What Your Guild Might Ask of You in a Raid

PvE Bible - WoW Pve Guide

When you start raiding for the first time, the biggest culture shock many players face is the fact that the character style they’re used to playing might not be good enough for the raid leader. There are players who, as Paladins, Druids, Warlocks, or Priests might be required to shift their talent specs, their style of play or their location in the raid according to who shows up on raid night and how many players are going into the raid. If you want to be drawn upon as much as possible and to prove that you are worth the efforts of your guild leaders, you need to be flexible and willing (plus able) to adapt quickly.

How Will You Adapt

To be fair, some classes don’t need to adapt all that much. Mages, Warlocks, and Warriors are not going to be asked to change what they do. They have roles in a raid that don’t change all that much. They might be asked to get a certain ability ready or to make certain items, but they’re not going to need to move. A Warrior with Protection spec is usually a tank, and Mages and Warlocks are always DPS (though Warlocks might on occasion prove useful as ranged OTs for short spurts).

However, those of you out there with hybrid classes such as the Paladin, Druid, Shaman, or Death Knight (and sometimes Priest), will find that your role in the fight becomes much more fluid. In some fights, a DK or Druid might prove to be a more effective tank for resistance reasons while Shamans might be great at support in one fight and work as off healers in another fight.

The long and short of it is that if you have abilities that work for tanking, dps and healing together on your character, you should be ready to use any of them at any time.

How Will I Know to Switch

In a raid, once the fight is started, you’ll almost always have a set position to work on. You’re not going to be tanking for one trash mob, then DPS for the next and then Healing on a boss. But, between bosses or instances as a whole, you might find that the needs of your raid party change and that is when you should be willing to switch.

Of course, you need to be honest. If you know nothing about DK tanking (it’s a tough role), you should say so upfront. Everyone in that raiding party is going to rely on the tank to keep them alive (by staying alive). If you fail to do that one thing repeatedly even when you claim to know what you are doing, your peers may not be pleased.

The Three Essential Keys to Playing a Good Raiding Tank

PvE Bible - WoW Pve Guide

There are two roles in raiding that can be among the hardest and most stressful in World of Warcraft. The first is that of a healer. The other is that of a tank. A tank is responsible for maintaining the focus of encounter bosses and trash mobs throughout an encounter, taking major damage and trying to hold agro with AoE threat attacks and numerous other cooldowns all at once.

One small mistake from a main tank can quickly lead to a raid wipe. So, it’s important that a tank knows exactly what they are doing before taking on such an important role. For those interested in tanking for their guild, here are three tips to ensure you are prepared for the demanding position you’re seeking:

1. Practice Often

Step one is to practice daily – ensuring that you get a good feel for how your character operates and what is expected of you. If you leveled up your character under a different talent spec (e.g. an Arms Warrior), then switch to your tanking spec and start practicing with it in PvE solo play. You can run daily quests or play around with your friends while getting acclimated to the different abilities that your character has available to them.

2. Start Off Small

Never start out by trying to tank a raid, no matter how many videos you’ve seen and practice you’ve completed. You should start out small, and by small it should be very small. Go on 5 man runs in Outland and learn how to pull an encounter and hold them in place. It may only take your team 15 seconds to kill bosses in those early instances, but the practice you gain by learning how your character operates as a tank is vital. You’ll never be able to gain that experience effectively with 24 other players filling your raid channel with expletives when you get them wiped.

Even when you’ve gotten to the point that you feel comfortable running those early 5 mans, move on to the Wrath 5 mans with teams, even before you hit heroic. You shouldn’t do anything challenging until you feel comfortable in the role of the Main Tank. That might take a few days or a few weeks to accomplish.

3. Gear and Consumables

All the knowledge and preparation in the world is meaningless if you’re not fully geared and stocked for an instance. A good tank needs to be as maxed out on his or her stats as possible for the instance you’re running. This means you should have 20,000+ HP for any 10 man raids before Ulduar and 25,000+ HP for any 25 man raids before Ulduar. After that, scale it accordingly to the gear you acquired during those earlier raids.

The same goes for consumables. Choose your buffs wisely, ensuring you get the necessary boosts to your Attack Power and Haste that are needed to keep your threat levels high and reduce the impact of high level bosses.

If you can do these three things and spend a good chunk of time preparing yourself effectively for what it takes to be a good raider, you might find that your guild quickly elevates you to a status of prominence. Good tanks are hard to come by. Prove you worth and you’ll be welcome for plenty of content to come.

