Guide to Ranged DPS: Gameplay Tips and Class Selection

criado 03/1/2015 em 12:53 por Anshlun

guide to tanks and tankingGuide to Dealing Damage and Ranged DPS.

Those who do damage mostly to nearby enemies, or, as we call, enemies in melee range.

Those who do damage to enemies usually from a far distance.

Make sure to deal as much damage as possible.

Position yourself properly to make sure to be in range of your enemies and not standing in something bad.

Unless explicit told to, avoid to stay nearby other raid members.

Kill enemies quickly so tanks and healers can have an easier time.

The DPSer that everyone loves

Be respectful! - In your first journeys as a DPS it is normal that you won't be at your best shape. Don't be afraid to admit it, tell your group that you're new and would like advice if possible, there is nothing wrong in that! Just remember to keep that in mind in your next journeys, when the new guy might happen to not be you.

DO NOT STAND IN FIRE! - (As fire here, read 'Anything that damages you until you move out of it') You may have heard that hundreds of times and you may even survive a couple ticks of that fire, but don't do it! Why not? Well, the first reason is that a dead DPS does 0 damage and we don't want that right? Second reason is that, even if you don't die, you will need extra heals, which can lead to the death of someone else in the group, like a tank, which can cause a wipe. Third reason is that if you grow used to standing in it, when it actually matters and you need to get away from it, you won't because you're used to standing in it.

Prioritize your kill targets properly. - Most of raid and dungeon fights, there will be new enemies that will join throughout the encounter, those enemies - also known as adds - will usually die much quicker and will have more priority to die than the boss. That said, make sure you switch your main damage target to adds when they spawn, even that it means that you will lose some DPS by doing so.

Stand inside healing/beneficial zones - The direct opposite from the first tip. Most of healers have spells that they can lay in the ground and, if you stand inside of them, you will get passively healed. If you spot one of them nearby you, go stand right on it! Also, some encounters will have benefitial zones as well, make sure the check the Dungeon Journal before you start the fight to see if it has one of those!

Wait until you start DPSing a new target - Keep in mind that you're not a tank. Let the tanks pick up new adds and bosses as they show up during encounters, otherwise you may get aggro from them, ending up getting killed really quick. That said, you should be fine to attack a new target once they are attacking one of your tanks.

While doing everything listed above, deliver the highest amount of damage possible - Last but not least, we can't forget to do what we're intended to do. Even if you execute all fight mechanics properly, bosses still need to die within a reasonable amount of time, which means that doing as much damage as possible is always important.

What Ranged DPS should I play?DruidaDruidaDruidaMajor Mechanics

The major mechanic for Druida is shapeshifting. Depending on what role the Druida wishes to perform, there is a different animal form to it. Ranged DPS Druida gain access to the Forma de Luniscante that changes you into a Moonkin (You probably saw some of those while leveling and probably killed some of them too.) If you don't enjoy being a chicken, there is always Glifo das Estrelas to change your form into an astral being.

Resources: To attack, Moonkins use a variety of different spells, all tied to nature. Moonkin's spells have two flavors: Sun and Moon. Each of those flavors is enhanced at one point in the fight by Moonkin's exclusive mechanic: Eclipse.

Damage Enhancements: By default, Moonkins have one big damage cooldown: . Two more are unlocked by selecting their respective talents: Encarnação: Escolhido de Eluna and

Utility: Moonkins bring some really neat utility to their groups:
Renascimento - In-combat resurrection;
Estouro da Manada - Speed boost to all nearby allies;
Raio Solar - Interrupt that lasts while the target stands in the area;
Pele de Árvore - Damage reduction cooldown to help keep yourself alive;
Arremetida - Speed boost that makes the druid unable to DPS, since you go to Forma de Felino, but can help you survive;
Remover Corrupção - Spell that removes curses and poisons if your group doesn't have a healer that can do so;
Confortar - Removes enrage effects from targets, really useful if there is no Ladino or Caçador in the group.

Liked what you see? For detailed information, please refer to our Balance Druid guide

You should play a Balance Druid if:

You enjoy Forma de Luniscante. (Wait until you see it dancing!)

You enjoy having good mobility.

You enjoy bringing utility to your group.

You don't mind having almost no control on what defines your basic damage rotation.

CaçadorCaçadorMajor Mechanics

The first thing that comes to everyone's minds when they thing about Caçadors, pets. While pets are not exclusive to Caçadors, they are a huge part of the class as a whole. Caçadors can tame over 50 different unique types of pets in the game, each pet belonging to a different pet family and bringing different benefits to the Caçador and his/her group. From stat increases to in-combat resurrections, pets can bring it all.

