Wow has nine character classes that you can choose from.
However each race does not have access to every class. Each class has a set of unique abilities and talents.
Abilities are general skills and spells available to the entire class, while talents allow
players to specialize their character and further refine their role. Each class has a set
of talent trees split into 3. Using these trees and depending on what class you have chosen
you can build your talent tree for damage dealing (this is also known as DPS - damage per second),
tanking (warriors chiefly do this as can druids and rouges) or a combination of them.
The hybrid classes can choose different roles depending on what is required in their group
or situation they are in while on solo quests.
The following are the 9 classes availbable in World of Warcraft :
1) Druid
Hybrid class. Nature oriented, this is a class that is able of taking on the role of damage dealer,
tank, or even healer. The druid can shape-shift into several forms to increase its combat or
movement abilities. This includes a bear (excellent for tanking), a “moonkin” (to deal magical
damage long range), cat form (for melee combat), a tree (for healing), and a seal (to travel in water).
2)Hunter
Damage class. A combination of a marksman/archer. This is the animal specialist,
Ranged damage is what a hunter is specialist at using bows, crossbows, or guns with
an animal pet as help. The hunter also employs a series of traps for damaging or
disabling enemies with added abilities to track them.
3)Mage
Damage class. This is the wizard like class that deals long range damage with spells.
Mages use spells of the “arcane”, fire, and frost elements. Mages are also able conjure
food and water to replenish group members, and are able to transport themselves and
others to most major cities.
4)Paladin
Hybrid class. A heavily armored holy warrior.Same as the druids, paladins can specialize
to fill the three major roles in World of Warcraft.
5)Priest
Healer/damage class. A class that is not highly armored and able to both ehals and protect alles
using “holy” spells as well as dealing damage and harm to enemies using Shadow spells.
6)Rogue
Damage class. An assassin class that is specialized in “stealth manoeuvres” which allows them
to hide easily from enemies. They have as weapons dual-wielding small melee weapons, and
can lock pick, pick pockets and are adept at using poison..
7)Shaman
Hybrid class. Though they are hybrid like the paladins and druids the totem wielding shamans
are not really good at tanking. But they are very good healers and damage dealers when using
their melee weapons and spells.
8)Warlock
Damage class. You could say they are an hybrid class combining the best features of the hunter
and mage. They can issue magical damage as Mage can and have pets in the form of demons
(known as minions). You can both specialize in spells that have “damage over time” properties
giving slow damage but long term. Or you can specialize in dealing more direct damage all at once
damage like the Mage or Shaman are able to do.
9)Warrior
Tank/damage class. The most armored class in wow, warriors are general melee fighters able to
use any weapon that does not have magical properties. Warriors can specialize as either tanks or
damage dealers.
With the release of the Burning Crusade, the Paladins and Shaman classes are available to both factions
in Wow. Now Blood Elves (Horde) can become Paladins and Draenei (Alliance) can be Shamans.
Thus these classes have no longer the class exclusivity they once had.When the next expansion comes
along in the second half of 2008 in the form of the Wrath of The Lich King, there will be a tenth class
available that is called the “Death Knight”. This is to be the first of Hero Classes to come our way, paving
a very exciting time ahead for this very exctiing RPG game.
