World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Primer-April 2024
Apr 19, 2025 7:42 PM

  The Shattering has destroyed Azeroth and Deathwing has returned to rain havoc. Our World of Warcraft Cataclysm Primer gets you started on the changes to class trees, new races, and updated dungeons.

  Classes and Attributes: Find out how Attributes control the abilities of the 10 classes and changes to skill trees. New Races: Starting info on the Goblin and Worgen races Updated Dungeons: Discover what's new in class dungeons

  

Attributes

  Stats on equipment and how they affect the different classes has been altered by the Shattering. Basic stats such as Attack Power and Spell Power have been completely removed from gear. Now, only Paladins, Warriors, Bear Druids, and Death Knights can gain Attack power from Strength; Rogues, Hunters and Shaman gain Attack Power from Agility. Spell Power is completely controlled by a character's Intellect.

  Mana Per 5 Seconds has been removed and now all Mana recovery is directly controlled by Spirit. Various builds of Shaman and Druids will also gain Hit Rating from increased Spirit. Haste will now affect the regain rates of Rage, Focus, Runes and Energy.

  Armor Penetration is no longer a stat featured on weapons or other gear, but may be acquired with certain talents or training. Defense has been reworked, including the removal of Defense Rating and Defense Skills. Further, Block has been redone to provide a base 30% damage reduction. Each class will already start with their weapon skills learned and will not need to train them later on.

  A New Mastery Rating is for higher end character, around 70 and above. This will grant new passives depending on a chosen specialization. All of the Talent Trees have undergone heavy changes, including removal of various Talents and re-arranging where they appear and in which tree. Some abilities that were previously learned much earlier or not even on the trees, have been readjusted to have more core focus at lower levels.

  Starting at level 10, characters will gain points to spend in their talent tree and additional points every two levels after. You must spend at least 31 points in a tree before unlocking a new one, meaning characters will now be locked into a role until level 70. However, a secondary tree can be trained at level 30 for 10 Gold, allowing each character to act under two different roles at lower levels. The following pages will go over the newly changed Talent Trees and how the 10 classes work being specialized.

Worgen

  Classes: Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Death Knight, Mage, Warlock, Druid

  Level 1 Attributes: 23 STR 22 AGI 20 STA 16 INT 19 SPI

  Worgen's starting area is Gilneas, an instanced area that players will be restricted from returning to for quite some time. Most of the starting areas and quests are against feral Worgens and Forsaken, and showcase how the player character becomes a Worgen themselves. After leaving their starting area at around level 14, they will join the Night Elves and citizens of Darnassus. Their story will continue from there and many of the quests will align with those of the Night Elves.

  The Worgen racial ability is Darkflight, which increases movement speed by 40% for 10 seconds and has a 3 minute cooldown. They all gain a number of passives to help them in battle. Viciousness gives a +1% to critical strike chance. Aberration gives resistance to Nature and Shadow damage.

  Their Flayer passive increases Skinning by 15 and allows skinning about half a second faster. Worgen can also change back to human form via Tow Forms. However, they will revert back to Worgens when entering combat or using other related racial skills.

  Last, Worgens gain no racial mount, but instead gain Running Wild. When using this ability, a Worgen will drop on all fours and gain the same movement speed as a mount. Just like a mount, a Worgen will return to normal once entering a building.

  

Goblin

  Classes: Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Death Knight, Shaman, Mage, Warlock

  Level 1 Attributes: 17 STR 22 AGI 20 STA 23 INT 18 SPI

  The Goblin starting area is Kezan, a tropical island and the site of a slave mining camp. The starting story and quests will showcase the Goblin's shady past and escape from potential slavery. Goblins will eventually meet with the Horde and will take refuge in Orgrimmar. They can continue along following the Orc storyline.

  Goblins have two racial abilities that share the same timer. Rocket Jump will allow you to jump forward a short distance. The Rocket Barrage shoots the rockets forward and deals around 24-30 damage at level one. This damage increases as you level, up to a possible 2000 or more damage. The cooldown for bother racial abilities is 2 minutes.

  Among the Goblin passives are Time is Money, which gives a 1% boost to attack and casting speed. Beast Deals Anywhere allows Goblins to gain discounts regardless of their faction standings. Finally, Better Living Through Chemistry gives 15 Alchemy Skill.

  Another ability for Goblins is Pack Hobgoblin, which will call in a Hobgoblin and grant bank access for 1 minute. This ability has a 30 minute cooldown. The Goblin mount is the Trike, which can be bought inside Orgrimmar.

  

Deadmines

  Deadmines is one of the dungeons that has undergone updates after the Shattering. Among some of the chances include the removal of undead enemies such as Ghouls and Skeletons, and the new inclusion of Hobolins, Kobolds and Ogres. There are also five new quests for both Alliance and Horde parties that traverse this dungeon for the first time.