Resources: As stated before, Caçadors are the only non-magical ranged DPSer, having most of its attacks having no cast time. The only thing that limits a hunter is his main resource, focus. Focus works like Ladino and Monge's Energy, but it is restored at a slower rate. Because of that, Caçador have attacks that have a solely intention to restore focus.

Damage Enhancements: Overall, hunters have three damage increase cooldowns that are accessible to all three specs, all unlockable by talents: Estouro, Bando de Corvos and Fera Atroz. If you pick Marksmanship, you will also gain . And Ira Bestial if you go Beast Mastery

Utility: Hunters are one of the classes with the most utility in the game:
- All nearby casters can cast while moving for a short period;
/ - Nearby allies/you move 30% faster, taking damage will ALWAYS daze you during it, be careful when to use it;
Fingir de Morto - Drops your aggro and make you leave combat. Doesn't make you immune to mechanics, like fire;
Desvencilhar - Jump backwards a great distance and can be used to prevent fall damage;
Coibição - Prevents nearly all incoming damage;
- Reduces the range that enemies will see you;
Redirecionar - Redirects all the threat you generate to a target, useful to help tanks at start of fights or to pick up new adds;
Chamado do Mestre - Removes all slows and roots from your pet and other friendly target (can be yourself);
Tiro Distrativo - A short taunt that is really useful when there is a need to kite something.
Sinalizador - Reveals all stealth units in an area;
Tiro Retaliatório - Interrupts an enemy spell cast;
Tiro Tranquilizante - Removes magical and enrage effects, really useful in some encounters;
Tiro de Concussão - Dazes the target to 50% of their total movespeed;
Armadilha de Gelo - A trap that will slow enemies by 50% when triggered;
- A trap that will freeze whoever triggers it for 1 minute, any damage will break the freeze.

MagoMagoMajor Mechanics

Overall, there is not much that defines Magos as a whole, each spec is really different from one another. Being one based on attacking solely with hard nukes, without leaving traces being. Another strong with few targets, having a nice passive cleave while leaving the targets slowed for a while. And the third one based on critical strike, dealing more and more damage as that stat grows, making your enemies burn when you hit them, easily spreading its damage around.

Frost: Frost also has no direct resouce, but have two procs that change its normal flow: and Dedos Glaciais.

Damage Enhancements: The only cooldown that all three specs have is Distorção Temporal. From talents, all three specs can get and Imagem Espelhada. Besides those they have:
Arcane: Orbe Arcano(talent), , Poder Arcano and Evocação.
Fire: Meteoro(talent) and .
Frost: Chuva de Cometas(talent), Veias Gélidas and Orbe Congelado.

Utility: Magos bring utility both in-combat and outside of it:
Lampejo - A quick teleport a few yards away;
Invisibilidade - Drops all threat after a few seconds, making the Mago invisible as well;
Bloco de Gelo - Makes so you take no damage and clear all your debuffs, making your unable to move in the process;
Sopro do Dragão(Fire) - Disorient targets for a short period of time;
Cone de Frio(Frost) - Slows all nearby targets for a short period of time;

Comentado por Medyzzso you want some pro tips, huh?

go play Fire mage! the mos op class this xpansion! You will wreck DKs with no problem.

Holinka certified balanced class.

I love WoD PvP =). Everything so even. /laugh

Cheers!Comentado por XypsoAwesome post for those who haven't decided which RDps to play; Great work!Comentado por estherbambergNice format, and very digestible. All the details are great, but I especially like the concise "You should play a (class) if:" sections because they are so accessible.Comentado por bleuwolfeInteresting guide! It may be worth mentioning, that with the exception of hunters, ranged DPS often need to stand still while DPSing, which can affect their performance particularly in fights that require a lot of moving. Also, since hunters are so highly mobile, they are often assigned extra tasks in a given boss fight (in my guild hunters were responsible for belts on siegecrafter, engineers on garrosh, jumping in/out of the clumps on Butcher, etc.) Ranged classes in general are often assigned to adds as well, since they can usually just switch targets and not have to run over to new mobs like melee would.

Learned some things about classes I don't play, nice job.

Oh, and Spriest shadowform affects mounts as well, I've often been jealous of the awesome look of mounts like Tyrael's charger..... them purple wings......

