Hello all...just bought WOW (TBC is on the way) and was wondering whats the best race/class to play? Any other advice for a new player (like which server has the most local players)? Looking forward to meeting you guys in game.

It's class-dependant.

Simple guides.

Do a bit of research instead of expecting to be spoon fed.

As for which servers to choose, you can see some of the recruitment threads going around.

Again, do a bit of research.

yet again for another newb asking silly questions to get gasak by the forumers...
/cheer... gasak time...

Actually, was thinking that we probably need to make an FAQ posting with all the usual answers.

At least tolong them a bit lah. But a lot of effort. Any volunteers?

And seriously, those old pinned-ups needs to be put down

Read them and I think I might start a gnome mage or maybe a BE mage once I get my TBC.

The frost talent seems really good but I'm a newbie so I really don't know as much.

Sorry mate, was overly excited about getting my hands on WoW after so long when I posted this. Will you forgive me?

So true chaichai. .

Now thats a great idea. And thanks again myremi.

muahah welcome to the darkside of wow jeremy lolz

Frost mages are an interesting class to play but gear dependant at level 70 and also on knowing how to maximise DPS. I know a Frost Mage who out-DPSes the Fire Mages in the guild. Never below the 950 DPS mark for any boss fight. Regularly hits 1000 DPS.

Also, being a Frost Mage, there's alot of stigma to it that a lot of people think they do not have enough DPS. Like I said, gear dependant. Gameplay, I heard it's just usually Frostbolt, frostbolt, frostbolt.

Once you hit 70, head over to www.elitistjerks.com for information overload.

frost mage basically their frost spells is lesser compare wif the fire mage, so wif a bit of arcane tree to boost the damage, i think can over dps a fire mage.

Gnome Warlock
Undead Warlock
Tauren Warr
Orc Hunter

Please do some research

PVE vs PVP server
Racial for each races ( A lot of alliance esp human now crying about racial imbal )

If you need to choose BE, roll a paladin.


Less hunter more warr/healing class please

since u r new and know little about the game , roll a hunter since it very easy to play , any race will do. experience the game in-hand urself. then read more by searching the internet of the things u don't understand.

Hee hee hee... I remember a time when you had a lot of questions too.

Now qualified to make those statements eh?

LOL !!! got back fired. we need to guide more player to the darkside, dun shoot them >< lure them ~~~

I'm getting tired being an easy target in BG as a tauren hunter even with 390 resil...warr still 2-3 shotted me, well this main solely for farming and I'm leveling an Orc Warrior.


Hunter is easy to play but hard to get spot in dungeon unless heroics ( CC / kite )

I'm enjoying my orc warrior atm, still at 24 with level 19 twink items.
5% hardiness & AP buff makes my day.

cant go wrong being a warlock.

Hunters easy to play yes. But not easy to play well. And that's the heart of the problem with hunter classes.

The only way that you'll get into dungeons is to lead them yourself. Rather than wait for invites, you are the one dropping the invite.

if ur at 390 resil and warriors 2-3 shot you i call bullshit. cuz i doubt warriors can dish out AT LEAST 10-11k dmg within 2-3 shots.

it depends on what class u like to play. all the races are quite balance to each class with likely 5% stats wise diffrent to each others. as for class, try a few so that u know which u love most to play with.

just create some toons n go play em for a bit...
u'll eventually stumble across the class+race u'll like the most..
works for me..

Roll a Shaman on a PVP server.

Nuff said.

Edit: Spec Enhancement too
