god priestFollow

There is no god like char, as there are more aspects to WoW as there are to D2. WoW is a MMORPG, that means there are several roles a player can fit. Some of them are:

- Tanking (withstanding getting hit)
- Damage Dealer (dealing out lot's of damage)
- Healing (well, healing ;))
- Crowd Control (handle additional attackers)

In addition, there is PvP vs. PvE, which has different "key" issues.

So, if you want to be the best damage dealer you might have to chose rogue for melee or mage for magic. If you want to be the toughest guy you might want to chose warrior or paladin. Shaman is a very versatile and very good class as well.

However, I doubt you will ever find what you are looking for in WoW based on your post. There simply is no god like char that can walk around and kill everything easily. If there were, everybody would chose it and the game would be no fun. There are, however, god like chars for a certain aspect. For example, a priest specified on holy talents is THE best healer hands down.

Also, if anyone ever finds a setup that would put a specific class above all others significantly, I bet Blizzard would change (nerf) it. Balance is the key to a success of a MMORPG and Inbalance is VERY deadly to it, opposed to Single Player Games, where Inbalance doesn't hurt it too much. It's more or less the same like chosing between easy - normal or hard game.

Well, the mage has some very nice tools. First of all, he can cast a magic shield (frost armor) that even lowers the attack speed when he gets hit. In addition he gets Transfiguration (not sure if that's the real spell name) where he can morph an enemy into a sheep, stopping it from attacking. He can also summon food and drink so he regains mana and HP pretty fast. He's an excellent class to solo and probably THE main damage dealer in a group, if he watches the aggro ;)

The rogue on the other hand has some great advantages as well. He can stealth around and open from behind with Backstab and do a lot of damage. He get's dual wield and is like a killing machine. But at the same time, he has to watch his aggro as he doesn't have the armor or Hit Points of a warrior. Also since he offers a lot of abilities, he's pretty tough to play as there are a lot of styles you can chose from (keep enemies stunned, fast kills etc.). Oh and he also gets Sap, with which he can "put out" a standing enemy.

In my stomach I have the feeling that the mage suits you better. He gets some very nice damage spells that are fun to use because you see the huge numbers over the enemy. He is also very good in escaping bad situations (he can frost the attackers around him and run away or turn them into sheep) and he is independent regarding food and drink. The rogue is fun to play but needs exactly the flipping through skills which you don't like.

My advise would be: try a mage for 10 or 15 levels, then do the same for the rogue. Then pick what you like more. I guess it's the mage though.

Why did you post this nonsence? According to your bio you have a level 35 priest name Azra'il allready?

Judging by your posts, you should be a rogue. You seem like the kind of guy who'd get the reputation as a priest that wastes all his mana on attack spells in a group, or the mage that goes all out to get aggro and die (ie, you sound like you'd suck at both those jobs and end up blacklisted by everyone). Oh, and if someone like you joined my guild, I'd quit. Your posts make you look like a moron and the kind of guy that everyone hate in MMORPG. Your best bet is to create a new Allakhazam's account and try again. Seriously, I've never seen such stupid posts and you're obvioulsy not suited for the social apsect of a MMORPG.

A few things you should know before you start a new thread.

1.) The game is out of circulation for now. No Blizzard has not said when it will start up again. Yes it sucks. They are trying to make the game better overall by doing this, so suck it up and bear with them. There is a press release here for those of you interested. If you do decide to try and get it, EBgames seems to be a place that you can get it off and on as of late. You just might get lucky.

2.) This game is not: FFXI, EQ, EQ2, CoH, SWG or ANY other MMORPG on the market. So making endless (and I mean endless) posts about WoW vs all the other games is pointless. Stop it, it's getting old.

3.) There is no "best race or class". Some classes excel in certain areas and suck in others. They all have their strong and weak points. All races are the same after level 10, it does not matter which race/class combination you choose, you will not be "gimped" for your choice.