Raiding Consumables – What You Really Need to Succeed in WoW

PvE Bible - WoW Pve Guide

When you start playing the raiding content in World of Warcraft, especially at the end-game level, you need every advantage you can get to ensure that you’re set for what the game can throw at you. This is why you must get your talent specs just right and have all the necessary rare or epic gear in place before raiding. It is the reason for having all your gem slots filled, your enchants maxed out and your glyphs topped off. And ultimately, it is why you need to stock up on all the consumables that will boost key stats while you are in a fight.

There are a few different kinds of consumables you’ll need to have in place for your fights. Here is a basic breakdown of each and what you should be looking for:

Potions and Elixirs

The potions and elixirs are multiple when you reach end game and will include everything from basic mana and health potions (of which the Runic variety is the best currently) to high level guardian and battle elixirs that will boost your key stats in multiple areas. It is important that you match your elixir needs to which class you are and what stats are most important.

For example, if you’re a Rogue or Hunter, you had better be working on your Agility while Warriors should use the opportunity to cap out things like Defense and Stamina.

Flasks

There are a limited number of truly useful end-game flasks. These flasks, which last for an hour in a raid and don’t disappear on death, will take the spot of both your battle and guardian elixir on the cooldown, so you’ll only be able to use it once. However, the Level 85 Flasks in the game, which include Endless Rage, Pure Mojo, Stoneblood and Frost Wyrm are all highly useful in raiding (even if they are rather expensive). Here is a listing of each and which classes should have them:

* Flask of Endless Rage – Increases Attack Power by 180 – Melee and Ranged DPS.
* Flask of Pure Mojo – Increases Mana Regen by 45 MP5 – Ranged Spellcasters and Death Knights.
* Flask of Stoneblood – Increases Max Health by 1300 - Tanks
* Flask of the Frost Wyrm – Increases Spell Power by 125 – All Spellcasters.
As you can see, having one of these flasks in a raid can be highly useful for anyone looking to get the upper ground on even the toughest of bosses.

Stat Food

The last category of stat boosting consumables is food. Food comes in many forms and in Northrend is either available as fish based or meat based options. These foods will allow you to boost certain stats according to the style of food being eaten.

In Wrath of the Lich King, more advanced food was added as well which requires special Spices to cook, only obtained through Dalaran Cooking Rewards. These foods will have better returns for those who take them into raids. On top of all those are Feasts which are made up of multiple different kinds of meat and fish.

Your statistics are incredibly vital to being an effective member of a raid. If you’re serious about boosting your raiding power and really knocking those mobs out of the park, make sure to bring along a good set of potions, elixirs, flasks, and food.

Essential Strategies to Make Yourself an Elite Raider

PvE Bible - WoW Pve Guide

Raiding in World of Warcraft is a rite of passage. It takes hours upon hours of practice, dedicated focus on the part of you and your guild, and a very keen eye for the right gear, consumables, and strategies. But, those that master these steps soon rise to the echelon of their servers, drawing accolades from their fellow players in droves. But, how do you get to that pinnacle of raiding perfection? It starts with proper preparation and careful strategy.

The Right Group

Step one to any raiding strategy is finding a good group of people to go raiding with. When you go on a raid, you are with 10 or 25 people. This means that you are only a small part of a much larger whole. It is important to find players who are good at playing those individual roles and who are willing to take orders and learn along with everyone else. If you are starting your own guild, find four or five good players who will do their research and share with everyone else to be officers. If you are joining another guild, look for one that will cater to your play style and availability. The people you play with will have a tremendous impact on how well you develop as a raider.

Your Gear

Next up, make sure that you are properly geared for whatever raids you are attempting to go on. There are hundreds of encounters in World of Warcraft and many of them have specific needs for your gear. Your class will also have a profound impact on what you wear. Naxxramas for instance on 25 man mode might require a small bit of frost resistance gear for players with low natural resistances or low defense numbers. Make sure you are properly geared to keep from wiping your entire raid group around you.

Your Talents

Your talent spec is a vital part of who you are and will determine when you get chosen for a raid and how you are integrated into that raid. If you want to effectively play a role in a raiding group, you need to effectively choose talents that will help you excel as a tank, healer, or DPS accordingly. Check to see what your guild needs more of and then cater your build to those needs.

If you are a hybrid class, you should consider having a dual spec that allows you to switch between two high demand roles. For example, if you are a Death Knight, you may want to have a Blood and Frost Spec so that you can switch between DPS and Tanking if you are ever needed to tank in this role.

At the end of the day, being an elite raider is about practice and teamwork. You’ll never make it happen on your own, so find a good group of players you can count on and work with them intensely to build up your reputation and your skill level. Only then (and several thousand wipes later), can you start to call yourself truly elite.

