elite mount at level 40 for 50 gold. It’ll also only take 1.5 seconds to summon these mounts, down from 3 seconds. This isn’t exactly a huge change to leveling speeds, but I imagine applied across all 60 levels of mounted play time, it might become quite a few hours.

This is a huge change not just because you’re now getting your mounts 10 levels and 20 levels earlier respectively, but you’re also getting them FAR cheaper, which means less gold farming. This will likely leave a bad taste in a lot of player’s mouths that have just shelled out 600 gold for an epic mount at level 60, but I guess there’s no way for Blizzard to really recoup their costs.

Flying mounts have been tweaked too, expert riding now costs 600 gold, down from 800 gold, and artisan riding will now apply faction discounts on the 5000 gold required. More reasons to farm rep!

I have a couple of alts around level 20 and 40, and given how long it’ll probably take to get 3.2 live, I think I’ll be using my 40′s normal ground mounts for a long time yet. The 20′s will just have to hack it and pony up the gold, I think.

In other mount news from the new patch, Blizz is trying to equalize the number of purchasable mounts available to each race, and to achieve this are adding a new 60% speed ground mount for night elves, and a 100% ground mount for undead.

You can also now fly over Dalaran and Wintergrasp as long as you stay high above the ground. How high? Only Blizzard knows at this point… and as to what happens if you get too low over these areas? Who knows…

So if you’re thinking of getting into World of Warcraft for the first time, if you used to play, or if you’re thinking of starting a new alt, I’d hold off until patch 3.2 arrives…!

Deadly BE Rogue

Deep in the wilderness throughout WoW you will find the stealthy and lethal Rogue society.

A group that is heralded as the most devious in battle, but crippling at the same time. I enjoy a few of the many abilities a Rogue can offer, especially the ability to handicap others in battle with various poisons.

The Uniqueness of a Rogue

Well, beyond on the battle benefits, the Rogue will always be called upon to pick locks. They are the only class that can do it, and if you’re smart you’ll take advantage of the money that can be made by this supply and demand opportunity. Anytime someone gets a Lockbox from a drop, you’ll see a nice request for you in the chat area. It’ll be worth a few gold a piece at least.

Fighting Style

Since your Rogue can have a very high melee damage potential, it’s not surprising that you can deal all kinds of damage. Best of all you can sneak up on your opponent and stun them, take away HP and then use Vanish, Sprint, or Blind. In short they are probably the most resourceful class out there. However, I haven’t even broke out all the details surrounding your newest character.

Unfortunately there are downfalls to every class, and the Rogues aren’t any different. On an armor standpoint you won’t be able to wear anything above Leather. No, there isn’t a trainable Mail Armor area for them either. I would have to say this isn’t close to the worst considering you will have no buffs available at all and you can’t heal yourself without a potion or bandage.

Building a Fast Leveling Rogue

Now that you know all the weaknesses surrounding your new Toon, it’s time to make a build for him or her so you can reach level 80 at a higher rate. The Assassination tree will be full of crit strikes, reduction and gains in energy, as well as increased damage. This is your best bet at building an unbeatable Rogue. 51 points should placed here, and none of them should wind up in the following abilities.

Malice (0/5)
Lethality (0/5)
Improved Poisons (2/5)
Improved Kidney Shot (0/3)
Murder (0/2)
Deadened Nerves (1/3)
Find Weakness (2/3)
Master Poisoner (1/3)

Underneath the Subtlety and Combat talents you’ll have 20 points to play with and give your character a few extras increases. I didn’t want to put too much into the Combat zone because there is more you can do in the Subtlety area. So you will only see one ability addition there.

Combat

Improved Gouge (2/3)

Subtlety

Master of Deception (3/3)
Opportunity (2/2)
Dirty Tricks (2/2)
Camouflage (3/3)
Elusiveness (1/2)
Ghostly Strike (1/1)
Serrated Blades (3/3)
Initiative (1/3)
Improved Ambush (2/2)

Now get out there and start showing everyone how fast you can level to 80.

If you find a better way to level up then by all means do it. The idea here is to help you figure out the best option available, and allow you to learn new things about the World of Warcraft game.

