New Cataclysm expansion, recently announced by Blizzard will bring brand new items, abilities, races and the 2 new professions.
Burning Crusade expansion introduced Jewelcrafting and Enchanting, Wrath of the Lich King brought Inscription. Cataclysm expansion will, as announced, bring Archaeology and Reforging, latest features of crafting. Click here for more on Archaeology and Reforging Guide WoW
Archaeology profession
Archaeology will be the last of the secondary professions, allowing further customizations to be performed on the characters. Players who learn Archaeology will be able to research the ruins in all of the zones and search for the antiques just like real Archaeologists would do.
Through their research of the ruins, Archaeologists will be able to gather various unique artifacts and make notes. With the use of these artifacts, Archaeologists will be able to customize their characters and with handing in these artifacts to a Titan cult they will be able to get amazing rewards such as Vanity pets, Titles, Teleportation and Items.
Depending on the path they choose, Archeologists will be able to make new discoveries which will bring new passive skills and new abilities.
How unique is Archaeology?
All already known professions in WoW are designed to be taken, skilled to a certain skill level and used in a certain purpose. Archaeology will be different. You won’t be only able to train it, hit the cap and then stop progressing with it. It will allow continuous advancing in profession, which will ensure the constant interest of players for this profession.
Reforging
Reforging is a skill which will allow players to customize their gear. Only the gear statistics will be subject to customization, unfortunately not the appearance as well. It will maybe be possible in the further expansions.
Reforging skill will be available to those having Blacksmithing, Engineering, Jewelcrafting, Leatherworking and Tailoring. Those players who have one or more of these crafting professions will be able to re-customize the piece of gear originating from it. For example a Jewelcrafter will be able to take one stat from the ring. He will then be able to change it and then return it back to the piece as a completely different statistic.
What is so special about this?
Firstly, the stats that you will be able to change are not the ones that some item already has. If you for example have a necklace with stamina and intellect, you will be able to change stamina for the equivalent amount of the spell power instead.
This form of item stats manipulation will be possible on all items, not just the ones you can craft. It will be of particular help to players who do not have the required professions. Those players will be able to seek assistance from other players who have Reforging as an addition to their professions.
Cataclysm expansion will certainly bring a brand new dimension in the World of Warcraft. Being the most popular and outstanding mmorpg, WoW will surely not disappoint the players. The population of the WoW players is ever-growing despite the new MMORPGs that are constantly emerging. Undeniable quality of this game and brand new exciting releases are the main reason for this.

To be perfectly honest I don’t regret buying this guide and think its worth every penny.

In the World of Warcraft, Shamans are a famous class of hybrids. For quite a while Shamans as a class were available only to the Horde while Alliance had Paladins in exchange. With the Burning Crusade this fact has changed and with the new introduced race – the Draenei, Shamans became very popular with the Alliance players.
Resembling the Druid class, Shamans can also drastically change their spec to Casters, Healers and Melee damage dealers. There are three talent builds they can choose from – Enhancement (melee dps), Elemental (caster dps) and Restoration (healer). If you prefer a dps caster that can own a damage meter, the Elemental talent build would be perfect for your Shaman. However, to achieve the best damage output you should equip gear that is rich in sp (spell power), hit rating, crit rating as well as with haste rating. Click here to watch the video: Shaman Leveling Guide
By choosing the Enhancement talents, a Shaman will become a good melee dps. The Enhancement build will also require you to have adequate gear that has a lot of Agility, hit, crit and haste. A special ability granted to all Enhancement Shamans is the ability to summon two ghost wolves which will help a Shaman in a fight against any enemy. This spell is very useful, especially in PvP.
A Restoration Shaman is considered to be a great healer. A Shaman has really good single-target healing spells and is also favored in raids because of his ability to heal multiple targets with a Chain Heal. Earth shield is another very useful spell a Shaman can put on himself, a party member or a tank who is receiving damage. The most important thing when it comes to gear for a Shaman healer is mp5 (the amount of mana regenerated per 5 seconds.
Shamans can wear cloth, leather and mail. He will have wear leather as the strongest armor on lower levels, however, when he reaches a certain level he will be able to equip mail as well. At the higher levels it is strongly suggested to wear mail since this kind of armor is a lot stronger then leather or cloth. Similar to Hunter’s armor sets, mail armor sets made for Shamans have a lot of useful stats like intellect, which is important for a Shaman since he is a mana user. For more information on WoW class guides, read our review: Warcraft Pros Guide Review
For easy leveling a Shaman it is suggested to put your talents in the Enhancement branch. As an Enhancement Shaman you will not need much mana since most of your skills are melee and therefore your leveling will go much faster. Another couple talent points well spent would be in the improved ghost wolf form to enable you to instantly turn into the ghost wolf.
Another thing which made Shamans very popular in groups, raids and in PvP are their totems. There are four groups of totems divided into elements – Air totems, Fire totems, Water totems and Earth totems. Depending on the build a Shaman chooses their totems will give more benefit to the party members. Since there are four groups of elements, a Shaman can use one totem from each group so in total he can cast 4 different totems.
The Shaman class is a fun class for leveling and playing both PvE and PvP, since they are able to change their role when needed. With many options to choose from when it comes to Shamans, rest assured you will fall in love with this class and never get bored.

