The Potential Risk Of Enhancing Your Game Play With World Of Warcraft Add-ons

Tag: WoW addons, World of Warcraft, Wow Cheatsadmin @ 12:04 pm

By: Tom Kranz

World of Warcraft is one of the most popular multiplayer online role playing games on the internet today. Currently, there are approximately ten million subscribers to this game. While these millions of individuals rave about the ever-popular never-ending game, there are many who have discovered World of Warcraft add-ons that dramatically enhance their game play.

Unfortunately, there is a potential risk of using World of Warcraft add-ons in order to enhance your game play experience - that is

the risk of compromising your account status. Here, we will expound on some of the most popular add-ons, as well as the reason behind Blizzard Entertainment’s stand on implementing the use of these programs.

When you sign up for a World of Warcraft account, you must agree to a set Terms of Service. In this Terms of Service put in place by Blizzard Entertainment, it states - in so many words - that add-ons and mods are not to be used to enhance game play experience, because it actually results in many in-game complications and ruins the equal opportunity among all players in the game.

It has been discovered that third party programs cause many different problems within the different servers of the game. First, it can result in lag and freeze-ups while playing the game - not just for the player that implements the use of the World of Warcraft add-ons, but for everyone that plays on that particular server.

There are many other complications that can occur with World of Warcraft add-ons. It has been discovered that these third party programs also result in an in-game imbalance when comes to the World of Warcraft economy.

Furthermore, individuals who implement the use of add-ons that are not created and put into place by Blizzard Entertainment have an unfair advantage when it comes to the players in general.

In a nutshell, programs that are offered by companies other than Blizzard are considered to be cheats. Individuals who are caught using these programs stand the chance of compromising their accounts.

If Blizzard chooses to ban an account for this reason, the characters, items, experience, and in-game money will all be terminated. It does not matter if you have been using the add-ons for a week or a year - if you are caught, you face the potential risk of compromising your account.

Examples of third party World of Warcraft add-ons include popular programs like Auctioneer, Titan Panel, Quest Helper, Cartographer and Atlas.

If you use these add-ons, it is important to ask yourself: Do I want to face the potential risk associated with using third party World of Warcraft add-ons? If the answer is no, then get rid of them!

The World Of Warcraft Map For Beginners

Tag: WoW Gold Tips, World of Warcraftadmin @ 12:52 pm

by Tom Kranz

Each and every single day, there is a new player added to the large subscriber list of World of Warcraft by Blizzard Entertainment. It is quite possible that you are reading this because today you took your place among the ranks with the millions of other players in this widely popular massive multiplayer online role playing game. If you want to achieve success when playing this game, one of the best resources that you have is the World of Warcraft map.

Here, you will learn how to use this tool, as well as some very interesting facts and features that are part of the in-game map. If you are new to this online game, it is important that you learn all that you possibly can regarding this simple exploration system. You will find that this tool is one that you will use every single time that you play!

When you enter the World of Warcraft game for the first time, you will notice in the top right hand corner, you have a little circle that is kind of vague. This is the map of the items that are close to you. If you click on the M key on your keyboard, the map will actually open up all the way. You will immediately notice that this is a very simple and broad map unit.

It may contain a few little hints, such as terrains and details of the area where you are, but it is a very limited view. It is your responsibility to unlock the areas and features of the map. As you explore the world, you will be able to do this. You will notice as you locate new areas, you will gain what is called experience points. These points assist in your leveling up throughout the game.


Once you open the map up, you will immediately begin to notice that there are three different types of zooms that are offered. First, you can view the world in a basic, overall view. This is more less a general outline of the area of the entire server that you are playing on. Early in the game, however, this is likely to be quite obscure. Next, you can use the zoom feature that allows you to view a specific region in the World of Warcraft game.

This is great when you are trying to unlock certain areas of the game. Lastly, you can use the zoom of the continents. All of these features in the World of Warcraft map are essential to the overall success of your game experience.