Various Druid Forms

Anyone, and I mean anyone who hasn’t had the chance to play with a Druid should stop reading this and go start a new character.

Druids in my opinion are the most entertaining and complex class of them all. I must admit, it was the Blizzard movie that shows the girl running through the forest and changing into a panther that got me interested.

Even the first few levels of play you will notice the difference in this class and get a feeling for what’s to come.  Even though the opportunity to change into several different animals is intriguing, it’s the mass array of having nature at your disposal that makes your Druid one to be reckoned with in the World of Warcraft.

However, you might need a little help along the way so I’m going to throw out some suggestions for you today.

Druid Races and Animal Forms

You will only find 2 races that offer the Druid class.  The Night Elf is the only race on the Alliance side and the Tauren for the Horde.  Even though you are limited to these two options, the animal transforming definitely makes up for it.  You will be able to transform into either a bear or cat, but throughout the game you will gain other transformations as well.

Once you reach level 40, the bear will be replaced by dire bear form.  Even though this will be a bummer for some, I think you’ll be happy with the dire bear, not to mention the quest chain that gives you an awesome epic flying form.  You can change into your flight form once you reach level 68, and then the epic flight form at level 71 (coming down to 60 and 70 in patch 3.2).

Building Your Druid

Okay, let’s get to the good stuff and help you get a nice build for your Toon.

You will be able to choose between the Balance, Feral Combat, and Restoration trees.  While each of them have their own benefits, it’s the Balance talent build that I enjoyed using for leveling.  So stick 61 points in this tree and leave out the areas I give you below to maintain the fastest leveling rate.

Genesis (0/5)
Improved Insect Swarm (0/3)
Balance of Power (0/2)
Improved Faerie Fire (0/3)

Hopefully you noticed the 3/3 in Moonglow. This is one of the more “boring” looking talents in the tree, but its essential for mana efficiency and keeping your leveling times up.

Click for WoW Head build

The Moonglow talent also has the benefit of opening up a great set of talents, such as Starfall, Force of Nature, Moonkin Form (owl beast), and one of my other favorites; the Typhoon.

Each of them will be used religiously once you get up to the higher levels (50-80).

This being said, you still have 10 points to play with and I want to help you place them in the appropriate areas.

Improved Mark of the Wild (2/2)
Nature’s Focus (3/3)
Furor (5/5)

These can all be found in the Restoration tree and add some solid usable buffs to your balance druid.

My favorite of these is Furor, and with 5 points here you increase your total intellect in Moonkin form by 10%, great for mana, and great for extra crits.

So start out with this Druid leveling build for now, adding talent points as you go in what ever order you like (though level the resto talents till your 62nd point… and maybe down the line you can respec to learn some new traits that aren’t quite are useful, but not not in a leveling sense.

Shaman with Totems

The day you want to roll a Shaman is the day you’ll start gaining hundreds of friends on World of Warcraft.  Well, I guess that depends on how much you like questing with others.

Probably my favorite part about using this is class is the various ways to build the character. Since there are so many options, you won’t ever go wrong.

However, I’m going to show you a way to utilize them all.

Starting with Elemental

If you start the build process with the Elemental tree, you’ll end up enjoying the ride.  The golden rule is to place 51 points in any one talent tree and leave yourself with 20 others to play with in the others.  The same goes for the Elemental tree, and your goal here is to reduce mana as well as increase damage.  Plus you’ll increase the use of your totems as well.  Just skip over the short list below.

Concussion (0/5)
Elemental Warding (0/3)
Eye of the Storm (0/3)
Elemental Reach (0/2)
Storm, Earth, and Fire (0/3)

Enhancement Tree

In the example I’m showing you here, you will only need to place 13 points in the Enhancement talents.  However, if you decide that this is the area you want to focus on, then make sure you have enough puts to utilize the Feral Spirit ability.  Having two under your command will definitely help in tight situations.  Just keep in mind they will only last for 45 seconds.  Going back to the Elemental focus, use your points wisely in the abilities below.

