See, this is where I get overwelmed. There are so many things I don't understand in mmorpgs, yet I'm picking up WoW on my lunchbreak today.RickinMich wrote:Jp.. I played every race and every class in the beta. Took all characters to at least 10th lvl to get a feel for them.
My favorite char by far, based on it's sheer versatility, is the Shaman. I got an orc shaman up to 31st in beta and now to 22nd in retail. The shaman has excellent ranged nukes, a couple of DoT's, can heal (other chars and your own) and buff (tho buffs are thru the use of totems, which are cool in and of themselves). Finally, he's more than an above average melee char. Also, at 20th lvl, you get Ghost Wolf, which is like a shape change that gives you a 40% speed increase. There's nothing cooler than a group of 4 or 5 shamans running in wolf form. When you're ready for a change from Fearme... try either an orc or tauren shaman and enjoy. Rick
What does AGGRO mean? I understand it has to do with drawing the attention of a mob to you, but what does it stand for.
What are buffs? DoT's?
I'm planning on playing either a Shaman or a Rogue and I understand I'll need to use macros when playing a rogue. Are they easy to setup?
What other words do I need to know?
The extent of my RPG experience is broken down below:
Zelda
Secret of Mana (favorite)
Chrono Trigger
Shadow Run
Baulders Gate
Knights of the Old Repulic
SWG (belch)
DAoC
Thanks in advance!
What are ranged nukes?
