I just wanted to see what spec my Warrior, Shaman, and Priest should take. Decided on Arms, Enhancement, and Holy. Thanks! Wow, this is a great guide.

The mechanics of Arena are very different and Resto druids are much more powerful there than in normal battlegrounds. Ah, that’s fair enough about Arena not being a priority for new players.

Let me explain why I wrote things the way I did. Since this is a Newbie Guide, I purposely stayed away from discussing certain topics (such as raiding or in-depth theorycrafting). Another topic I chose not discuss was Arena PvP, because you have to hit 70 before it really matters. For the Arena, a Resto Druid or Disc/Holy Priest could probably be decent builds. I don’t think that would be the best use of either class, but it could be done. I think the Arena dynamics have a large part to play in this though, as you would be running with the same team every night. They would know, for instance, that you are a Resto Druid and it’s their job to keep the other team off of you. For general PvP however, a Resto Druid and Disc/Holy or Holy Priest is definitely not the best use of either class. Again, it could be done - I knew a Resto Druid that did a ton of PvP and hit Knight-Captain before 2.0 came out - but not many heavy PvPers would chose those specs. Hey dj -

Resto Druids more than hold their own in 2v2, 3v3 Arena. Similarly with priests, Disc/Holy can be a really good pvp spec that allows you to heal well outside of battlegrounds or Arena and a build with more Holy points can be powerful in Arena. Hello,