Proper Raid Progression for Your Guild

PvE Bible - WoW Pve Guide

Raid progression is a very important part of the end-game content in World of Warcraft. Rather than trying to figure out where you’re going on your own, Blizzard has pretty much set an order in which you should complete raiding content so that you have the next level of gear prepared for when you start up on a new raid. It also helps ensure that when you start on a new raid that your guild is ready for the content and has enough DPS and health to take down the boss without unnecessary wipes.

The Lower Levels

Lower level raiding content is more or less unnecessary any more. By the time you reach Level 80, old raids in Azeroth and Outland can be completed with fewer players and much more easily. However, that doesn’t mean you should ignore it. For new guilds and fresh Level 80s who never raided in Outland, these old raids can be a tremendously useful way to build your experience while not having to restart every four minutes from a wipe. You’ll be geared up without having to spend gold or craft anything and you can start practicing with your mods and your new team members. Try out raids like Karazhan and Hellfire Citadel to get a feel for the higher level of play.

Level 80 Raids

When you start out with Level 80 raids, you should have already gone through all the dungeons in Northrend as well as the heroic versions of those dungeons. You’ll find that if you go all the way up to Trial of the Champion, you can start getting a number of high level Epic items from 5 man content, even before you start raiding.

This will help you outfit you characters effectively so that when you first step into Naxxramas, you’ll be ready. Make sure when you do that, you start on 10 man raids and that you have at least all rare and epic gear. If you have any uncommon pieces you should go buy or craft something new.

After Naxxramas, you can raid through the Eye of Eternity and the Obsidian Sanctum, followed by Ulduar and the finally the Trial of the Crusader. However, keep in mind that before you even start on 10 Man Ulduar, you should have completed 25 Man Naxxramas, allowing you to progress higher with better gear. You shouldn’t play any content in Ulduar or higher without all epic gear.

Maintaining Progression

At a certain point, it can be hard to ensure you have all the gear pieces you need to reach the next level of content. In these cases, you should go to the Armory at www.wowarmory.com and look at your gear options. Look at what upgrades are available and if you can get them without going to the next raid. The more high level gear you gather for yourself before starting on the next step in the progression, the more fun you’ll have in that next raid because you won’t die nearly as much.

AddOns Your Character Needs for Optimal Raiding

PvE Bible - WoW Pve Guide

When you start blasting through raiding content in World of Warcraft, one of the first things you will notice is that the interface provided by Blizzard to get the job done isn’t very good. After all, they just now got around to adding maps of the dungeons in recent patches – after 4+ years of content. So, if you’re serious about raiding with the pros, you’re going to need to pick up a few add-ons that will make your job a bit easier.

Many guilds even have lists of add-ons they require for their players so that everyone in the raid is looking at the same screen of information. So, it’s important that you start getting familiar with these add-ons early, even before you start raiding. If you can familiarize yourself with them when you are still back running 5 man dungeons, you’ll be ready to implement the strategies you need when you hit the 25 man raiding content.

Omen

This mod will take care of measuring and reporting your threat level and the threat levels of everyone in your party from their spells, attacks and taunts. You will be able to keep a close eye on where you stand so that you don’t pull agro from the main tank.

Recount

This add-on will keep track of the DPS and Healing numbers being dealt by each player and the totals being put out by the raid as a whole. It makes it much easier to know if you’re hitting the boss for as much as is necessary to beat the enrage timer.

Deadly Boss Mods

Almost every guild on the planet requires this mod because of just how helpful it can be. The Deadly Boss Mod will provide detailed strategies, timing and specifically necessary adjustments on screen for each boss. It will also do cool things like send a whisper to anyone that tries to contact you while you’re reading and it doesn’t burn your memory down so fast like other mods have a habit of doing.

Cooldown Count

Keeping track of cooldowns can be tough when you are trying to gauge the little clocks on the abilities. With cooldown count, you can watch and see exactly how much time is left before your abilities come back up.

SmartRes

This add-on will make resurrection much easier by coordinating it between all of your different rezzers. Instead of dual rezzes or someone wasting their spell, you’ll be able to save your time and mana, getting back from a wipe much faster than you would otherwise.

Even if you’re just starting to run instances, having these mods installed in your game so you can get used to them as you start playing this higher level content is a good idea. It helps you practice and prepare for whatever might happen when you start raiding for real. Just make sure to turn them off when you’re not in a raid so that you can save on memory and lag, and enjoy more of your interface while not in a raid.

Raid Progression in Northrend

When you hit level 80, there are a lot of things you could do. You could start earning gold with daily quests and auction house strategies. You could spend your time trying to figure out how to get a new character up to Level 80. You could defeat your opponents in Arena and Battleground play. Or you could join the millions of player who go out 2 and 3 nights a week to dungeons and raid instances throughout Northrend.

