Our World of Warcraft Beginners Guide is a vast and expansive guide about everything you need to know about the game when you first start out. It's regularly updated with brand new content to help out the WoW beginner. Today we've added a section on combat with an easy to understand explanation of WoW's combat system. If you have a friend starting out, don't spend all day trying to explain the game, hand them our handy beginners guide!

Combat is very simple. If you’re new to roleplaying games then it might be a bit confusing, but I promise you its very simple. You have a ‘pool’ of ‘hit points’ or HP. This is your life force and determines if you’re alive or dead. If your HP ever reaches 0 then you’ll die (don’t worry, it’s not that bad) while if you lower your enemy’s HP to 0 then you win the battle and will collect your spoils from them.

Our Beginners Guide is full of excellent starting tips for WoW.
