So I've decided to try out World of Warcraft after watching the movie, which I thought was pretty good.

After a lot of google searches, I decided to go with a Rogue.

Anyone have any pointers or advice for me? Is it solely questing until level cap?

Any addons I must have?

Thanks for any info.

I bought my first month about a month ago.

Advice:

Choose a pvp server vs a normal one. That aspect of WoW is great.

Rogue is fine and easy to start with. Don't be afraid to run dungeons. They are quick and painless with all the experienced players and is where you get better gear.

Level up herbalism for great money.

Download the armory app.

It's about a month out from the Legion pre-patch. Blizzard loves completely retooling the classes every expansion. Don't get too used to a particular play style or spec.

I'm going to disagree and say don't join a pvp server at least if you don't do your research first, else you'll roll alliance on a server that is 75% Horde and will be griefed repeatedly.

Rogue is a good choice, I've leveled one but they aren't really my style.

It's not just questing until cap. You can run dungeons, PvP, etc for experience. I wouldn't do one thing to level cap.. It might get boring.

Advice? Join a guild or find some friends you like to play with. I can only play so much by myself. If you decide to buy the game up to current expansion, you will get a free max level boost. I wouldn't do that until you leveled your first character through it to make sure you know what your doing.

Addons? I would say a Skada Damage Meter or Recount meter are "must haves." They give you an idea on how well you are doing. Bag management addon like Bagnon would helpful. Deadly Boss Mods for group content. Map addons are nice, especially when you get higher up and can find things for experience.

Ultimately WoW is a game where it really gets fun at max level where you can gear up to Raid or PvP. If you really want to give the game a chance get there before making any judgements.

If you wanna roll Horde Thrall is a good server. 90% horde PvE good player base. I have. A couple max level toons.

Not subbed right now but will again when legion comes out already bought the expansion.

I play for a month once every year or two, but I doubt I will ever get back into this game. I used to three box.

My first toon was a rogue. Good times. Just don't let it consume your life like it did mine for several years!!

To the OP.

Is this your first MMO?

My advice...

Don't be in a hurry. Don't rush to the level cap. Don't skip areas. Explore, quest, and soak in the lore.