There are currently 17 different instances in WotLK content (16 in Northrend and one additional in the Caverns of Time) that include over 150 different encounters and countless modes through which to fight those encounters. But, for anyone that is relatively new to the game or who has spent most of their end-game time in PvP or other end-game activities, running dungeons and raids can be a bit intimidating, especially with all those other top rated players out there showing off their Tier 9 gear and uber epic gear.

Starting Small

So, how do you start small and build your way up in a game that requires so much time investment and careful attention to detail to pull things off. It may seem overwhelming at first, but the truth is that if you start small and work your way up to the hardest, most time devouring content in the game, you’ll quickly find that there are many ways to take on this content without getting completely destroyed each time.

1. Find a Team of Like Minded Individuals – Most people think too far ahead. They try to find a player who is already Tier 9 to help them defeat Level 72 dungeons so they can catch up. But you learn nothing this way. The better route is to find a team of likeminded players who you can join up with and play along with as you complete the early instances in The Nexus and Utgarde Keep.
2. Don’t Expect Too Much – If you’re a raiding noob, don’t get frustrated. You’ll wipe a few times early on. Just keep trying and pay attention to what works and doesn’t.
3. Do Your Research – You may need to do some research to make things work for you. This means spending time online watching YouTube videos of other raiders, reading up on current instance strategies, and learning what others are doing to get through this content.

In the end, if you are really serious about getting ahead in the instances of Northrend, you should start small, find a good team, and build from there. Before you know it, in just a few short weeks, you’ll be tearing apart high level content with the best of them.

What You Can Gain from a Warrior PvE Guide

Ah, the Warrior – one of the most static, well balanced classes in World of Warcraft. It receives the fewest nerfs or buffs with each major patch and it continues to play the same roles year in and year out in raiding. Yet, being an effective Warrior in PvE requires that you have a very good understanding of your class and that you practice effusively. This is where a good Warrior PvE Guide can come in and make all the difference.

What a Warrior PvE Guide Does

Warriors essentially come in three flavours, but when it comes to raiding, you’re going to be a Protection Warrior or a Fury Warrior (largely because of Titan’s Grip). You’ll either be a tank or a DPS dealer.

And most Warriors become tanks because it is the quickest route into a raiding party – especially with the highly specialized actions that a Warrior has on hand to tank with. Even with Blizzard working hard to make Tanking more accessible to other classes, the Warrior sits atop that pile and probably always will.

So, a good Warrior PvE Guide needs to provide details on how to tank as well as possible. It needs to provide details on what gear to get, how to implement buffs and consumables, how to spec your talent tree and what specific abilities you’re going to need to do as well as possible in your position.

Fury Warriors, if they want to be in a Raiding Party need to be as good at their position as possible. So a good Warrior PvE Guide will be essential to mastering the various different attacks and DPS sustaining abilities they have, like Titan’s Grip. The ability to dual wield two handed weapons will boost your DPS immensely, but it needs to be done properly with enough stats and the right weapons.

Getting the Most of Your Warrior PvE Guide

If you’re serious about raiding as a Warrior, start spending as much time as you can working on building up your strategies for the class. Practice in numerous settings, go on low level instance runs, and even if you never play as Protection while levelling, play as it when you hit level 80, just on daily quests. You need to be as acclimated as possible to the ways of the Warrior to be a good raider. The days of getting an instant spot in a raid because you are a Warrior are passed – it’s time to earn that role.

>>> PvE Bible - Blueprint to Dominating the Instances <<<

How to Use a Warlock PvE Guide

Warlocks have gotten a lot of hard knocks in the last couple of years as the game has evolved, but regardless of their many nerfs in PvP, they still remain one of the most effective DPS classes in PvE and can bring quite a bit of pain along with them if they are played properly. So, anyone that is interested in making a big splash in the raiding community with a Warlock should look into a good Warlock PvE Guide to learn the basics of how the class operates, what your fellow players will expect of you and how to put it all together as effectively as possible.

How a Warlock PvE Guide Helps

A good Warlock PvE Guide is going to show you exactly what mechanics are effective with a Warlock. With a class that focuses largely on DoTs, crowd control, and pet use, there are many things to keep track of at once and the Warlock has the added responsibility of dealing with Soul Shards and everything they represent.

As one of the three rezzing classes you will need to be well practiced in getting your soul shards distributed and finding a way to maintain your stash and your mana count all things considered. Additionally, you should spend a good deal of time learning what it takes to effectively manage your Demons in combat – they all provide a great deal of support for your attacks and while they may not work wonders against a boss, they can be important in upping your DPS numbers enough to be an asset to your party.