If you want to know how to find something in particular, where to find it, and the best route to use, the World of Warcraft map is the way to go. By learning how to open, view, and read these maps, you will find that your game play is much more productive and successful.

What World of Warcraft characters are there for you?

Tag: WoW Characters, World of Warcraftadmin @ 5:54 pm

By: Ken Wilson

World of Warcraft characters live in a world filled with imagination. In the game World of Warcraft, created by Blizzard, players have the option to be a wide combination of different races and classes, offering near endless possibilities. One of the characters you could have in a World of Warcraft account is an undead rogue. The undead, strange creatures and corpses brought back to life by magical means, are one the races on the side of the Horde, one of the two great teams battling for the control of the WoW universe.

 

The rogue, for its part, is a class that focuses on dealing large amounts of damage, sneaking into areas where it shouldn’t be, and immobilizing opponents, among other things.Naturally, there are down sides to those World of Warcraft characters who want to play and undead rogue. For one, you’re choosing to have a rather creepy character on your World of Warcraft account, and magically sustained body that only moves because of some twisted magic.

 

But, if that’s what you’re into, who’s going to object, especially if you stab them fast enough. More seriously, the undead rogue World of Warcraft characters do have some downsides, and being able to deal tremendous amounts of damage does come with some limitations.For one, rogues are limited in the types of armor and weapons they can use.

 

A major downside for anyone who wants to put a rogue on their World of Warcraft account is the fact that rogues cannot use most armor. For the most part, they’re limited to cloth and leather pieces, something that severely limits their protection in relation to other, more martial classes. That’s not all, though.

 

Rogue World of Warcraft characters can really only use knives, not the swords, axes, maces, and other weapons some other classes have access to. It is possible, true, that with training that can change. However, at the beginning, many of the best weapons you find won’t be usable.Of course, there are benefits to playing undead rogue World of Warcraft characters.

 

The rogue class as a whole can do magnificent combo attacks, which are a series of attacks that can build to greater and greater damage. Essentially, the rogue does damage by hitting often, and in the right place, as opposed to the fighter class some players prefer to have on their World of Warcraft account, which hurts enemies by simply hitting really, really hard.

 

It’s a different style of play, but one that can be very rewarding.The undead rogue combination does seem to be rather popular, with a lot of people looking for a World of Warcraft account that has one. I have to admit, it does look rather cool. The undead rogue, dressed up with a high level armor set looks just like a rogue should. It’s no wonder if, with all the players who want to create characters that they’re proud of, the undead rogue is being chosen at least partly because it looks the part of the sneaky assassin.

Mages: WoW Classes

Tag: WoW Classes, WoW Mages, World of Warcraftadmin @ 10:23 pm

Mage

Mages are one of two support dps classes (the other being Warlock). Their main job is to not only provide good dps, but also constantly apply crowd control and silences on the opponents. Mages have Sheep (a great CC) which turns the opponent into a sheep therefore preventing them from doing anything and they also have counter spell, which either silences all trees for 4 seconds or if a person is counter spelled during a cast, they cannot cast a spell in that tree (fire/holy/shadow/frost) for 8 seconds. Alongside this, Mages have great dps, which makes them a great support class.

Mages also have great kiting abilities and they can keep melee out of range very easily. They have blink (shoots them 15 yards ahead), frost nova (freezes everyone in a range for X seconds), and armor that when hit slows or freezes opponents. In order to maintain balance, though, Mages are notorious for being very squishy (weak) and can die very quickly. Mages have various specs that they can effectively use in arena. Most Mages go deep frost, which provides more survivability where they otherwise lack it. Some Mages with exceptional kiting abilities will play as 21 fire or deep fire, which provides substantial burst dps.

Frost Mages are most often on more defensive teams where the fight will be prolonged, as a Fire Mage cannot survive consistent damage for a while. A Frost Mage has 2 ice blocks (frozen and immune to everything but heals), an ice barrier (absorbs damage), more kiting options (chill armor), and a pet, with its own frost nova and abilities that greatly increase the Mages’ overall dps. Because of these defensive abilities, Warriors will usually only hop on a Frost Mage if it has Blessing of freedom to get through all the kiting.

