| I have compiled a list of the most important | | | | heading into an Elite dungeon or an instance. |
| things every WOW player on the Alliance must | | | | Priests are also pretty rare in the game, there |
| know and have narrowed it down to five. Read | | | | aren't really all that many players who enjoy |
| them below.1.) If you want to go solo, get | | | | taking on the social/support roles, so your skills will |
| yourself a Night Elf Hunter or a Warlock.While | | | | always be in demand - and you'll level pretty |
| there isn't any one particular character template | | | | fast.4.) You don't have follow the quest lines for |
| that works perfectly for soloing, this is about the | | | | your own race!One of the biggest misconceptions |
| best that there is on the Alliance side. First, there | | | | that new players have about World of Warcraft |
| really isn't any equal level monster in the game | | | | is that quests are restricted by race - in other |
| that a properly tricked out Hunter can't tackle | | | | words, that if you're playing a Human, you must |
| one-on-one without breaking a sweat. While | | | | take the "Human" quests in Elwynn Forest when |
| Warlocks are a bit more fragile, they have an | | | | you start out. That's simply not true. Players can |
| excellent complement of damage dealing spells | | | | take any level-appropriate quest regardless of |
| that will let them survive - albeit while taking more | | | | their race. For Alliance players looking to level up a |
| damage. Unfortunately, many creatures will attack | | | | bit faster, there is a bit of a shortcut. Simply head |
| in groups if they notice one of their buddies | | | | to the hub cities of Ironforge or Stormwind as |
| getting pounded on (Elite creatures are particularly | | | | soon as you're strong enough to get out of the |
| nasty with this).That's where pets come in, Any | | | | newbie zone (around level 5). From there, find the |
| "Pet" class can use their animal (or demonic) | | | | passage to Teldrassil, the Night Elf homeland and |
| companion to do what's called "crowd control" - | | | | start collecting quests. Teldrassil is very small, |
| basically pulling one creature away from a group | | | | contains the hub city of Darnassus that offers |
| and a time and killing it. The Warlock's Void Walker | | | | every service, and players rarely have to run far |
| is particularly good at this. Night Elves quest lines | | | | to complete quests. You'll find yourself at level 10 |
| at low levels are also pretty self-contained within | | | | or even higher in no time!5.) The Alliance means |
| the geographically isolated Teldrassil, meaning you | | | | more content, but more people.For whatever |
| never have far to run to reach a quest | | | | reason, the Alliance races as a whole (Humans, |
| destination or to retrieve your corpse.2.) Gnomes | | | | Night Elves, Dwarves, and Gnomes) are more |
| have the best (worst) dancing emotes.Trust me | | | | popular with players. This can often mean severe |
| on this one. Simply typing /dance into the game | | | | crowding in popular regions along with what we |
| while playing as a gnome will show you what I | | | | like to call "mass extinction events". That basically |
| mean. Gnome dancing is the most offensive thing | | | | means that several quests in the area that |
| in Azeroth - rumor has it that the Horde offers | | | | require players to kill a particular animal may make |
| 10 gold pieces to anyone who can actually | | | | it hard to find that animal for a while - and that |
| manage to kill a Gnome in PvP during a dance. | | | | you may be racing other players who are |
| This makes Gnomes perfect for role-players who | | | | standing around waiting for them to spawn. The |
| want to annoy other players and have a good | | | | good news is that the Alliance has a lot more |
| laugh.3.) Everyone loves a Human Priest.This is the | | | | quest-based content than the Horde. While this |
| perfect class for players looking to group. Humans' | | | | isn't noticeable at the earlier levels, many Horde |
| racial talents help a Priest hold his or her own in | | | | players often find themselves running low on |
| combat and there isn't a group alive that isn't | | | | quests around level 25-30 and being forced to |
| thrilled when a Priest shows up just before | | | | just "farm" random creatures for experience. |
