World of Warcraft Character ...

hat type of hero will you be? This is one of the first questions you'll answer when playing World of Warcraft. After deciding what race to play, each character will choose one of several classes. Each race has its own list of class options available to it. Throughout their entire careers, characters will be able to learn from a pool of over 1000 spells and skills . A character's class will help determine which spells and skills he or she can master; this page lists just a few for each class. Below you will find information detailing each of the classes you'll be able to play in World of Warcraft, including a few examples of the numerous spells and skills available to each class.

characters swim

Characters are able to swim, and World of Warcraft has underwater environments to explore. But beware; your character cannot hold his breath forever. If your breath bar (which appears when you go underwater) gets to zero, then you will drown. Come back up for air and let your character breathe. For any trips across deep water you also need to watch out for fatigue. When you are swimming out in the deep blue sea you can only swim for so long. Make sure you save enough of your fatigue (which appears just like the breath bar) to get back to shallow water or you could drown from exertion.

How do I learn new spells and abilities? New spells and abilities can be learned through a few different methods. Most spells and abilities will be taught to a character from their class trainer. Once a character has met the requirements for a specific spell or ability, they simply talk to the trainer and purchase the skill for a set amount of money. Some skills can be gained through the Talent system (Hotkey N), while other skills may require the completion of a quest or some other task before the spell or ability is gained, usually as a quest reward.

As if new races, worlds, cities, dungeons, mounts, and professions weren't enough, the expansion will also enhance the game with a wide number of small innovations that will add up to a significantly improved gaming experience. From the new Looking for Group feature to the updated Character Sheet to an incredible number of new enemy models, the game millions around the world are enjoying is about to become even better.