Frost Mages are not often targeted in 5v5 arena, though, as a ice block will stop all dps on him. Although this does not apply until very high brackets of 5v5, Mages high up often spend the majority of their time crowd controlling opponents and mitigating heals and dps through CS and kiting. Mages will only really start to dps once one of the opponents drop below the 50% range, then the mage goes all out hoping to drop the target.

Fire Mages are more often seen on very aggressive teams, such as PvE Clickers and some 4 dps lineups. They have considerably less survivability than their Frost Mage counterpart, but they make up for that with the ability to put out extremely high burst dps. Fire Mages shine even more when they are played by people who have learned how to kite effectively with one.

Deep Fire mages have a chance to get a sprint when attacked, and they do not lose the frost nova and blink that allows them to keep people off them. I had a personal problem in one 3v3 arena with a Fire Mage as he was extremely good at kiting/sheeping/ccing and we could not bring him down. Along with this he had the ability to put out insane damage over a very short amount of time. He could take me down, with over 13k hp and 250 resilience (very good), in 8 seconds after he counter spelled me. This damage definitely comes in hand with 4 dps teams, where their goal is to kill an opponent extremely fast.

The Mage is usually targeted first in this scenario (unless their is a Shadow Priest) so its job is to get a sheep and/or a cs off during the initial phase and then unloads all of its abilities on their target before it dies, although as mentioned earlier some top players can stay alive.

World of Warcraft Classes: Warriors

Tag: WoW Classes, WoW Warriors, World of Warcraftadmin @ 1:20 am

Warrior

Warriors are often known as the leader as the Warrior is the one usually calling out the strategies and the target to kill. Warriors are one of three pure dps classes and they are also one of two classes that do not use mana.

Warriors have a special bar called rage. Mana runs out when spells are used, Rage does not, but rather is infinite. Rage starts at 0, but when Warriors attack or are attacked, they get rage. Warriors put out very high dps and if they are attacked then they have more rage to do more damage (many people call this “feeding them rage”). Warriors also have very high armor and health points, when combined with how Rage works, and this means Warriors are not often targeted in 5v5.

Warriors also have an amazing ability called Mortal Strike. Mortal Strike reduces the amount of healing done on the target by 50%. This means that enemy healers have to spend much more time and mana keeping their teammates alive. This is one reason why almost every 5v5 team has a Warrior on it.

Warriors also have the unique ability to become almost permanently immune to fear, through various spells they have. There is usually only a 5-10 second window that they can be feared through. This means Warriors are effectively unable to be crowd controlled by one of the two major CC’s. Warriors, similar to Warlocks, also have very high synergy with two classes: Paladins and Shamans.

Paladins and Warriors have been one of the most apparent synergies in the Arenas. Both classes wear plate (most protective armor) so there are no weak spots to melee on the team. The Paladin and the Warrior both have an array of stuns and defensive abilities that make them hard to kill.

The Warrior is also greatly complimented by the paladin through Blessing of Freedom and allows Warriors to move without fear of getting rooted or snared, which is the biggest weakness to Warriors. The Warrior also meshes with Paladins well because Mortal Strike makes the opponents healers have to use more mana and time to keep the Warriors target alive. When coupled with the Paladins’ second to none mana efficiency, this team can rarely be outmanad (fights where whoever runs out of mana first wins).

Shamans and Warriors have been recently showing alot of chemistry in 3v3 and 5v5, especially when the Warrior already has a Paladin. Shamans windfury totem gives Warriors a chance to get an extra attack on every hit, which procs (happens) often. This means the Warriors already powerful dps (damage per second) is greatly increased giving them more burst to take down an opponent.

The Shamans Heroism buff works even better with Warriors and is magnified when they also have a windfury totem. This means the Warrior not only is hitting harder but also attacking faster. Lastly, the only real defense against a Warrior is a blessing of protection on his target. The Shaman can quickly purge this off and allow the Warrior to continue his carnage.
