I find well-written and researched game guides to be a big help in getting more value out of my play time in World of Warcraft. I don’t think I could have leveled at least one character to level 60 in every class and faction in the game, in the time I’ve had to play WoW, without the detailed information I’ve gotten from professional game guides.
Among the best, and my favorites, are the guides published by Game Guides Online. Game Guides Online has published a total of 11 World of Warcraft guides so far, including class guides for Shaman, Warlock, Priest, Hunter, Mage, Paladin and Warrior, along with a Gold Guide (how to make lots of gold in Warcraft), profession guides for Alchemy and Engineering, and an advanced Raiding (end game) Guide.
The latest in the series has just been released today, and it’s definitely one of the best.
The World of Warcraft PVP Guide: World, City, and Battlegrounds is an advanced guide, to be sure. The author assumes that you already know the fundamentals of playing each class you are interested in, and concentrates entirely on information that is specific to player-versus-player activity. Given that the PvP Guide is 67 pages (downloadable PDF format) of tightly-written content, you can believe that the information goes deep and specific.For example. The 3+ pages on the Priest’s role and abilities in PvP give thorough details of how each priest talent build in the post-1.10 World of Warcraft (in this recent patch, the Priest talents were radically updated) functions best. You will learn how valuable the Discipline spec priest can be as a damage dealer (because Holy spell attacks can’t be resisted); why the Holy spec priest should be almost impossible to kill in group PvP (and how to deal some damage when opportunity presents); and how to make the most of Shadow spec through Vampiric Embrace and Shadow Mastery.
Similar detail is provided for every class and faction combination. You get specifics of the challenges you face in one-on-one PvP versus each opponent class; strategies for team combat in instanced Battlegrounds games; extensive discussion of raiding major cities and defeating faction leaders; and thorough coverage of the rank system and its rewards, as well as detailed notes for using Engineering, Alchemy, First Aid and Cooking items to improve your PvP.
The World of Warcraft PvP Guide is very well written, entertaining, easy to follow and thorough. It will be especially valuable for players who have reached the end game without doing a lot of PvP; in this situation it gives you a complete grounding in every aspect of Player-vs-Player, thus opening up a whole new portion of game play that may revitalize your interest in World of Warcraft.
The PvP Guide costs $19.99 (US), immediate download after PayPal payment, and it’s a terrific value at this price. Like all Game Guides Online guides, it comes with lifetime access to updates – and they really deliver on this, by the way, their Mage guide is now in version 3, for example. Highly recommended.
Even better value, in my opinion, is the deal I’ve taken. Get the Game Guides Online World of Warcraft Strategy Chest for $74.99 (US), and you get ALL of the current guides, all updates for life… AND every World of Warcraft guide they ever release! It’s a killer deal, and I advise you to grab it while you can, if you’re a serious WoW player.
