Battle Tactics and Tips    

ecoming a skilled combatant in World of Warcraft will take time, effort, and practice. Here are some tips to help you become a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.
Optimize Combat
With practice, you can fine tune your combat skills to the point where your reactions and decision making in combat become second nature. Optimizing your combat skills will help you and your allies to emerge from battle victorious, and with no casualties. You will become a better player overall, have an easier time in combat, and gain respect from other players due to your abilities.


Take time to organize your action bar. Put your most used abilities on the default hotkey bar. Put abilities you use less often on other "pages" of the main action bar, or on the optional upper and right side bars. These extra action bars are enabled through the Interface Options menu, and can be bound to keys using the Key Bindings menu. If you use extra pages of the main hotbar, learn to switch quickly between bars during combat (using shift mouse wheel or shift-2).
Use the hot keys for your action bar to use abilities and spells more quickly.
Learn all of your abilities. Learn the ins and outs of each ability you have so that you will know what it is used for and when to use it. If you need help, talk to more experienced players of your class or read class strategy guides.
Become skilled at maneuvering your character during combat. Positioning and movement are crucial to use many class skills and spells effectively. A combination of the mouse to control a character's facing and the keyboard for movement is an effective method for responsive movement.
Situational Awareness - Camera View
As you are fighting and moving around the world, use the mouse to rotate the camera around to view your surroundings. You can check if you're about to run into enemies, or if they're heading towards you. Keep aware of your surroundings at all times, especially when in combat - knowing the source of any threats against your character is needed before you can react to them.
Combat Log
Your combat log can be very helpful to inform you how you are doing and what is happening during combat, and to test the impact made in your abilities by talent or gear changes. Additionally, there are interface mods made by the fan community which can provide you with performance analysis.


Additional Information    

his section will compile additional information about the combat system, some of which has been added or modified in the course of the ongoing evolution of the game.
Weapon Switching
Switching weapons in combat triggers a 1 second global cooldown for all abilities for Rogues and a 1.5 second global cooldown for all other classes.

Instant Melee Attacks
The attack power bonus is multiplied by a fixed number pulled from the following table:

Two-handed weapons: 3.3
Daggers: 1.7
All other one-handed weapons: 2.4
All normal weapon swings are completely unaffected by this change. Only instant special melee attacks, such as Sinister Strike, Ambush, Backstab, Whirlwind, Mortal Strike, and Overpower, are affected by the design change.
Damage Absorption
Damage absorption does not protect against falling, drowning, or fatigue damage.

Sitting
Sitting characters will stand up immediately after an attack, even if stunned.

Resilience
This combat stat decreases the chance of an enemy scoring a critical hit on you, and also reduces the damage taken from a critical strike. Your character has a base rating and items with bonus resilience rating modify this rating.

Weapon Skill
Players gain 0.1% to their critical strike rating per weapon skill against enemies above their level.

Spell Penetration
Spell Penetration reduces the target's resistance to your spells. Items can modify this rating.

Haste Rating
Haste Rating lowers the time between melee/ranged attacks. Spell Haste rating lowers the casting time of spells, including channeled spells. Items can modify these ratings.

Other Random Information


Glancing Blows have significantly less of a chance to occur during a player's melee attacks when targets are near the player's level.
Chance to break crowd control from damage: All targets over level 60 have a slightly larger chance to break out of crowd-controlling effects when they take damage.