  The bosses themselves have also been changed, with only one previous remaining. The first, Glubtok is an Ogre Mage that casts both fire and ice type spells and can drop a decent dagger once killed. Second boss on the list is Helix Gearbreaker, a Goblin that rides on top of a large Lumbering Oaf. After the Oaf is killed, Helix will randomly jump on top of party members and throw bombs around the room. It is the job of the "ridden" player to move themselves and Helix out of the way of these area effect explosions so that the damage dealers can finish the enemy.

  The third boss of Deadmines is Foe Reaper 5000, a giant Harvest Golem with some nasty area attacks. To make maters worse, this boss will sometimes ignore aggro and attack non-tanks for 10 or more seconds. It is possible to attack the smaller Harvest Golems and mount them once they take enough damage. This will allow anyone to take control of them for a short time and use them to fight directly with the Reaper. He may drop a one handed sword, staff and/or hammer when defeated. The fourth boss is Admiral Ripsnarl, a Worgen in Ironclad Cove. He mostly fights with single target damage but can add in knockdown attacks. The final boss for the normal version of the dungeon is Cookie, a murloc from the earlier version of the Deadmines. He is immobile during the fight, making it easy to target this boss. He will throw food at the party, some that will buff attack and movement, while others will debuff. It's easier to just ignore these items and just attack Cookie directly.

  For those on Heroic, there is one last enemy to fight: Vanessa VanCleef. However, you won't be fighting right off the bat. You'll have to move through a room of fire and take down Glubtok a second time. Next, Helix will attack again but will be supported by a huge number of spiders, but it's once again to take down the Goblin and ignore his helpers. A second round with the Reaper will take place, however, you must avoid or destroy several spark walls along the way. Next, you'll need to save several NPCs from Worgen attacks. They can be directly healed, so it's not really a hassle to worry about the damage they are taking.

  Upon reaching the top of the boat again, you'll finally fight Vanessa. She isn't tough on her own, opting to enhance her parry and dodge skills rather than try to damage you. However, she will call in many helpers to keep you busy. After taking enough damage, Vanessa will set charges and you need to grab on various ropes to swing to safety. If a party members fails to escape in time, the explosive charge will be enough to one shot them. If you're a healing class that can rez, be sure to survive the blast so that you can help anyone that missed the escape. Vanessa will set these charges several more times as her health gets lower, so be on the lookout for the ropes each time.

  

Shadowfang Keep

  Shadowfang Keep is the second dungeon that has undergone changes after the Shattering. The normal hums and voidwalkers have been removed in favor of more Undead and Worgen type enemies. Just as with Deadmines, Shadowfang Keep has new quests for both sides of the conflict.

  While previous bosses were mostly Worgens, the new bosses are all Forsaken or Ghosts. The first boss is Baron Ashbury, who tends to use damage over time and healing to himself and his helpers. It's best to damage him after his DoTs have worn and some time has passed to heal up. The second boss, is a return to Silverlaine. Most of his attacks aren't very powerful, but he can summon extra Worgen helpers as his hit points fall. The third boss is once again Springvale, none using a mix of Death Knight skills. It's important to deal with any adds that may still support him and only really hammer this boss once the other foes are dealt with.

  The fourth boss of Shadowfang Keep is Lord Walden, an Undead mage who also sports some deadly damage over time and instant damage attacks. He doesn't have any real support so there is no need to worry about any adds. The fifth and final boss is Lord Godfrey, a deadly hunter. He summons a number of ghouls quite often, but these adds aren't very threatening and have low health. Godfrey can do some serious damage with his pistol barrage, but this move can be dodged with some good timing. Otherwise, most of this boss' abilities are pretty straight forward tanking.

  

Archeology

  Archeology is the new secondary profession that can be learned at level 20 or above. Some trainers include Harrison Jones in Stormwind and Belloc Brightblade in Orgrimmar. The main ability of use is Survey, which will deploy a device that will measure the distance to an Archaeology Fragment. When the Survey flashes green, it means a Fragment is in 50 yards. If you Survey within 5 yards of a digsite, you will automatically receive the hidden Fragment. If you fail at finding a Fragment three times in a row, the digsite will despwn.

  There are several types of Fragments hidden around the different continents. Dwarf and Fossil Archeology can only be found on Kalimodr and the Eastern Kingdoms. Draenei and Orc fragments are exclusive to Ountlands. The Vrykul and Nerubian Fragments are only in Northrend. Troll and Night Elf Archeology are the most common and can be found in all four of the previous locations. Finally, Tol'vir Fragments are only in Uldum. After gaining enough Fragments you may choose to Solve and turn all of the gained Archeology Fragments into an Artifact. These Artifacts tend to be rather good or otherwise rare gear that can be used in your favor.
