So after having never played WOW at all (veteran EQ player) - looking to start playing - most likely together with a friend.
Can someone hint some good websites to read up on like allakhazam or Lucy back in the EQ day etc.
Any suggestion for 2 player combo?
I read there are classes, races and specs. Religion too? Like i said - complete newb.
Any help is appreciated
wowhead.com is the best resource I've seen, curse.com can also help. Addon mods extend the UI in specific ways, and Curse is the best place to get that.
I'd recommend DK and priest or DK and druid. You can pretty easily pair two of anything, but tank + healer will be the best way to do group quests easily. You might want to play it first and get a handle on things, THEN start a death knight.
Tanks: Warrior, Druid, Paladin, Monk, Death Knight*, Demon Hunter*
Healers: Priest, Druid, Shaman, Paladin, Monk
Pure-DPS**: Warlock, Mage, Rogue, Hunter
World of Warcraft - Best summary
* - DK & DH are hero classes, and require you to have leveled another class before starting it (or they used to be)
** - Pure-DPS doesn't mean they are the best at DPS, it means they ONLY do damage. Every class has a damage specialization, but the ones in Pure-DPS only have damage specializations.
Races have some minor benefits, but just pick whatever you want. I'm preferential to Humans for diplomacy (or Worgen because SHAPESHIFTING) on Alliance and Blood Elves for Arcane Torrent + Prettiness on Horde.
I would recommend rolling your characters on the Hyjal realm, as that's where the forum guild is. I'm sure we can tag you on the guild and answer questions or help with quests or even provide some free equipment/bags/tips/etc.
