WoW Rookie: Wave your magic wand
New around here? WoW Rookie points WoW’s newest players to the resources they need to get acclimated. Send us a note to suggest a WoW Rookie topic. What’s that? You can’t hear because you’re wanding? That’s a good thing, young caster, a very good thing – because doing damage from afar is the savvy caster’s modus operandi. At higher levels, wands are usually reserved for backup duty when you’ve run out of wow goldmana. For a leveling player, however, a wand is an effective method of killing mobs while reserving your limited mana pool for crowd control or healing. As a caster, resist the temptation to tough it out and let mobs (monsters) get up in your face. Wands put out fairly healthy DPS (damage per second), and you’ll do more damage wanding than you will whacking things with your melee weapon. Besides, using your wand helps you get used to keeping your distance; you’re wearing cloth armor and should avoid taking direct hits