Putting a Warlock PvE Guide Into Action

Whatever your Warlock PvE Guide tells you, remember that a Warlock is still one of the better DPS classes because of its versatility. You can switch into crowd control mode at almost any time and, if needed, you can even prove a very effective last minute tank, at least for a few moments while a new offtank is put into place to replace whoever died.

To put things succinctly, if you are a Warlock with a good Warlock PvE Guide in hand and a great deal of practice under your belt, you can become a top notch player in just about any circle of raiders. The key is to be willing to compromise a bit and to take up any position or actions required of you by your raiding party. This will allow you to be as effective as possible while not getting too trapped into one mindset.

The Secrets of an Effective Shaman PvE Guide

Shamans, more than any other Hybrid class are one of the toughest classes to put your finger on and say “they do that”. At any given time, a Shaman might do just about anything in a raid, providing a wide array of different attacks against just about anyone that comes your way. To effectively play a Shaman though, you are going to need a Shaman PvE Guide that goes through the basics of the class, how the totems work, and which specs will be expected to do which things.

The Many Uses of a Shaman

In a raid, a Shaman has a lot of purposes. Ignoring your spec and what attacks you may have, there is the issue of all those totems, including poisons removal, spell removal, interrupts, and much more. Shamans have a lot of different powers as a semi-casting class and they are brought along to use those powers. Your ability to manage those totems is going to be what ultimately decides how good you are as a Shaman.

So, a Shaman PvE Guide needs to spend a great deal of time discussing those totems, what they do, the rotation you should maintain, and how to keep them in mind as you play your other role. In addition to totems, you should focus on your other abilities including the buffs you offer to the raid, especially the weapons buffs that other players may rely on.

What a Shaman PvE Guide Says About Your Talents

A good Shaman PvE Guide should also discuss what talent spec to choose and how to play that talent spec effectively in combat. A Shaman can get away with two of their three different builds in a raid – the Enhancement and the Restoration builds. Basically, it’s either melee DPS or healing and in both cases you will be a bit of a supporting player who gets more done through your totems than anything else.

That said, you will find that ultimately, your ability to balance the powers you have in all three trees with your innate totems, shields and buffs is going to be what makes you either good or not so good as a Shaman. Whatever guide you end up getting or advice you end up taking, you need to practice a lot to make a good Shaman. They require a great deal of careful attention and practice and even then, they are going to be one of the harder classes in the game to master. Yet, they are vital to a good raiding group and if you are a Shaman with a good amount of practice, you will always have a raiding spot.

What Should Be in a Rogue PvE Guide

Rogues are among the most powerful characters in the game when they are properly specced and placed in a raid. Played by a good player, they can put out DPS numbers that put nearly every other class to shame. But, they are not necessarily easy to play. They take time and effort and a whole lot of practice to pull off. For that reason, a good Rogue PvE Guide can come in handy for anyone that is interested in taking up a role as a main melee DPS dealer in instances.

How a Rogue PvE Guide Can Help

It might seem like a very straightforward role to take on as a Rogue – to essentially put out as much damage as possible in as little time as possible using a combination of poisons and combos. However, the Rogue, while simple in essence, is actually quite complicated to pull off effectively. You must be careful and well balanced in your DPS dealing and ultimately, you need to make sure that you have a good balance of strength in your tank to keep from getting turned on because you can’t take a whole lot of damage with that leather armor on.

As a Rogue, a good Rogue PvE Guide will tell you to load up behind a boss and start unloading your combos on him. Obviously stunlocks are not going to work on a Raid boss, but you can still load him up with damage boosting poisons and start piling away with the damage from your 5 point combos.

For this reason, the main thing you’ll want to focus on is learning your rotations and the right balance of your poisons on each hand. Additionally, the gear you select and the food and consumables you bring along to boost your agility and attack power – two very important stats – are going to be incredibly important too.

Most Rogue PvE Guides will spend a lot of time going over how important these things are and how you will effectively balance them out when you start playing the game anew. To make sure that you don’t do anything improperly, spend a bit of time practicing with your Rogue in lower level instances too. You will find that even a small misstep can be damaging to your character and your raid party if you are not careful.

In the end, a good Rogue PvE Guide is the tool every Rogue needs to be sure they are prepared for whatever the game may throw at them. Practice a lot, read a lot, and get all those numbers just right and your Rogue will be more dominant than you can believe.

How to Use a Priest PvE Guide

The Priest, in traditional MMORPG lore, is the healer – simple as that. While other positions in World of Warcraft may be more mobile, and possible of changing depending on the hybrid class that is available, a Priest who wants to raid is almost always going to be a healer. But, that doesn’t mean that’s their only option. As a Priest PvE Guide will tell you, a Priest can take on any number of other support roles, including crowd control, mana management, and even light DPS when it is called for.

