Q u o t e:
In the two-hander versus dual wield section, you could note that one valid reason to dual wield is to be able to use two mana oils simultaneously. This is advantageous if you lack mp3 from gear, notably by wearing a lot of leather due to having specced survival. On the other hand, by dual wielding you raise your hit cap enormously and reduce the crit from raptor strike, so if you intend to melee at all (including wing clipping) such as in heroic instances (which, ironically, is where survival specs shine), using a two-hander is the way to go.

Great to hear :)

Shamelessly bumping this :/ Still see several threads each days that wholy or partly would be answered by reading this FAQ.

If you read it and find it useful for yourself or others, please report it for stickies.

Bump for mister Griffin

Reported for sticky, this thread could save a lot of pointless threads.

Thank you :) Let's hope someone listens.

If anyone got any additions or things I should change, or got any questions just post here :)



Edit - I think I will edit the "what race should I choose" and "what pet is best" paragraphs.

In the what race should I choose it lists dwarves as the best overall for alliance, while I think draenei's +hit beats the socks of dwarves in pve, while dwarves may be the best allrounder with +crit for guns and stoneform.

And for the what pet is best question, it doesnt mention what pets is good for levelling, and it seems to be asked every other day.

Edited Title to FAQ, added a segment about best pet for levelling:

Q u o t e:
"What pet should I use for levelling?"

Similar, but not the same as "What is the best pet". While levelling survivability, aggroholding and efficiency is the most important, not necessarily only dps. First of all - almost any pet will do. Some just have a bit more advantage than others. For all you want to know about pets you can check out Petopia: http://petopia.brashendeavors.net/

Personally I (Griffen) prefer owls or carrion birds because they do fairly good dps (have claw) and have screech that allows it to hold (some) aggro on several mobs at the same time so that it allows me to use mend pet and the occasional multi-shot without much hassle. They also has dive so they get fast to a new mob, and leave little down time between each pull.

Other than that I recommend having a pet with a dash/dive/charge ability. Ravagers, cats and raptor as mentioned have good dps, while boar have good defenses (+hp and armor) and builds aggro fast.

Also changed the race recomendation for Alliance.

Thank you! That's great to hear :) Thanks to Navarrus for this great compilation. I will try to keep it up to date as well as I can, but I can't keep bumping it forever.

I would suggest using some kind of index at the top of your post so people can see if what they are looking for is here.
Kinda annoying when you read everything and what you want answered isn't here, there's a lot of text =)

Just a suggestion =)