Enhancing Totems (3/3)
Earth’s Grasp (2/2)
Guardian Totems (2/2)
improved Ghost Wolf (2/2)
Improved Shields (3/3)
Shamanistic Focus (1/1)

The Restoration Talent

Unfortunately at this point you are only left with 7 talents.  The best places to put these are the Totemic Focus and Improved Reincarnation.  The TF reduces your overall mana on totems by 25% once you fill this ability to the rim.  The IR on the otherhand will reduce your Reincarnation cooldown time by a massive amount (20 minutes).  Plus, you can regenerate health and mana at a 20% rate.

Totemic Focus (5/5)
Improved Reincarnation (2/2)

Good Shaman Tips to Live By

Even though the totems are a big part of Shaman play, I wouldn’t consider it the only reason to play this class.  The ridiculous amount of versatility leaves you feeling like you can play with any other class.  My favorite ability to use on opponents has to be the Earth Shock.  Anytime a spellcaster comes your way, you can use the Earth Shock to keep them from casting spells.  Then just break out the whoopin’ stick with your instant casts.  Oh, and if you’re looking for professions, I recommend Enchanting.

Tauren Warrior

The Warrior is considered to be the tanking artist with large amounts of DPS ability.

If you want to be the player who reverts aggro back to yourself and deals unbelievable amounts of damage, then the Warrior class is right up your alley.

There are many ways to build a Warrior, but my favorite talent tree has to be the Protection area.

Here you will be able to use specific skills that will enhance any Warrior who joins a group or raiding event.  Several of the abilities pertain to helping your team with Battle Shouts and Vigilance.  Plus you will be able to acquire the Shockwave ability that stuns your opponents and deals over 400+ damage during a 4 second period.

Just keep in mind it will only affect the mobs in front of you that are within 10 yards.  So what’s the best Protection build? 

Well, you won’t have to worry about any of these abilities.

Shield Specialization (2/5)
Anticipation (0/5)
Improved Revenge (0/2)
Shield Mastery (0/2)
Puncture (0/3)

If you’re worried about the Fury or Arms talents, there are a few you will be able to gather if you set up the Protection build appropriately.  I know a few others who would rather place the majority of their points in either one of these areas, but we would all tell you it depends on your style of play.

Do you like to solo?  Is there an Instance you’ll be going into today?

Maybe you just mess around in battlegrounds, but the point is you should adjust accordingly.  In this case, I’ll set you up with the other two talents.

Arms Talent Tree

Improved Heroic Strike (3/3)
Improved Rend (2/2)
Improved Charge (2/2)

Fury Talent Tree

Armored to the Teeth (3/3)
Booming Voice (2/2)
Improved Demoralizing Shout (5/5)
Improved Cleave (3/3)

Strengths and Weaknesses

Whenever you build a new character, you will soon find all of their strengths and weaknesses during game play.  In the Warrior’s case, you won’t have the opportunity to share buffs with your opponents like other classes.  Well, maybe one or two but nothing like a Priest.  You will also have to load up on health potions in case your healers are amateurs.

However, where there is bad you will also find good.  The strengths of the Warrior are why most people enjoy playing with them.  You will enjoy the ability to use every kind of weapon out there excluding wands, and can help all your friends by pulling enemies during battle.  If that wasn’t enough, you’ll also earn a sick amount of hit points and have tons of fun with your Charge ability.

Leaving You with Something

If there is anything I would share about the Warrior, it has to be the different stances that are available.  Each one is unique in it’s own way with special skills that help in certain situations.  You will have the choice between a Battle, Defensive, or Berserker stance.  They should be used based on your talents and current situations.  Last but not least, make sure you train for Herbalism and Alchemy.  It will keep your gold costs down in the AH if you’re able to make buffs and potions.

Undead Mage

Alright, its time for your mage to take a break from making portals for everyone and focus on leveling.

I’m sure you’ve made all kinds of gold for about ten minutes of work, but I want to help you reach the higher levels so you can do more with your Mage.  This means it’s time to put down the Arcane and start building your Fire Talents.

The Avid Pyroblast User

I gotta admit, every time I’ve thrown on the Mage cloths, I’m addicted to using the Pyroblast.  It all starts around level 20, but when you train this ability throughout the game you’ll be able to deal up to 1510 fire damage and an additional 452 duration bonus damage.  Since you can train this every six levels (plus 73 and 77) it will definitely be used until you reach level 80 and beyond.