How Do You Balance Your Priest with a Priest PvE Guide?

With that guide, you should be able to quickly learn exactly what it is that your Priest needs to be effective. For most priests, that balance includes figuring out how they want to play their class. There are three distinct talent specs to choose from, and while those specs don’t necessarily stand out on their own as unique, one of a kind options for many players, they are tremendously valuable when taken as a whole.

The Holy Priest is your quintessential healer. They will almost always be among the main raid or main tank healers because they have the best mixture of healing spells, low agro output, and HoT options of any healing class. That’s the way it should be – after all, this is a Priest we’re talking about here.

But, what about the other options out there. What do the Priest PvE Guides say about Disc and Shadow Priests and how their talents play out in a raid?

The Other Specs According to the Priest PvE Guides

The Disc Priests out there tend to end up in healing and support roles. They are most effective in PvP, but in PvE, they can still throw out a bevy of good support spells and hold up the efforts of everyone in the raid effectively enough. They also have a good selection of healing spells to choose from that will make them as effective as nearly anyone else out there.

The Shadow Priest is a DPS role that doesn’t necessarily get as much play in PvE as others could, mainly because there are so many other ranged DPS options out there. However, a well specced, well geared Shadow Priest can be extremely effective for AoE roles in a raid. They may not be a lead DPS dealer, but their combination of support spells and AoE can make them very dangerous for nearly anyone interested in taking on the role.

The bottom line is that a Priest should always have a good Priest PvE Guide on hand to help them choose what they will do with their character and how to maximize their efficiency in a raid.

The Essence of a Good Paladin PvE Guide

PvE Bible - Paladin PvE Guide

Paladins are an awesome class and one that many people try out at least once in their WoW careers. However, finding a good Paladin PvE Guide that can break down the essentials of the class, how it operates, and what it is expected to do when you step foot into an instance for the first time, can be hard. It’s important that you not only understand how to handle your class with all of its Blessings, Auras and Judgments, but that you can effectively switch between the variety of different roles that you will play in an instance.

The Crux of a Good Paladin PvE Guide

A good Paladin in PvE is not necessarily just a Healer or just a Tank. Rather, you need to be a good Paladin – someone who can switch actively between roles for your class without getting overwhelmed by the possibilities of what you have to offer. There are a ton of little spells and actions you can take as a Paladin, but they don’t necessarily need to be done all at once to be effective.

Rather, you need to learn what it takes to stand in the role you are given and be as good as possible, but at the same time, ready to move to another position at a moment’s notice.

This might include being a Protection Paladin who tanks for your small party or offtanks for a raid but who, at any moment can be prepared to toss out a Divine Shield or to switch for a quick bout of healing. These are part of the responsibility that comes with being a Hybrid class. You have more skills than your opponents and should use them effectively.

Integrating Your Skills with a Paladin PvE Guide

The thing about Paladins though is that they are not any one thing. They have too many options to be just one thing. Every raid will have at least two or three Paladins along for their Blessings and Auras. You may be one of those Paladins, and you’d better know how to use them properly. Additionally, you may be brought along to produce a bit of side healing or off tanking.

The odds are that you will never be called upon for DPS, but it’s not impossible, so be aware of the talents you have and how you can use them as an off tank should the need ever arise.

Ultimately, as a Paladin, you should be prepared for just about anything that might come your way. It’s your role to be a solid, well played hybrid class that can move between roles seamlessly and with high skill. With luck, you’ll find a Paladin PvE Guide that can help you do that as well as possible.

Finding a Good Mage PvE Guide

Ah, the good old Mage – nature’s little firebomber. In World of Warcrat, a Mage has pretty much one job in PvE content. They blow things up and they blow things up good. True, some mages will be called upon to handle crowd control and other support issues, but for the most part, it’s all about the DPS and while it might seem simple in theory, getting the right DPS numbers to play out in a raiding party can be tough if you’re not properly prepared with the right strategy. That’s where a good Mage PvE Guide comes in handy.

What Your Mage PvE Guide Should Have

A good Mage PvE Guide will have a complete walkthrough of what it’s going to take to turn your Mage into a firebombing, DPS machine. And that’s just getting started. If you’re truly serious about mastering the art of PvE with a Mage, you need to know exactly how to spec your character to get the most possible damage out of him.

This means learning which of the Fire and Arcane talents are best suited for your needs. It also means learning whether you need any Frost talents at all and what balance of specs is going to work best to conserve mana in a prolonged raid. A good Mage PvE Guide is going to outline all of these things carefully for you, along with how to use each of those talents in combat.

