Worgen Leveling Guide - Make It Fast and Easy for 1 to 85

World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King, when this expansion came out, it introduced Deathknights. Whereas the expansion known as Cataclysm introduced two new types of races and one of them is widely known as Worgen. Worgen are not much different from Deathknights, except that they are having their own starting zone and that is known as Gilneas.

For those players who look forward to level a Worgen, must complete levels from 1-15 and that too in Gilneas. The levelling challenge in Worgen is not what you will experience in the Gilneas, which is the starting zone because it is something anyone can achieve in matter of hours. The main challenge will began from level 16-85 where everything is reshaped and new quests are there to slow you down and every piece of knowledge from previous expansion will seem very little.

Many new options are there for you to make levelling easy such as map indicators and things like quest tracking but still it is all up to the player to discover the ways to level fast. It is all about the path you choose to take as a Worgen.

The term quest path may be confusing you here but it can simply be described as the order in which you are completing your quest. If you are having an optimal and well designed quest path, you can get yourself levelling fast otherwise you will spend or most likely waste your time in wandering here and there. If you are able to choose for yourself the best quest path, then you are having the ultimate and quick tool for levelling the Worgen.

If you are having a quest path, even if you go to a new city, you would be aware of the order and by following that, you will be able to level your Wardon. But imagine you are having no idea about the quest givers, you are equipped with no knowledge of what quests they are going to provide you with and what will be the end result of those quests, then levelling is out of question and you will just be wasting your precious time.

Keep two important things in mind. Do as much research as you can and go for purchasing a path, as this can be a good investment for those players who are willing to level many of the classes at a time.

World of Warcraft Cataclysm Warlock Leveling Guide

The Warlock class is quite easy to level. With an arsenal of different pets that can tank, increase health, silence targets and stun people, leveling in cataclysm is easy. The warlock's main damage come from the socalled DoTs (Damage over Time) as well as their pet. They also have an ability named Life tap, which converts some of your Hit Points into mana which is great for when you're at 100% Hit points and under 100% mana. There are some AoE (Area of Effects) that the Warlock have, not as many as a mage but still useful.

Remember to always use the Create Healthstone and Create Soulstone abilities, The healthstone works just like a health potion, it will restore your health. The Soulstone will make you able to ress at the place where you died, in other words you won't have to corpse run, this is a real timesaver and you should have this on you at any time possible.

I recommend that you stay with the Affliction tree until you hit level 70.

The Affliction tree is focused on increasing your DoT damage, as well as giving you some nice extra spells and improved versions of your other DoT spells. You should get the Improved Life Tap, Improved Corruption, Soul Siphon/Siphon Life for starters, max out the amount of talents in these (3/3, 2/2, 5/5 etc).

Now put 2/2 in Doom and Gloom, get the Curse of Exhaustion and then put 3/3 in Eradication. Go ahead and get Soul Swap after this, and 3/3 Shadow Embrace and the 2/2 Improved Howl of Terror. Put 2 Talent points in Nightfall and get Soulburn: Seed of Corruption (SoC) Then put 3/3 in Death's Embrace, 3/3 in Everlasting Affliction, 2/2 Pandemic and then the last thing in the Affliction tree, Haunt. Now you should either start putting talent points in Demonology or switch spec completely because of the Metamorphosis talent in the Warlocks Demo tree.

If you decide to change your spec (talents) from Affliction to Demonology, then use these talents:

3/3 Demonic Embrace, 2/2 Spell Synergy, Then go ahead and put 2/2 in Mana Feed and 2/2 Demonic Aegis and 2/2 Demonic Rebirth. Then go ahead and get Demonic Empowerment, 3/3 Impending Doom, 3/3 Molten Core, Hand of Gul'dan and 2/2 Aura of Foreboding.

Then choose Inferno, 2/2 Decimation, 2/2 Ancient Grimoire, 2/2 Cremation and Demonic Pact. Now you'll have 1 point left for the Metamorphosis, put the last point in Master Summoner, then get Metamorphosis and put the other point in Master Summoner, after this you should just spend the remaining points in the Affliction tree in the same order as I showed you a few lines above this.

World of Warcraft Cataclysm Warrior Leveling Guide

Some of you gamers might like leveling as a Prot warrior, sure it works with the Shield slam and Revenge, Shockwave can be nice as well. But if you really want to hit 85 fast then I recommend The Fury tree. The Titan's Grip talent will enable you to wield Two 2-handed weapons, but it works just fine if you don't have it yet, just use x2 1 handers, or a 2h if you got a really good one.

I'll tell you which ones will be the best Warlock build for your Cataclysm leveling below.

First off, put 3 talent points in Blood Craze. Now 2/2 in Cruelty. Get the Piercing Howl ability after this because this one is great for when you're fighting multiple mobs/players and want to get away. Now put 2/2 talents in Executioner and 2/2 in Rude Interruption. After that you should get Death Wish, this one will increase your damage significantly. Then put 3/3 in Flurry and 3/3 in Enrage. Now take the Raging blow and Rampage (You have to get Raging blow before being able to get rampage). Then get the Heroic Fury, this one is great if you're slowed by a rogue or an enemy that's about to kill you. And then 2/2 Die by the Sword, this one is great for survivability and will save you a corpse run several times during leveling to 85.