An Interesting Build

In order to get the most out of your Mage, it will be crucial to pay careful attention to the Fire tree.  I don’t want you to waste all 71 points here, since I’m sure there are a few Arcane and Frost spells you enjoy.  While this might vary between players, if you start out using 51 points here, you’ll have twenty left over for the other two talent trees.  Take a look at the abilities you can skip (except Burnout) in the Fire area.

Skip:
Incineration (0/3)
Burning Determination (0/2)
Impact (0/3)
Molten Shields (0/2)
Improved Scorch (0/3)
Playing with Fire (0/3)
Blazing Speed (0/2)

But make sure you take:
Burnout (3/5)

20 Points of Power

Okay, so you’ve got all these talent points left over.  You can go about this your own way, but I’m going to throw out a few suggestions to you just in case you aren’t sure where to place them.  Whatever you decide to do, make sure you don’t leave any of them sitting in your pool area.  Here’s a quick look at how you can boost your Arcane and Frost abilities.  Keep an eye on the specific point calculations.

Arcane

Arcane Subtlety (2/2)
Arcane Stability (4/5)
Arcane Fortitude (2/3)
Arcane Concentration (1/5)

Frost

Improved Frostbolt (2/5)
Ice Floes (3/3)
Ice Shards (3/3)
Frost Warding (2/2)
Icy Veins (1/1)

The Most Entertaining Mage Spell

After you spend most of your talent points in the Fire Tree, you will find the Living Bomb ability at the bottom.  If you want to watch a great spell in action, then you need to set this off a few times.  My favorite place to use it is Stratholme since there is a ridiculous amount of mobs there.  First, you will be target an enemy and turn them into a bomb.  It will deliver 612-1380 damage over 12 seconds.

When the time has elapsed your target will explode and add another 336-759 bonus damage (depending on your rank) to all enemies around the bomb.  While this is a fantastic tool for any Mage, it’s just as much fun watching all your enemies fly up into the air.  Unfortunately you can only place it on one target at a time, but I know you’ll enjoy it.  Now go have some fun with your Mage!

Sweet Looking 80 'Lock(taken from a wallpaper at worldofwarcraft.com)

Ever feel like your Warlock just don’t hold a candle to most of the other classes?

The first time I created a Warlock, it was obvious that being a “cloth-er” sucked for PvP play.  Even if you had the Voidwalker or Felhunter out for the fight, everyone can just focus on you.

It’s completely and utterly annoying, but it did open my eyes to what was missing.

If you want to build a Warlock of supremacy, then you will have to do three or maybe even four things.  The first two things that are a must is checking out your talents and getting the best gear possible.

Well, let’s just start with those and discuss the other two in a few minutes.  For now, open up your Affliction, Demonology, and Destruction trees.

The Strengths and Weaknesses

Most Locks choose their Affliction tree from the get go.  It’s because this entire section is devoted to making all your spells faster, and boost crit strikes during battle.  Since the Curse of Agony and Corruption spells take off damage during specific durations it’s important to buff them up a little bit in the beginning.  Seriously, the very first Affliction talent is the Improved Curse of Agony, which gives you 10% more damage during the cycle.  Then the 3rd one on the first row is Improved Corruption.

Hey, it’s a great way to start out playing.  Unfortunately you will find that the higher levels require a little more help then faster spells and a hope for crit strikes here and there.  We do like the Affliction tree, but not all of it.  Many of the abilities in there will not be needed during game play.  Plus, you’re missing out on a large amount of armor.

Demonology

Okay, if you want to set up your armor then head to a trainer and respec.  You will want to set up the Demonology tree for two reasons.  Number one is because there is an extreme need for a tank during the later leveling stages.  If you already have 40 points available for talents, work your way down the tree and make sure you can summon a Felguard.  While you’re there spend 5 more points getting the Metamorphosis spell as well.

What you’ll find is a pet with some sick armor and a Warlock that can transform into a demon (for 30 seconds) gaining a 600% increase in armor.  Add in all the extra spells that are gained and you will find yourself taking over fights with a vengeance.  The only downfall to all of this is that your spells cooldown times are much slower then if you had the Affliction tree built up.

