Mage, Paladin, Hunter, which one should you choose? Well, personally, we like the Paladin, because they are a versatile character to play on WoW. Do you think you would like to play a Paladin? Check out your direction by way of healer, tank or DPS, it’s up to you. This all depends on the tree you’ve selected. Sure, with a Paladin, you may have some disadvantages (that is true with any character), but there are still many advantages. When you first start out in WoW, the Paladin will be easy to solo. When is going solo fun? When you’re able to take on those enemies alone and not only that but on autopilot!
When you first start out, Paladins will have a wide array of weapons and armor that you will be able to choose from. When you select your gear, you will need to search for ones that are high in Stamina and Defense. Defense and Stamina are your two most important attributes that you should keep high. Taking on damage is all about stamina and that’s truly one of the great things for the paladin. Defense is all about how much it takes before you start to receive that damage.
What about the Weapons?
With the weapons, you will be able to choose either two handed or single handed weapons. If you solo a lot, then you may want to choose two-hand weapons. The advantage to the single hand weapon is the fact that you will have the ability to equip a shield. If you plan on tanking, then single hand weapons are great. You will also be able to choose swords or maces. Regarding maces, well, with these you’re going to do some really great bashing damage, and the sword of course provides the cool edged weapon damage.
By the way there are great guides out there for the Paladin, and you’ll find a great PVP Paladin Guide tips on WoWhacked.com.
Spell Types for Paladins
We also enjoy how the Paladin has a trio of different spell types. Blessings can be used in order to boost the target player’s stats and abilities. Seals are self-cast and will boost the status. All Paladins also come equipped with the ability to heal both themselves and the other player. We recommend you going down the Retribution talent tree as it is a bit of everything.
Diverse Character with Many Options
The Paladin is for those individuals that enjoy playing a diverse character that has many options to choose from. Leveling a Paladin can be very fun. Make sure you find a good WoW Paladin guide if you would like to level that Paladin successfully.
If you feel like a newb and even maybe just like you’re missing out on a lot of cool stuff because of a poor character, then you’ll want to check out our review of Dugi’s Ultimate WoW Guide. Look for it at WoWHacked.com!

Engineering is definitely one of the most fun professions in WoW. Engineers have a task to combine and create various parts in order to produce various useful items and even junk. Engineers can make a lot of bombs, bullets and guns, goggles, weird pets and even motorbikes and flying machines.
A lot of players chose to level up Engineering not only because it’s fun but also because of some special items like a Flying Machine which is a fantastic flying mount. This is a flying mount that requires 300 skill in Engineering and you can obtain schematics for this fantastic mount in Shadowmoon Valley at Niobe Whizzlespark. Click here for more on WoW Engineering
Is Engineering difficult to level up?
Engineering doesn’t looks like the other professions. It requires time and patience but it will certainly prove to be fun. If you want to speed up the leveling a bit you should take the Mining profession as well because you will need a lot of metal bars and gems. It is possible to level it even without Mining, but then the whole process will be much more expensive since you will need to buy the mats on the Auction House.
What can an Engineer make?
Engineers are famous for their items and creativity and are also known for their junk! Don’t let the junk fool you though because an Engineer can craft some great items as well.
Think in example about the repair bots and jumper cables that Engineers can make. The Repair Bots have proved to be very useful in instances and raids where all the players can repair after wipe and continue without the need to run out and repair somewhere else. Bots are used to speed up the process and make it more convenient.
Goblin Jumper Cables are usually used by Hunters or Rogues. If their party dies, Rogues and Hunters can Stealth or Feign Death and once the mobs have gone back to their starting positions these classes can try to resurrect a healer whom will then be able to resurrect the entire party or raid. This way you will save your group a lot of time traveling and rezing.
Other popular items are the epic goggles which are worn as a headpiece and do not only make Engineers look cool, they also give nice stats. For the best leveling guide click here: WoW Ultimate Guide Review
Specs for Engineers
An Engineer, similar to a Blacksmith or a Tailor, can specialize in different fields of his profession. When you reach skill of 200 you will be given a choice of specialization. It can be either Gnomish Engineering or Goblin Engineering. What is different about these two specializations is the place where you end up when you use the teleportation device and the trinket. Gnomish Engineers can use Transporter - Gadgetzan & Transporter - Toshley’s Station while Goblin Engineers can use Dimensional Ripper - Everlook & Dimensional Ripper - Area 52.
Engineering since the latest expansion
The latest WOTLK expansion resulted in a positive change when it comes to all professions. Reason for this is that Engineers can now make motorcycles! Alliance players can make their motorcycles with The Mekgineer’s Chopper schematic while Horde players can make it with Mechano-hog schematic. Getting all the materials together is quite time-taking and expensive but nevertheless the popularity of these motorcycles is growing each day.
Engineers and their pets
With all the crazy gadgets Engineers can play with, pets are the most fun ones. You can make two different pets namely the Bombling and LiL’ Smoky. Both recipes can be obtained in Gnomeregan, a level 28-35 instance located in Dun Morogh. If you would like more on WoW Leveling, click here: WoW Guide

