Warrior Builds
This area lists warrior talent builds for World of Warcraft. Beta WOTLK warrior builds will be listed in the beta section above.
Arms Builds
Fury Builds
1. Commanding Pressence is worthless, considering we have a Pally with Improved Might every raid.
2. The points in Improved Cleave could go nowhere else.
3. 2/2 Improved Berserker Rage > 1/2 Improved berserker Rage + Anger management
4. 5/5 Improved parry > 3/3 Iron Will imo... plus Tactical Mastery is worthless.
Protection Builds
Charging in and opening up with a Concussion Blow for the initial stun works amazingly. Get some DPS in while the stun times down and as the stun is about to expire, Shockwave. Depending on how long that stun lasts determines if I DPS or hit Shield Block.

Leveling Builds:
Usualy I recomend using a combat/assasination build for leveling. I have listed the main combat build you may want to start with as it does a lot of sustained damage and is very good for PVE and for groups. To use this build just pick these talents in order:
Basically the meat of the build is now there and you now can spend points where you want them most.
Usually I put a point in Improved Kick and a couple points Improved Poisons.
If you follow putting you points in this way you will have very good build to PVE and grind with. Here is a link to this build:
I suggest not going Fist as there are not many good Fist weapons in the game till you get to level 70. At 70 Fist or Fist/Sword is a good combo you may like.
Daggers were mainly associated with PVP builds. With the new 3.0.2 build mutilate has become a very popular build due to the huge damage output it can now do. With the change to mutilate now you no longer have to be behind your target. Daggers can be used for PVE and PVP now without sacrificing damage output.
How to Play a Rogue.
Learning how to play a rogue is a bit easier than it is to master most classes as we do not use a lot of skills compaired to some.
The main things you should know as a rogue is:
1. What Build To Use - Usually a combat build is best for PVE. Usually the sword or fist/sword is the best build for end game raiding for sustained DPS.
2. Rogue Gear - Rogue gear is a part of how much damage you can do. I recomend using Shadow Panther as this is a very good site for ranking rogue gear and lists stats and a link of where the gear comes from. There is a big difference on the gear you want for PVP or for PVE. The weapons you use is pretty standard. You want to use a very slow weapon for your main hand weapon, a mistake a lot of rogues make is using high speed weapons in the main hand. The off hand weapon should be a high speed weapon unless you are using a mutilate spec.
3. Combat Rotations - What rotations means is how many combo points to put into slice and then how many points to put into rupture/eviserate. A rotation is continuously repeated and is set so combo points are not wasted to keep slice and dice up without wasting points that can be used for damage.
4. Skills - Rupture is the best finishing move that can be used on most bosses or mobs that take a long time to die. Exceptions are if the boss/mob is imune to rupture or if the mob will die before a rupture can go through its full set of ticks. Rotations on bosses should always use rupture unless they are imune to this.
On mobs/bosses where you have to interupt spells/abilities make sure you save enough energy to kick/kidney shot/gouge.
Make sure you use your cool downs when they are up but try to use them when they will be of most use though. Using a cool down when it is up for no reason is a wasted cool down. Most of our cool downs do not take long to come back so do not be afraid to use them.
5. Poisons - In PVE usualy Deadly poison should always be on the off hand weapon. In most combat situations you should try to shiv with the offhand to keep the poison to stack 5 times and then shiv as needed to keep the poisons effect from falling off.

Death Knight Builds
Changes for 3.3 that effects blood:
- Glyph of Disease no longer rolls diseases so Glyph of Dark Death may be a better choice for DPS.
DPS BuildsRotation: PS>IT>DS>HS>HS>Hyst>DRW>Refresh runes DS>HS>HS>HS>Blood tap>HS also helps to use that when your raid leader or party leader tells the shammy to use hero I've hit 4-5k easy in first 20 seconds of the fight after your initial burst its: PS>IT>DS>HS>HS>ONE DC (because your death strike will do more damage if you keep RP)
Tank Builds
PVP Builds
Other Builds(Solo/Leveling/Utility)
Frost Builds 13 Builds currently listed
Glyph of Icey Touch changed, it now causes Frost Fever to deal +20% damage.Glyph of disease changed making it so you cannot roll diseases also using pestilence to reapply diseases will prevent Imp. Icy Talons from reapplying. The major glyphs for DPS that should be used are now: Glyph of Frost Strike,Glyph of Obliterate and Glyph of Icy Touch

PVP Builds
Changes that effect Unholy Builds in patch 3.3:
-Unholy has received the biggest change with the 3.3 patch due to the redesign of Scourge Strike. Scourge Strike now does much more damage and should be being used now instead of Obliterate. Builds that were not using Scourge Strike below have been removed and new builds have been added. Scourge Strike was nerfed several days after the patch so that the shadow damage component can no longer can crit. Right now only the physical portion of the damage can crit reducing the damage the Scourge Strike can do now. This nerf does reduce damage a bit but it is still worth while over Obliterate. The change in the amount of damage Scourge Strike now effects what talents you should be taking when creating a build. Before optimal builds would always have reaping to maximize dps now however this is not always the case and it becomes gear dependant on what is the optimum build for DPS.
DPS BuildsRotation: IT – PS – BS – SS – BS – DC – HoW – SS – BS – SS – BS – DC – DC – (DC)
The Death Coil in brackets you will not always have the RP to do it.

Mage Builds
This area lists mage talent builds for World of Warcraft. The below builds are for the 3.1. Please note I have a lot of builds yet to add and if you wish to submit a talent spec or make a comment please email me.
Arcane Talent Builds
Your rotations should be Arcane Blast 1, 2 or 3 times, depending on the length of the fight and your MP5 and Arcane Missiles, after the Arcane Blasts, regardless of whether Missile Barrage procs or not. Use Presence of Mind at your own preference. At least 8 points are taken in Frost for Precision, providing a 289 hitcap for Arcane spells. Going deeper in Frost for Icy Veins and into Fire for Incineration increase overall DPS, though points can be spent otherwise to adjust for your own play style.
