This article is for beginners to World of Warcraft. Luckily the game of World of Warcraft is relatively easy for people to learn. There’s plenty of in-game help, and experience is the greatest teacher of all. When you get started, you need to be aware of the concepts of quests, and you’re best off starting as many quests as you can. Follow this list of basic tips closely, because the initial stages of the game are all about gaining experience and improving your character’s abilities.
The way to find a quest is to find the nearest character with a question mark over their head. If you right click on them, you’ll begin a dialogue in which you find out what’s expected of you. If you choose to accept the quest, your next move is to go accomplish the task.
Chances are your quest will be easy. Most seem to be designed to help you develop basic game skills. You’ll be sent out to defeat some weak enemies, and you’ll get rewarded with equipment you might not get otherwise.
Early on, completing quests is an easy way to develop your skills.

A few double-DPS teams managed to thrive, but for the most part, a gladiator’s number one priority was shutting down the healer.
That dynamic is all but dead in Season 5. Players output such a high level of damage compared to other players’ health that healing is almost a non-factor in most matches. My friends, Ghostcrawler is aware of this dynamic, and is looking into it. (It turns out, Ghostcrawler mostly plays a healer in the Arena.) As stated by the crab himself, the Arena should not simply be about burst damage. (Nor, however, should it be solely about healing or solely about crowd control.)
Of course, Ghostcrawler does admit he has difficulty saying what the long terms plans are going to be. The design team
