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 youre 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 youre alive or dead. If your HP ever reaches 0 then youll die (dont worry, its not that bad) while if you lower your enemys 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.