For a long time the Paladin class was only specific for the Alliance players. When the Burning Crusade expansion came out Horde players were introduced to this wonderful class and were able to role a Paladin.The only race with the Horde that could role a Paladin is the Blood Elf race while for the Alliance a Paladin could be rolled by Humans, Dwarfs and also the newly introduced race – the Draenei.
Paladins are considered to be one of the hybrid classes since they could be healers, melee dpsers and tanks as well. This class is really fun to play and you are promised to never get bored since you can change your game play style whenever you like. Pally tanks are famous for their AoE tanking ability, which means that they can tank multiple targets. When it comes to the talent points, to make a good tanking Paladin you will need to put your points mostly in the Protection talent tree. Click here to watch the video: Paladin Leveling Guide.
If you prefer to heal with your Paladin, than you need to put most of your talent points in the Holy talent tree. When it comes to Paladin’s healing abilities he is considered to be very skilful healer on single targets# Paladin may not be the best healer but he can still be on top of the healing meter since his heals are fast. A healing Paladin doesn’t have any heals over time (HoTs) and most of his healing is done with flash heals and therefore he has to have a lot of spell power and critical strike rating on his gear. Retribution Paladins are good melee dpsers and for a long time they were only PvP oriented. However, with the Wrath of the Lich King expansion even the Retri Paladins are more than welcome in raids and instances.
It doesn’t really matter if you play PvP or PvE more, all other players will highly respect you because of your blessings. Blessing of Might (BoM) gives the party members additional attack power and therefore feral druids, rogues, dps warriors and hunters love it. They also have Blessing of Wisdom which gives mp5 (Mana Per 5 Seconds) and is preferred by the healers and Blessing of Kings (BoK) which enhances all stats by 10%. BoK is basically the most favorite blessing of all since any class can make good use of it especially tanks. For more information on WoW class guides, read our review: Warcraft Pros Guide Review
Same as the Priest class, a Paladin class can also resurrect and dispel. The most popular Paladin spell is surely “the bubble”. With this spell a Paladin can shield himself from any harm and become immune to any kind of damage spell cast towards him. Paladins wear armor made from plate which gives them extra durability and armor. Unlike Warriors and Death Knights Paladins need mana and they are depended on it no matter if they choose to be tanks, healers or melee damage dealers and therefore their gear needs to have intellect and mp5.
Crit is also essential for his spells since a Paladin has the ability to gain mana back each time his spell crits. While playing in PvE you will surely have a nice time with a Pala since you can change his build any time you like and still be very useful to your friends or guild mates. In PvP, with the right kind of gear healing and melee dps Paladins also rule and are highly appreciated.

In this World of Warcraft Horde guide you’ll find some tips on leveling your character with grinding and questing. Once you’ve reached level 60 things get a lot more interesting with the Burning Crusade and then onto WOTLK.
Grinding can make you some really good amounts of gold but it gets really boring as well. So we’ll look at grinding up to level 20 and then switch over and talk about some questing.
This guide will start at level 11 just because the first levels are easy and you won’t be able to do much grinding there. Although you can just grind during the initial leveling phase, don’t pass by instance opportunities. They slow leveling down a bit, but on the plus side you’ll get some great gear that can make leveling a lot easier later on.

Warcraft Horde guide to grinding your way to level 20:
Levels 11 & 12
Try grinding the following: Greater Plainstrider, Barrens Giraffe, and Savannah Prowler. All of these are located in Rarchet and Crossroads. If you want to get some really good experience points then I recommend you grind the Corcolisks in the river.
Levels 13 to 16
You can either continue grinding the zones mentioned previously or you can change it up and travel south to grind the Southsea Bandits and Cannoneers.
Levels 17 to 20
Initially you should go over to Norwatch and grind the Theramore Marines. Once you’ve gotten yourself to level 19 it’s time to travel to South Barrens where you can grind the Stormhides.
Now for the quests. This World of Warcraft Horde guide will get you started on some quests.
You need to do a few quests and then travel north to Stonetalon Mountains. The following list is of the initial quests you need to complete.
In Crossroads:
- Letter to Jin’ Zil
- Report to Kadrak
- Deepmoss Spider Eggs
In Ratchet:
Once you’ve done these go ahead to Stonetalon Mountains where you’ll do some MOBs and quests. Check out the following list to get you started.
Warcraft Horde Guide Level 20
MOBs:
Quests:
- Killing Drundig Darkcloud
- Blood Feeders- West on Path to Malaka’Jin
- Super Reaper 6000- West and then West before the fork
- Goblin Invaders- North up north fork in Windshear Crag
- Boulderslide Ravin
- Shredding Machines
- The Elder Crone
These quests should have gotten you half way through level 21 at least. It’s a little beyond the scope of this World of Warcraft Horde Guide to get into leveling further, but the thing to remember is that grinding may be good for making gold but to have more fun and get some really good gear do quests. Just have a good balance and you’ll have more fun, level well, and earn gold at the same time.