Paladins are a very versatile class. You can fill whatever role is needed in the instance. Thanks to your Blessings, Auras, and Judgments, you can fill a lot of different roles. Not only that, but if your character is specced properly, you can switch from role to role in an instant. This is great, but it can be confusing, and difficult to perform well in each role when you need to. This is why having access to a top-notch Paladin PvE Guide comes in handy.
What Can a Top-Notch Paladin PvE Guide Teach You?
Since your character can do so many different things, you often end up with a lot of responsibility during a raid. Depending on the circumstances and the composition of your party, you may need to play as a Protection Paladin, or as a healer, or even as an offtank. So a top-notch Paladin PvE Guide will teach you how to play all those roles.
But as a Paladin, you will often be called upon to change roles in the middle of a fight. You could be playing as the primary tank for a small group, when your healing abilities are suddenly needed. Or it could go the other way around. There’s no way to know. This means a good PvE Guide will show you the best ways to switch from one role to another in the middle of a battle.
To do that, you’re going to need to have an almost intuitive understanding of the sets of spells you have to offer in each role and be able to switch smoothly between them in the middle of a fight. This isn’t simple stuff, and a top-notch PvE guide will have a lot to teach you about how to do this without confusion and lost time.
To summarize, the best Paladin PvE Guide shows you how to be the best at each of the roles you may be called on to fill in a raid, along with how to switch between them quickly and efficiently. Pulling this off is tough. You’re going to need all the advice you can get from a top-notch PvE Guide to get the job done.
Are you ready to elevate your Paladin to the elite among raiders? If that’s the case you’ve found the Paladin PvE Guide you need. Grab your copy of the PvE Bible right now at http://The-PvEBible.com

This WoW druid guide should get you headed in the right direction when you’re starting out with a druid.
You can use many different play styles when playing a Druid. Druids are shape shifters which allows them to be a hybrid class. This is the reason that it is one of the most versatile classes in the whole game. It does not matter if you want to end up Raiding or doing PvP, the Druid is a perfect class for either.
Just like with the rest of the Classes in World of Warcraft, the Talents for druids are split into three categories, or trees. Let’s take a look at what each of the druid talent trees can offer.
The Balance Tree which focuses on damage spells that will make the druid a very efficient spell damage dealer. Healing Spells, that are crucial to any good healer, will be modified by some Balance talents. There are others that help you when in feral forms.
The Feral Tree focuses on shape shifting which allows you to become a cat, bear, or dire bear. These forms will allow you to tank or focus on melee DPS. Learning when to change between forms will be your most important task. If specializing in the Moonkin form, you need huge amounts of maximum Mana, and some Feral Combat talents will modify it.
The Restoration Tree focuses on healing spells, making the druid a very efficient healer, especially because of the Tree of Life form that druids learn by investing in this talent tree. Some of the Restoration talents, such as Furor, will allow the druid to use Rage while in the Cat and Bear forms. The Natural Shape Shifter talent decreases the mana cost required for shape shifting by 30%.
Playing as a druid can have some drawbacks however. Because druids can do so many things it can be hard to focus on one strategy. It is also a necessity to carry enough equipment for your character in order to fill the needs of all of your forms. They will all require different gear sets.

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.
