New to WOW

Hey just a update, played the druid up until level 10, really couldn't get a feel for him, and ended up creating a "huntard" and its much more fun playing, did my first BG last night (sucked real bad haha). Anyway I see a lot of people talking about addons, just want to find out, which addons do you use, and are their some that you would really consider necessary?

Edit: And one more question, what spec would you recommend for questing and low level BG's, at the moment I'm going for beast mastery, but I'm thinking marksman would be a better option?

badboy antispam addon definitely! go to www.curse.com and download their addon manager. once you've run it, the program will list every single addon for wow possible. there are many thousand of them :) you can then search for say, a hunter addon in it
 
Couple i used which are really handy:

Bar Mod (so you can customize your bars)
Bagnon (all in one bags)
recount (damage meter)
omen (threat/agro meter, only really needed late game)
Tidy plates (health bars on enemies/players can also indicate who has agro i.e Your pet, tank)
CT Mail mod - if u have 20 mails with attachements, u can just click select all and open and it will open each one.
X-Perl unit frames - lekker 3D protraits of your character, can also move them anywhere on your screen, make them bigger smaller etc.
Deadly Boss Mods - Gives you information during boss fights in dungeons.
Titan panel - a little bar runs across the top of your screen displaying info (gold, dmg, time, location, statistics, bag space etc)
Auctioneer - For the auction house
Atlas + Atlas Loot - Gives you instance maps & also loot found in each dungeon & crafting items
 
a mage is a really easy class to play as well
 
Don't want to start a new thread, but seems like Protection Warriors are the weakest tanks at this point in WOW, can anyone comment?
 
no clue on who is strongest/weakest, haven't played in a while. But what i can say, playing Prot Warrior is helluva lot of fun :D

I just know Prot Paladin is boring as hell...playing one :( Rerolling in MoP :p
 
OP: My tip is to tell your friends and partner/s that you will no longer be seeing them. Because if the WoW bug hits, you won't be leaving your house very often.

Took me 5 years from release to shake the addiction. Thinking of popping in to check out the latest expansion though.

The problem with protection warriors is that unless they have heroic T13 gear their threat at the pull is lower than the other tank classes with comparable gear level.

On trash this especially noticeable.

Dps go all-out from the start these days. The concept of "let the tank get aggro" went to the wall during WotLK.

Average guilds doing heroic raids therefore tend to prefer other classes because their dps don't have the skill and need to be nuking from the start, to make the enrage timer :)

If you see a guild doing heroic raids with a protection warrior then you know they have dps players with skill :)
 
Hey Zippy, that is true :). You charge and they already start nuking the guy you have not tagged yet :)