Mixing It Up a Bit

Now that you have focused on Demonology and find yourself with left over talent points, start looking in the other trees to increase your spells and abilities.  Here is a small list of things to include in the Affliction and Destruction trees.

Affliction

Improved Curse of Agony (2/2)
Improved Corruption (5/5)
Life Tap (2/2)

Destruction

Improved Shadow Bolt (5/5)
Bane (5/5)
Shadowburn (1/1)

With a few ranks trained in Shadowburn, you’ll be laying down some heavy hits of 300 damage, 400 damage, all the way up to 665 damage at rank 8. Get this off after a critical shadow bolt and you’re looking at 685 damage instant cast spells that can be equally handy in PvE or, of course, PvP where burst damage rules.

Earlier we wanted to tell you a couple other things that are important to for your Warlock.  If anything, you must have the Grand Master First Aid tag.  Since it will allow you to make the Heavy Frostweave Bandages, this will only help you and your Felguard.  Last but not least, load up on as much Epic gear as possible.  If you can’t find any or just haven’t got the gold or time, then stick with your solid performing blue equipment until you’re able to learn how to make more gold. In the end this will help increase your armor, stamina, intellect, and spirit, which means you improve your leveling times, loot gathering ability and PvP power.

3. Afflication Warlock Casting Rotation: Mid Level Welcome Warlocks – today I’m continuing my recent series into...

Just to give you a little overview of what to look for when leveling a Death Knight — I want you to stick with the rotating quests.  For instance, once you’re in Stormwind and speak with the King, then to Mathias with the SI: group, you will head towards EPL and WPL (Eastern and Western Plaguelands).  You can grab a bunch of quests here, but they won’t be available right from the get go.

You’ll figure that out as you go along, but in order to take care of these in a timely fashion I want you to focus on a few things during your adventure.  Just using three approaches can take you from 58 to 80 in a matter of days.  Keep in mind this is actually /played time and not three different days you login to your account!

Know Your Death Knight

I will be the first one to tell you that when you don’t know what your class does, it makes it more difficult to use it.  If you’re in a fight simply hitting spells, not understanding what they do, then the time it takes you to complete specific quests will be much longer then normal.  So spend ten or fifteen minutes going over your Spells and Abilities to try and figure out how things work — what ability goes with what? Which spell is best used first? You get the idea.

Set Up the Right Talents

Once you’ve learned all about the spells you’ve been trained in up to this point, it’s always a good idea to maximize their power in the talent trees.  In order to do this it’s imperative to take a different approach to your DK build then you would with a regular class.  I recommend boosting the abilities of the spells you already have and then go from there.  The end result will be faster questing because you’ve matched up your talents with your current ability set. Don’t go middle of the road here. Plough most points into one talent tree and perhaps a third into another!

The Finishing Touch

A friend of mine passed along a little information regarding a leveling Death Knights that I thought you would like to read.  When he first created a DK, there was a ton of people in Death’s Breach trying to complete the Death Knight quests.  After awhile, they decided to join each other (6 in all) and quest together.  He said it was the fastest he had ever reached level 80.

However, they DID specify times they would be on so they could catch up regularly to quest together.  If you can do this and get a well put together DK build, then you will soon find yourself leveling up pretty fast.  Then again, if you’re the one who likes to do it solo, it will be important to know what you can and can’t do within the World of Warcraft game.

Just as a quick example, many players have found their fastest leveling comes when they complete quests that are 2 levels below them. Don’t take this advice lightly! Give it a try and you’ll soon understand the power of this little known fact.

This means you’ll want to keep away from orange or red quests, and stick to stuff that you BREEZE through easily. It can be a little tricky as a new Death Knight, since you start with so many levels behind you – but you’ll get there!

How to Level Up Your Priest Faster with the Proper Talent Tree!

How many times have you been running around a city and you see the chat filled with requests?

You know, things like, “LF 5 Priests for Violet Hold” or “Need Healers for the Underbog- Will Pay.”

