 | |  | | | New Guide : Tanking 101 Print News | Category: Site News
| Our newest guide Beginner's Guide to Tanking is not a comprehensive guide of how to spec your class, what exact stats you should have and how to tank to specific mobs. It's about tanking mechanics in general. Think of it as a Tanking 101 class. It covers the basics for anyone just starting to tank or a good refresher course for those who don't tank all the time. |  |

Account Security Awareness Print News | Category: World of Warcraft News
Account security is very important to everyone. As we have recently seen a rise in the number of compromised World of Warcraft accounts, we recommend you to take a few moments to read these tips to help protect your privacy and ensure your security. - Verify that your email address in Account Management is current. You can see your address on the right side of the Account Management page and change it with the "Change Contact Info" button.
- Make sure your operating system, web browser, and other software is up-to-date with the latest patches and security updates.
- Scan your computer for viruses, Trojans, and key loggers.
- After doing this, we highly recommend changing the password on the account to a brand-new, unique one, and making sure to keep this password private.
These simple steps can go a long way in maintaining account security. If you are seeking an additional layer of security, consider purchasing the optional Blizzard Authenticator, available at the online Blizzard Store. For more security tips, please visit the official World of Warcraft Account Security page.

 | |  | | | Season 5 has begun! Print News | Category: World of Warcraft News
Bornakk gave us some insight regarding the different Tiered PVP sets and their associated costs.
With Arena Season 5 launching on December 16, we wanted to provide some helpful information. The method in which Arena or Honor items can be purchased will be slightly different then how it was before. For Arena items, there will be 3 tiers of purchasable set items that includes pieces for the Head, Shoulders, Chest, Gloves, and Legs as follows:
Tier 1 - Superior (blue) quality items:
* No rating requirements
* Costs Honor and Arena points
* Equivalent to heroic dungeon items
Tier 2- Epic (purple) quality items:
* Medium rating requirements
* Costs Arena points
* Equivalent to 10-person raid items
Tier 3 - Epic (purple) quality items:
* High rating requirements
* Costs Arena points
* Equivalent to 25-person raid items
* This tier will also contain Arena weapons
In addition, there will be two tiers of Honor items that includes pieces for the neck, ring, boots, belt, bracer, and trinket as follows:
Tier 1 � Epic (purple) quality items:
* Medium rating requirements
* Costs Honor points
* Equivalent to 10-person raid items
Tier 2 � Epic (purple) quality items:
* High rating requirements
* Costs Honor points
* Equivalent to 25-person raid items
So with Season 5 going full speed, what do you think of the new Tiered gear? Do you think it's fair to force people to do arenas to purchase honor gear? Will you participate in this season? Have you participated in previous seasons?
