I think the guide is great. However I disagree with what you say about warlocks. Warlocks can’t be healers. They can heal themselves in non combat and create health stones which provide a small one time heal but that’s it. They cannot be healers.

Its pretty legit. only one thing, imo dwarves make the best rogues for pvp (belf’s also). StoneForm removes bleeds which is very important in vanishing and opening again or just plain old getting away.

i think tauren hunters are very good if you know how to play them and very underrated, other than that great guide

Very good guide!
A few notes and recapping the other comments:
1 add Belf and Space Goat races
2 racials have changed in WotLK
3 Warlock section is quite off – ask a Lock player to write that one for you maybe? **warlocks act as healers in groups? Since when?
4 Emphasize the Shaman’s healing abilities
5 Emphasize the Tankadins
6 At least mention the Mage’s AoEs
7 Druids in Tree form are amazing healers.
8 Substitue “healer” for “act as a priest” multiple times

For groups here’s my humble opinion:
Best heals? Shaman – Earth Shield is a huge passive heal, triggered when the tank takes damage – good HoT – and chain heal is the most mana-efficient heal in the game. Also the most/best group/raid buffs.
Best tank? Paladin – two taunts (one that targets 3), good AoE – great at holding aggro on many mobs at once (better than DireBear or Warrior)
Best DPS? Well you really want to mix and match a little. If I had my pick it would be a mage, warlock, and one other. The mage and lock do massive ranged DPS. I like the hunter for it’s range but the vast majority of hunters are not very good players, often wiping a group while they survive with fiegn death (it’s like salt in a wound). They believe they are the “expert pullers.” The rogue does sweet DPS but require melee range, stealth, and many rogue players refuse to let the tank lead. So either a non-retarded hunter or rogue, or basically any other dps class for that third DPS spot. Druid’s give sweet buffs…
1 Paladin tank
2 Shaman healer
3 Mage dps
4 Warlock dps
5 …whatever… Huntard, Rogue, or Druid

Great guide. I think some of the information is opinionated, but most of it was fact and easy to comprehend for the people who really don’t know much about the classes to begin with. Thank you

Good guide, although I do think that Mages should be put down as “Unless you can manage mana to the point that somebody wants to hire you for it, dont role Mage.”

Im a Blood Elf Mage