It would be nice to hang with everyone else, but unfortunately you are still 15 levels away from getting the chance. For the “Average Joe” it could take days, if not weeks to go from level 60 to 75, but with a little direction I can help you solve this problem.

The Priest Leveling Build:

The first thing you need to do is check your talent tree.

One of the biggest reasons players can’t level up faster is because they don’t have the right build on their toon. In order to respec your character, find the nearest Priest trainer. Keep in mind this will cost you a little money, but it will be well worth it when you’re done. So what can make the difference?

As you well know, World of Warcraft can easily distract you within the game. Whether it’s the AH, going on a raid with friends to heal, or even looking for that epic gear can take away from actually leveling up faster, but so does sticking all your talent points in the Holy area to help everyone else. In order to take down your enemies in a timely fashion and lookout for yourself, it’s important to hit up the Shadow Tree.

Shadow Tap (3/3) should be filled first since it will give you a 100% boost to your bonus after killing something that disperses experience or honor. Then you can max out your Improved Shadow Tap (2/2) in order to reach the next level of talents. Your next build should involve the Shadow Affinity (3/3), which will reduce the threat against you by 25%, and the Shadow Focus talent (3/3) that gives a 3% hit increase for Shadow Spells and decreases mana cost by 6%.

The third level is going to depend on what spells you use the most. Since I’m a big fan of the Mind Blast, the “Improved Mind Blast” (5/5) will be helpful since it takes off 2.5 seconds of your casting time when it’s maxed out. Also, your Veiled Shadows (2/2) ability is important to have since it drops the cooldown period by 6 seconds of your Fade and two minutes off your Shadowfiend.

You can read how the rest of them work on your own time, but for now let’s just make a short list of what else you should use on your Shadow Tree.

Vampiric Embrace (1/1)

Improved Vampiric Embrace (2/2)

Focused Mind (3/3)

Darkness (5/5)

Shadowform (1/1)

Shadow Power (5/5)

Misery (3/3)

Vampiric Touch (1/1)

Pain and Suffering (3/3)

Improved Shawdowform (2/2)

Twisted Faith (4/5)

Dispersion (1/1)

Now, once your Priest is equipped with these tools you should head over to the AH and bulk up on health and mana potions. Also, having plenty of First Aid bandages will be helpful as well.

The whole idea is to be prepared, just as if you’re getting ready to go on a week long hiking trip. This way you cut down on deaths, save time, and go questing for a substantial amount of time. Oh, and one other thing before I get outta here. Make sure you set your Hearthstone to the main area you’re questing! This way when you’ve completed all the quests, you can simply hearth back to the town instead of riding.

Doing all these things and many others you find along the way will allow for a strategy that works wonders. Do this and you’ll see that while you might have a different priest leveling spec than you initially wanted, the “meat” of the game starts at level 70… Lets get there first without wasting DAYS of /played time! Don’t be afraid to respec your to a leveling build, it will only help you!

That’s right folks – I’m recommending you go ahead and get your hands on one of the professional leveling guides available on the Internet.

But not just any guide, you need a guide that is widely known & respected as being one of the best.

What makes a guide, “the best”?

In my mind, the most important things a leveling guide must have are:

1. An in game guide so you don’t have to alt tab to check which quest to do next, and where,
2. A detailed, “do this, do that” approach which leads you by the hand as though a professional is over your shoulder the whole way,
3. An integrated map-mod which shows you where the quests are, and points the way with a waypoint arrow to show you where to go.

My two favorite guides are Joana’s Horde Leveling Guide, and Zygor’s Automated In-Game Leveling Guide (Horde & Alliance combined).

The thing these two authors do best are giving out a “do this, do that” set of instructions that leaves you in absolutely no doubt whatsoever where you’re going next, why, and in what order.

If you want to be able to just take all the quests you find at a town, then go out and do whatever quests you like, that’s great – its viable, its more flexible, and you can take which ever quests you want, rather than just following along a set path.

For people who like that extra flexibility, (and some amazingly useful leveling tools and advice) I’m a big fan of Dugi’s Ultimate World of Warcraft Guides – they’re also awesome value, especially if you get his package deals which include gold making guides & talent builds.
