Builds for Orc
No guide is written for Orc yet. Pick a build for your class and switch race in the planner – the racials and race boxes follow along.
The guides adapt their race boxes to the chosen race – these fit too:
Rogue · Combat
Gnome Rogue: Combat solo leveling
Solo leveling for a Gnome Rogue 1–60 with Combat (0/31/0 at 40, 18/33/0 at 60) and the Gnome's Eureka! as a burst button. Theorycraft – the talent order is validated against client data 1.60.1.70755 but not tested in game; everything above level 30 is theory because the beta stopped there.
Shaman · Enhancement
Dwarf Shaman: Enhancement with a two-handed weapon
Solo leveling for a Dwarf Shaman (Alliance, a new combination in Forever) 1–60 with Enhancement and a two-handed weapon: 0/31/0 at 40 with Rage of the Farseer, 0/46/5 at 60. Theorycraft – the Alliance totem quests are based on beta data and everything above level 30 is theory.
Warlock · Affliction
Human Warlock: Affliction with Voidwalker and drain tanking
Solo leveling for a Human Warlock 1–60: Affliction DoTs, the Voidwalker as tank and drain tanking from 30. 24/7/0 at 40 and 41/10/0 at 60 without a respec. Theorycraft – not tested on live, and everything above 30 is theory (the beta stopped at 30).
Warrior · Protection
Night Elf & Gnome Warrior: Shield and Revenge
Solo leveling for a Night Elf or Gnome Warrior 1–60 as Protection with a one-handed weapon and shield: 0/0/31 and Shield Slam at 40, then Fury for Rage and crit, ending at 0/20/31 at 60; race differences for every race in race boxes. Theorycraft – the beta only went to 30, so everything above 30 is untested.
