Shaman Leveling Guide for Cataclysm

WoW's Shaman is a class that requires a bit of skill, but rewards that skill with a great deal of versatility.

You can be a whirlwind of death, a bolt-lobber of doom, or an excellent healer. Get the Dual Spec ability (at 30) from your trainer and you'll be able to switch between two builds.

Warrior Leveling Guide for Cataclysm

Warriors are one of my favorite classes to level and they provide the fun gaming style of non-stop death-dealing combined with a decent overall leveling speed that can come in narrowly behind rogues and hunters, if done correctly.

Warriors do need to be geared well at all times, perhaps more than most classes, but Auction House gear will serve you well. Keep your weapons updated and you will level quickly enough.

Then you charge, main, rend, mutilate, crush, kill, and destroy the opposition. At higher levels you become a whirlwind of death, what's not to like? PvP, raiding, you can do it all and you'll be doing it with two 2-handed weapons. You're not a tank, your job is to crash into the enemy and destroy them.
