Lead 5 mans. Not that hard what.

It's all the tanks fault! Hee hee...just kidding.

When it comes to raiding, don't think that you gear up only through raids. Because if you're getting into a progressive raiding guild, they will not take you.

Why?

• It does not how initiative in getting ready for the raid if you do not have gears from Badge Rewards, Heroics or PVP. The argument that PVP gear doesn't have enough hit rating doesn't mean that you can't use 1-2 pieces of PVP gear, which are some of the best in-game. With badge and heroic rewards, those are within your reach so gear up with those gear pronto. There's really no excuses and if you have to pug, pug it. Not every heroic pug is a bad pug.
• The other thing about having good gear from Badges, Heroics and PVP is that it shows that you know how to keep yourself occupied outside of raid times. The guild isn't there to always "hold your hand" when it comes to having to help you 24/7.
• Another good things about pug is that you may get lucky by pugging with the potential guild you're planning to apply. But provided you know how to play well. If you don't know how to play well, you will not get an edge over the rest of the competition.
• Show good knowledge about your character in your application. Short answers like "I press the key spells/attack moves that are for rogues" doesn't show that your abilities will shine.
• Take whatever Jas says with a pinch of salt. I swear his the most negative person on this forum because of his experience. That is his experience, not the rest of us.

Candlejack/Jas : I've a Level 30 warrior. Pet project put aside to get epic flight form for my Lvl 70 feral druid. It started out to see how the different warrior builds would be like at lvl 70 as well as getting to know how to handle a warrior.

The openings for recruiting a DPS warrior is competitive. But once you're known on the pug circuit that you're good at dishing out the neccesary DPS, it's easier to get into a raiding guild. Unfortunately, the warrior class is very gear based so you have to do a lot of gearing up.

But DPS warriors bring added raid buffs to the melee group. Unfortunately, in 25-mans, there's probably only one group for melee only i.e. 4-5 ppl max. DPS warriors in the tanking group also helps the Prot Warrior to manage his rage better by taking over some of the debuff/buff duties.

If your guild bans pugging, it sounds like there is an issue with lack of players online to even form guild runs. The best way to attract good players is to do pugs, see how they perform and if they're good, throw them an invite into the guild. Seems like a waste opportunity to not pug heroics now and again. You never know when you'll see a better player out there with different ways of doing things or different strategies. Plus to brush up on your skills.

froz3nnoob : Don't get too discouraged. It's good to try out different classes. You can understand their roles better in party / raid mode. Opportunities are not easy to come back but that doesn't mean that one should get dissapointed when you hit the first few stumbling blocks.

Quaz : some of the pvp stuff could be easier to reach due to the RNG in instances. Also some of the weapons are best in-game outside of Hyjal/BT. Some pieces are good for PVE, like the Medallion of Alliance for Winterchill. And yes, I'm edging u on.

From that Wiki page : It is strongly recommended that all players (with the possible exception of the mages who can blink out of the Ice Tomb) equip the Level 70 PvP trinket in order to survive.

Calm down. You're becoming like a ruffled chicken.

And until the day arrives when Blizz will completely segregate PVP and PVE, I'm planning to make full use of PVP gear as well.

1) Slightly more avoidance in total but you lose from the racials.

2) Stat points are fix yes but you get a Talent Tree where you can play around with to get 2 types of DPS warrior and 1 Prot warrior builds. Builds are your distribution of talents points.

3) Raid = http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/raidgroups.html. Baca lah!

I think it's somewhere on WoWWiki about Starting a Character and there's a link to the different racials out there. Also, size does matter e.g. gnomes are hard to target with a mouseclick in PVP matches since they are so small.

1) http://www.wowwiki.com/Racial_trait . Different racials give different results. We just go for looks.

3) Never played RO , believe or not. Someone else have to answer that question.

Eh? What's that gotta do with WoW?