Keep putting points in the Fury tree, never put anything in Arms or Prot if I don't tell you to. Now, get the Furious Attacks, 2/2 Meat Cleaver and 2/2 Intensify Rage. Put 3/3 in Bloodsurge and 2/2 in Skirmisher and now you'll be able to get the best of them all, Titan's Grip. Get this one, of course, as well as Single-Minded Fury.

You'll now be at level 75 and we're about to move over to the Arms tree.

Get 3/3 War Academy in the fury tree then move over to the Protection tree and choose 3/3 Inocite.

After this you'll only have talent point left for your warrior build, it's not really important where you put this because everything that's left got about the same value to leveling, but Field Dressing is quite nice if you ask me.

Get two nice 2-handed weapons (Swords, Maces, axes) and start owning it up, the good thing about this Warrior build is that it's great survivability, nice self healing and of course, great for leveling. This one is also nice for PvPing (Player vs Player) but if you're going to do BG/Arenas fulltime then Arms is the best build. You can use the dual spec on these two ones because Fury is awesome in PvE, and Arms is awesome in PvP.

World of Warcraft Rogue Information

The Rogue got a straight goal in the game, doing damage. The Rogue class is the only melee class that isn't a Hybrid, like warriors can be dps and tanks, same with Death knights, paladins and druids. They do good in both PvP (Player vs Player) and PvE (Player vs Environment) and top the damage meters quite often. For doing attacks, a rogue needs energy, which starts at 100 and goes down for every attack, but it quickly goes back up. Some of your abilities will make a dot, a 'combopoint' which makes your finishing move hit harder/last longer. You can use your finishing moves when you have 1 up to 5 combopoints on your target.

They're also known for their Stealth ability which basically makes them invisible until they want to attack, or when hunters flairs them out of it, damn hunters. The Rogues also have great survival abilities like Evasion, Vanish, Dismantle, Blind, Kidney/cheap shot etc.

The demand of Crowd Control in instances has increased in Cataclysm so the rogues Sap makes them attractive for a party, they kick ability and all the stuns makes them even more wanted. They can dish out high amounts of stable damage on bosses and blind ads if needed.

The stuns, or 'Stunlocks' as they're called is essential in PvP (Player vs Player). Stuinlocking and using the new cloud ability that was unlocked in cataclysm while 3 of your arena partners attack the target is quite a successful strategy in arena, as well as the new Rated Battlegrounds. Some good Rogues are able to 100-0 players before the stun ends, but you need good gear for this so don't expect to kill a 100k hit points warrior with your newly dinged Rogue during a stunlock.

Rogues also have an arsenal of poisons which can be applies to their weapons, they can do DoTs (Damage over Time), reduce healing, instant damage and of course slow down the casting speed.

Most Rogues are undead, which is probably because they look awesome but they have some useful racials, Will of The Forsaken, which works like a trinket on all fear effects, high shadow resistance and being able to eat dead mobs to gain health which is useful for when you're out of food and bandages.

There 3 different talent trees, Assassination, Combat, and Subtlety. Combat is for leveling and PvE, Assassination for PvE and PvP and Subtlety for pure PvP because the sub tree recently got buffed, and of course Neilyo use it so every arena Rogue will follow in his footsteps.

World of Warcraft Warrior Information and Builds

The Warrior class is one of the top melee contributors of the game, they can do both Damage Dealing and tanking. Most people think of Warriors like a tank-only class but it couldn't be more far from the truth. They do great damage in PvE (Player vs Environment) and PvP (Player vs Player). Many of the high ranked Arena teams/Rated BG teams have Warriors on their team. They can wield every melee weapon in the game, the most common is the 2-hander which is great for pvp, two 2-handers or two 1-handers in PvE as a dps and 1h+shield for PvE Tanking. They use Rage for their abilities, which increases every time you hit a player, you always start with 0 rage and build it up to a maximum of 100. The Rage mechanics works like the Hunters "Energy".

The Warriors have different stances to choose from. Defensive Stance is used for tanking or when you're getting low hit points in Arena/Rated BG/PvP. The Defensive Stance reduces all damage attacks against you by 10%. It also increases your Threat by 10% which is awesome for when you're tanking in a dungeon.

Then we have Battle Stance. This one doesn't give you any + stats, nor does it decrease them. This is what most warriors start with before changing stance because you're able to Charge people in this stance which costs you 0 rage.

And the last one is Berserker Stance which increases your critical strike chance by 3% but it does increase all attacks made to you by 10%, this can be useful in PvP when you're going to nuke down an enemy player. But be careful because you can get nuked quite fast if you're in this stance. And keep in mind that there are some "stance only" attacks which require you to be in a specific stance to be used.

The Warrior class is strong and can take quite a beating, mostly because of their ability to wield Plate Armor as well as a shield + the Defensive Stance can make you almost unkillable. Warriors tend to have a so called "Personal Healer" in Battle grounds and Arenas, which means they got a healer that's always focusing on that specific Warrior and healing him up every time his health falls under 90%.

Always have a shield in your bag, both for leveling, PvPing, and PvEing. If you're, for example, doing Dps in an instance and suddenly the tank dies, then the people in your party will count on you to whip out that shield and tank the mobs. Try to get Dual Wield as early as you can, because people always need tanks for instances and the queues are just seconds so you'll be able to finish your Daily Dungeon fast.
