Class Roles


Have you ever ran into a battle as a DPS but last minute they say your CC? and what if you were always a DPS and dont know what to do with CC? well here is a little explanation on class roles.

Tank - A main part of the group, the Tank needs to have strong armor, a sweet weapon, a tanking spec, tons of stamina, tons of strength and a healer that wont let him down. The tanks' role is to take most of the dmg whilst fighting mobs and bosses and let the healer be his guardian angel. The tanks you would like to trust in WoW are Warriors in Prot Spec, Paladins in Prot Spec, Deathknights in Frost Spec and Druid in Feral Spec and have Bear Form(dabatable)

DPS - DPS are attks with high Damage Per Second, DPS can be slow but powerful but the best are super quick attks. the role of the DPS is to help the tank get through whatever he is tanking. DPS's you would like to trust in WoW are Warrior in Fury Spec, Rogue in combat spec, Mage in Fire Spec, Druid in Feral or balance spec, Hunter in marksmanship spec and some pvp specs such as paladin in retribution spec.

CC - CC are people who can Crowd Control. the CC should be able to disable a target for a bit any way possible. The role of the CC is to do whatever possible to stop a target for some time so the tank can take down the biggest part of the mob. CC's you would like to trust in WoW are Rogues in any spec (dabatable), Mage in Frost Spec, Hunter in Survival and Warlocks in demonolgy (dabatable)

Healer - Another main part of the group, the healer must heal whoever in the group is on low health but keep watch on the Tank. Also a common mistake made by the healer is that whenever the healer is attked and panicks, they run away from the tank, WRONG! they are supposed to run closer to the tank so he may aggro the mob of the healer. Healer's you would like to trust in WoW are Priests in Holy Spec, Paladins in Holy Spec, Druids in restoration Spec and Shamans in Restoration Spec.

Now if your class isnt there and you would like to be then change spec, if you would like to be a DPS for example but your a BM Hunter then you should find a group that would accept you as the DPS or just stick with PVP.
