TBC decision guides
Start with the decision you are trying to make. These guides connect class mechanics to leveling time, role responsibilities, roster needs and gold, with separate raid and arena comparisons.
Choosing your first TBC main: a practical decision guide
Your first main is a character you will level, equip and play repeatedly. The best choice should fit your available time and preferred job before it fits a late-raid ranking.
Beast Mastery, Marksmanship or Survival in TBC?
Hunter names can suggest a misleading hierarchy. In TBC, the useful distinction is pet-supported damage, raid utility, or a control-oriented PvP plan.
Warrior, Paladin or Feral: choosing a TBC tank
All three tank directions can contribute to TBC groups. The decision is about pull style, equipment preparation, emergency tools and the jobs your roster needs.
TBC professions on a budget: what to buy first
A profession recommendation is useful only if you can name its benefit, afford it and use it before replacing it. Start with a spending plan, not a universal pair of crafts.
One TBC character for raids and arena: choosing the compromise
Raid usefulness and arena strength reward different tools. A class can serve both, but one talent build and equipment set may not serve both equally well.