The Key Points of a Good PvE Mage

A Mage in PvE is not necessarily only for DPS. During a boss encounter, you may focus intently on only delivering heavy blows with your biggest spells, but you may also be responsible for crowd control during trash fights or gauntlets and against adds during that boss fight. You may also need to keep a close eye on the spells being cast by your opponent so you can steal them away and become more powerful in your own regard.

In the end, a good Mage PvE Guide is written to show you every possible aspect of a Mage’s role in an instance. Whether you’re playing straight DPS, or as support, or as a lower level player learning the ropes, your powers are so great that you should be using them as effectively as possible whenever possible.

If you can do that, and a good Mage PvE Guide can help you do that, you’ll be set for months and years t come as a top, go to guy or gal for your fire flinging class of choice.

What to Expect from a Druid PvE Guide

Druids are quite the heavy weights when it comes to raiding. They can do just about anything and they are sometimes called on to do a little bit of everything. So, when it comes to finding a good Druid PvE Guide, your expectations should be high as to what you’ll get from that guide. After all, this is a class that can tank, DPS, and heal all with the same character and they can do it all while switching back and forth between forms, on the fly.

What You Should Look For

If you’re levelling up a Druid or already have one at Level 80 and are starting to run instances with them, you should have a good idea of what you’re getting into with that Druid. To start with, a Druid PvE Guide should tell you exactly what your options are. For the Druid, those options start with the two most popular raiding specs: the Dire Bear tank and the Restoration Healer.

The Dire Bear Tank is a highly popular option because of the huge volumes of defense and avoidance that can be poured into the class when it is specced properly. Additionally, the class is relatively versatile and can manage its threat much more easily than many other classes that are stuck in the same situation.

As any Druid PvE Guide will tell you though, the Restoration spec is just as popular for Druids and for good reason. To start with, Druids who spec almost fully in Restoration are aptly rewarded with an array of different spells and HoTs that can make them highly effective at landing those heals and minimizing their impact on the agro counters. From your Tree of Life ability to your numerous heals and the ability to drop combat relatively easily to drink and remove any added agro, the Restoration Druid can get the job done.

What Your Druid PvE Guide Should Contain

So, ideally, you are going to want a guide that focuses heavily on discussing the Feral and Restoration specs for the Druid. The guide should discuss how to quickly switch between specs on the fly and how to integrate a wide array of possible options into your raiding as you may be called upon to switch specs at the last minute and take up alternate positions when needed. If your guide can do all these things, and ensure that you know the specs, consumables and gear you need going in with either spec, you can perform extremely well in PvE content as a Druid.

The Contents of a Good Death Knight PvE Guide

Since Wrath of the Lich King was launched in 2008 and the Death Knight first joined the pantheon of WoW classes, there has been a lot of talk about how this class performs in PvE. The constant buffing and nerfing of the class mechanics have made it hard for anyone to figure out exactly what spec, what role, and what actions are best for a good Death Knight. So, a good Death Knight PvE guide is decidedly useful in helping get through the content.

What a Death Knight PvE Guide Needs

The first question any good Death Knight needs to ask themselves is what type of role they want to play in raiding. There are so many options out there within just this one class that it can be confusing at times deciding how to play it. A good Death Knight PvE Guide will show you how to perform all of the possible roles in a raid – including tanking, support and DPS. With that kind of knowledge in hand, it will be much easier to master the class when it comes time to play in a real raiding situation.

The Content of a Good Death Knight PvE Guide

So, what will a good Death Knight PvE Guide tell you? To start with, it should tell you exactly what you’re going to get into. The first thing it should include is a full rundown of what a Death Knight should expect in combat. The class is essentially a hybrid class mixing heavily between casting and melee combat. So, players with expectations of either melee or casting mechanics should rethink their strategy.

Rather, they’re going to need to work on building a strategy that focuses intently on disease rotations and maintaining their DPS or their threat level depending on what position they play. As a Death Knight tank, you will need to put out a great deal of threat, accomplished with your diseases, as well as manage to heal yourself effectively, done with talents like Lichborne. Without the ability to draw health from those diseases and your damage output (done in the Frost and Unholy specs), you will never be able to stay alive because of your lack of a shield and high defense.

As a result, a good Death Knight PvE Guide needs to show you exactly how the mechanics of both DPS and tanking operate and then show you how to spec and integrate those necessary tasks into a well built, effective raiding machine. If it can do that, you’ll be well on your way to successful, high level instance running with your Death Knight.

Breaking Down Raids – Piece by Piece – A Review of the PvE Bible

There are hundreds of different ways to blow through a raid and the typical guild probably spends hours upon hours trying to figure them all out. It might take days or even weeks in some cases to figure out what it takes to blast through a given instance and the results are sometimes less than spectacular.

