Start-to-Hero

A purposeful five-stage path.

  1. Create: choose a supported class and decide the primary role.
  2. Level: use correct armor, primary stat, and weapons; replace heirlooms when they stop scaling.
  3. Practice: bind the interrupt, defensive, movement, and class utility before endgame.
  4. Gear: follow the selected specialization page for tier, weapons, trinkets, gems, enchants, and consumables.
  5. Hero audit: finish the build, then compare performance and utility rather than race alone.

Supported specialization guides

Pick the exact build.

Each linked page contains the gearing, talents, rotation framework, consumables, addons, macros, and final audit for that specialization.