PS- some people are put off hunters cause they don't like pet classes, but now 2 of the specs can go petless at level 100. Lobo SolitárioComentado por nurseferatuA couple of tips from a BM hunter who raids:
NEVER use aspect of the pack. Turn it off and forget you have it. If there is a specific raid mechanic that requires it then the raid leader or tank will ASK for it. Nothing is going to make you as unpopular as causing everyone in the raid to be repeatedly dazed during a fight because you forgot to turn this off.

Growl (on your pet) is your friend out in the world questing, it is NOT your friend in a raid or dungeon. Growl is usually on by default (little marching ants around the icon in the spellbook) and needs to be turned off if you are raiding. Move it to your pet toolbar so you have it handy and can easily confirm it is off. Notice your pet is dying a lot in this fight? Check growl - pet is probably stealing aggro from the tank and making their life harder. And your name mud!

Pet control is really important - put your pet on passive and send her to specific targets rather than allowing her to decide to pull every single mob in the raid to your group. Again, your tank and healers thank you.Comentado por MiocastDid they manage to make spriest single target damage competitive this expansion? I love the spec but in Mists it felt like it was impossible to deal a normal amount of DPS on bosses, so I kinda gave up on it, but I'm thinking about using it again.Comentado por estherbambergA couple of tips from a BM hunter who raids:

Hunter are non-magical dps... yeah maybe if he had only 2 specs...Comentado por theAntonSadly in today's community any admission of being new will just lead to a /kick.
But then you probably won't even be invited without the achievements anyways.

A nice guild is what you need, unfortunately those are hard to find...Comentado por JodomeGreat guide! Wanted to try a new class and had never really considered druid. Will give it a go after reading this guide.Comentado por felhunterprehaps it is worth mentioning that people should check for their class glyhps.

there are lot's of fairly useless ones except for certain niche fights.
but there are tons of really good all round glyphs for every class that are almost baseline in their use.
like for hunters i would say that all hunters should use Marca do Guepardo (since it removes the daze effect upon taking damage) and (for when you do group content with healers around, exception for hunters speccing into Lobo Solitário )
both are really strong glyphs for almost all occasions while something like Glifo Calcinado is nice while leveling, but in a raid enviroment. your pet shouldn't die anyway and having 80 focus ready for it to res up instantly isn't that usual of an occasion. so it's value drops a lot.

but yeah, prehaps mention a little general part that glyphs are something you should pay attention to since they can be very helpfull for solo/group content.Comentado por FalciiI feel like the shaman section was abit underserved, and maybe its because i main a shaman, but it feels like less detail was given about the ACTUAL mechanics involved then any other class besides maybe hunters, but they were 3 specs crammed into one. yeah, we have totems, but they are in most cases secondary. The rotation itself is about spending Lava Burst procs as soon as they come, keeping up a long DOT and using our filler to power our secondary nuke Earth Shock.

Also, saying we bind elementals is a bit misleading. We can call for aid of them through totems (lore says we made a contract with them to borrow their power) and while we used to be able to "Bind Elemental" (a spam-able cc) that was taken away with ability pruning.

Other than that i enjoyed the guide with the exception of the "enjoy bringing utillity to the group." It was on every single class except for priest which has quite a bit of utility in mass dispel and vampiric embrace.Comentado por CasnUnless explicit told to, avoid to stay nearby other raid members.Comentado por JrafiAn instructive post. People to really know who they want to reach and why or else, they'll have no way to know what they're trying to achieve. People need to hear this and have it drilled in their brains..
Thanks for sharing this great article.Comentado por CptnRadicalBanir can banish elementals tooComentado por estherbambergRevisiting this thread, there are more comments about Hunter Pet Management than I expected. And I could say even more than has been said here.

I did a (fast) search and looking for a pet guide got me a lot of battle pets, but nothing that I could see which was a guide focusing on the pet aspect of being a hunter exclusively. There are hunter guides, but none I can find which are only and all about that section of the class.

If there isn't one, could someone please write one? I am faaaarrrrrr too casual to even attempt to write a guide myself.

And if anyone knows of an existing one, link me?

Back to this guide, after spending the last week running Molten Core as often as I can manage around life, part of being a good DPS is not making the healers lives harder through location, location, location. Which is addressed in the "The DPSer that everyone loves" section. But like, ok, stay in the passive healing circle. Don't stand in the fire. Those are both different than knowing this boss does knockback so put your back to a wall and not the cliff or the lava. Or knowing the sweet zone where their AOE ends and your range ends. I love that zone ( Cinderfall and the Bridge, I am looking at you.)Comentado por kajitheninjai play a fire mage and love it even though the dps and damage are a bit low and everyone looks at me like i have 3 heads