So a lot of guilds and players turn to guides that can show them how a pro has gone through this content, what strategies have been worked out for them ahead of time, and how to put it all into practice effectively. The result is a slew of half-finished raid guides on the Internet that, while they offer interesting data, don’t really show you everything you need to know to blast through the content as fast as is possible.

Then there’s T Dub Saunders and his PvE Bible. The newest guide from the master of end-game content has already drawn a lot of attention from low level guilds and starting raiders who are having trouble finding useful information to get through the lowest level content without getting stuck on the little things.

The result is a guide that clocks in at more than 300 pages, includes hundreds upon hundreds of strategies for every boss between Level 70 and the Trial of the Grand Crusader. The question I’ve been seeing a lot on the different forums and chat boards is whether or not all this information is really worth paying for.

After spending about two weeks with T Dub’s newest guide, I can tell you this – the information is definitely worth paying for. Including more details than you’ll likely ever see in a single guide and the single perspective of one raider throughout hundreds of encounters, you get not only consistency, but detail. Nothing is missing here and when new content hits the PTR, T Dub is the first in line testing it and adding details to his guide, all of it updated when patches go live.

In short, if you need a new guide for your guild or just to help get ahead in your own instance running, you need to stop and check out what T Dub has put together in this spectacular new instance guide. It’s the best around and that’s saying quite a bit.

A quick review of PvE Bible

There was a time when the idea of someone actually going through and writing up a strategy for every single instance encounter in World of Warcraft sounded like a bit of a stretch. But, now, almost 5 years into the game’s lifespan, it’s not surprising in the least to find that there are superstars in the guide writing world who can pull this off.

The culprit this time is the PvE Bible, from T Dub Saunders, the guy who wrote the PvP Bible and Warcraft Formula. His guides have become legendary and he’s come back again with something bigger and badder than ever before. I wanted to share what I learned from the free review copy T Dub sent my way and why you should all be checking this out right now.

The Guide in a Nutshell

The thing about T Dub is that he’s incredibly thorough and his new guide is no exception. From the start, he shows off as much content as he can get his hands on. The guide is packed full of details on every raid and dungeon encounter in the game since WotLK was released. Each instance includes quests, achievements, maps, and detailed strategies for every boss. You’ll find links to popular databases for more details and multiple dual strategies for instances that offer more than one mode.

For key encounters, T Dub goes above and beyond the call of duty and adds extremely in-depth details. For example, his Sartharion strategy guide is pages long, showing how to go through every possible method when defeating the seminal boss. From +0 to +3 drakes, he knows the ins and outs of this encounter and shows it off with aplomb.

What You’re Getting

In the end, the PvE Bible is the biggest and most complete instance guide I’ve ever seen. You won’t find anyone that offers more content at a more affordable price and the content is updated fast. When a new patch hits, T Dub has strategies for you as soon as he possibly can and they’re darn good while he’s at it. If you’re in need of a good route to quick raid and instance runs, this is the way to go. Check out the PvE Bible today.

Getting to the Bottom of the New PvE Bible

There are a lot of raiding guides on the Internet and they all claim to provide the best, biggest and most thorough routes through the different aspects of end-game content. But, the truth is that many of them are incomplete, poorly written, or hard to understand for noobs. While I’m not exactly in that last category, I remember when I was and it was tough going. Finding someone who understand what a noob knows and doesn’t know and can write for them is tough.

So, when I found out about T Dub Sanders’ new PvE Bible, I was excited to see what he could do with all that bulky end-game content. After all, with dozens of different encounters, hundreds of different modes, and thousands of different group compositions, there are a lot of different little details you can get snagged on in a raid.

And T Dub is the guy who everyone knows can pull it all together. His PvP guide is still the biggest and best one on the Internet, months after its release. He has even further grown his profile with his monthly Warcraft Formula updates and now he has the PvE Bible which I think we all know will be a big success.

But, the real questions is whether or not the guide is going to be worth the purchase price. Is this thing as good as we are all assuming it should be?

The answer is a big resounding yes. T Dub Saunders is a big star in the WoW guide community and he’s gotten there by showing that he has an eye for detail and a skill for the game that is nearly unmatched by his peers. The result is the PvE Bible.

Just to give you a quick idea of everything he throws in, this thing is complete with every single encounter in WotLK content up through patch 3.2 and is currently being updated for the new Onyxia encounter and the upcoming Icecrown Citadel. The guide is massive too – over 300 pages of solid content, all of it written with the deft hand of someone who understands what it takes to truly get through a raid with a group in mind (not just a single role).

If you need a raiding guide, don’t settle for the cruddy free stuff floating around out there. Check out what T Dub is offering with his PvE Bible – trust me, you won’t regret it.
