Capable of absorbing brutal punishment while dishing out tons of damage in return, the Warrior is the premiere melee class in the game. With great ferocity, the Warrior can go berserk and bring down his enemies while protecting his allies from harm. The best tanking unit in the World of Warcraft, the Warrior is akin to the Rogue in one respect; while the Rogue depends on his energy pool to perform certain abilities and skills, the Warrior relies heavily on his rage to defeat those that stand against him.

In addition to using stealth, the Rogue is also an able poison maker. He can make concoctions that can cripple or damage his enemies, making them more vulnerable to his subsequent attacks.

The best healing class in the World of Warcraft, the Priest brings a lot to the table – individual and group healing spells, party buffs, dispel buffs, and the ability to resurrect the fallen. Such attributes make the Priest a prized possession in every group.

While the Priest is seen and utilized as a primary healer due to his protective spells and healing powers, he can also do tons of damage with the use of either his knowledge of the Holy Light or the Shadow arts, should a Priest specialize in damage dealing. Either way, this only proves that the Priest is one of the most flexible units in the game.