4.) There is currently no Honor system in the game. So the level ?? player that just ganked you, recieved absolutely no penalty. There will be rewards put into place for PvP in the future and you will be able to gain Honor for killing higher level players. There will never be a penalty for killing lower levels though.

5.) I realize many of you came from FFXI. I myself left FFXI for this game. THIS IS NOT FINAL FANTASY XI. If you want to talk about that game, go to those forums. Myself and many others are sick of hearing yet another post on the WORLD OF WARCRAFT forums about FFXI.

6.) It's spelled Rogue, not rouge. The definitions are as follows:

Rogue

A). An unprincipled, deceitful, and unreliable person; a scoundrel or rascal.
B). One who is playfully mischievous; a scamp.
C). A wandering beggar; a vagrant.
D). A vicious and solitary animal, especially an elephant that has separated itself from its herd.
E). An organism, especially a plant, that shows an undesirable variation from a standard.

Rouge

A.) A red or pink cosmetic for coloring the cheeks or lips.
B.) A reddish powder, chiefly ferric oxide, used to polish metals or glass.

7.) Please use proper punctuation, grammar and spelling. This is a nice way to get your point across and you can avoid rate-downs. Personally, if something's so mauled I can't read it, I either A) Ignore it, or when I'm in a bad mood, B) Rate down and ignore.

8.) To cut down on the number of useless threads, the website you are on is Allakhazam. Over to your left (well, more like up and left) you will see many things. An item lookup, a bestiary, quest lookup, it's like a haven of goodies. Use these. If you can look up where the quest "Hidden Enemies" starts, please don't make a thread asking where it starts. Use your resources.

9.) You get smileys when you have premium. No there is not another way to use them unless you use ghetto emotes. You also get avatars (Those pictures under alot of posters names for those of you who didn't know) Premium is the only way to get both of these .

10.) You have to be a Scholar to rate people up or down. You get this by being rated up by others. Also you have to have more than 10 posts for others ratings to count on your name.

11.) For tradeskills questions go here.

12.) There is also an assortment of user written guides here. Things like, fishing, lockpicking, classes and more.

13.) All you people leaving FFXI go here and post your questions, comments or concerns. There is no need to start a new thread.


If you fail to pay attention to any of the above, do not complain, cry, whine, sob, sulk or throw a fit when you get flamed and/or karma bombed.

You say you don't group much, so that might be the reason why you haven't noticed it yet, but a LOT of people don't tolerate other players talking like you do. This includes removal from groups and guilds, being reported for spamming in /general or other channels, being ignored by players, being blacklisted by players, etc. If you posted using proper grammar, the difference in the replies you get would be huge. You'd see less bashing and more appropriate answers. I know people that listen to Eminem all day and do nothing but smoke pot and they don't act like asses. You can act like that all you want in real life, but in MMORPGs such behavior has NEVER been accepted.

1) FFXI=Final Fantasy Eleven (XI), its another MMORPG(Massivley Multiplayer Online ROle Playing Game.....see why we abbreviate it?) that many people switched over to WOW from.
2) yes, I play wow and im pretty sure the other guys/gals do too
3) hit enter, /t, hit space bar, type whoevers name you want to send a message too, hit space again then type your message and hit enter. hit enter, type /1, hit space then type your message and then everyone in the zone can hear you (dont abuse it, people dont like that). there are many other ways to communicate....but i wont go into them now theres to many.

Since no one has mentioned Hunter's I'll put a plug in for them :) I play a holy spec priest and often duo with a hunter and I'm forever amazed by his class. Hunters get a pet (whatever beast you feel like taming in all of WoW) at lvl 10 and the pet lvls with the hunter. The hunter I duo with currently is only lvl 37 but his pet can hold aggro with a taunt ability while the hunter stands back and shoots.

That being said, hunters are more of a ranged attackers then a melee but can do amazing things while soloing.

I just had to jump in here and remind everyone that there is a method for respeccing talent points that does not involve rerolling your character.

See any priest trainer to "unlearn your talents" for a marginal fee.

You're fired!!!

Could he have been satirizing others by using sarcasm? No, surely not.
