||

||
| − | * Speed boosts to help run away from mobs, or generally get around quicker. |
||
| − | * Instant-cast self-heals for when trying to run away. |
||
| − | * Protection for when taking long falls (such as Mage’s Soft Fall or Paladin’s bubble). |
||

| − | :''See main article: [[User:Nagrand/Pacifist Rogue|Pacifist Rogue]].'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Shaman === |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Warlock === |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Warrior === |
||
| − | Warrior would be a very odd choice as a pacifist given that the vary definition of it is one who makes war. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Choosing a Race == |
||
| − | The races that offer the most value to pacifists are [[Night elf (playable)|Night Elves]] on the Alliance side, and [[Tauren (playable)|Tauren]] on the Horde side. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Blood Elf === |
||
| − | *[[Arcane Torrent]]: Damage reduction/escape. |
||
| − | *[[Arcane Resistance (blood elf racial)]]: Damage reduction. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Draenei === |
||
| − | *[[Gift of the Naaru]]: Extra healing is often useful. |
||
| − | *[[Gemcutting]]: Only useful if you plan to eventually take on the Jewelcrafting profession. |
||
| − | *[[Shadow Resistance (racial)]]: Damage reduction. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Dwarf === |
||
| − | *[[Stoneform]]: Damage reduction. |
||
| − | *[[Frost Resistance]]: Damage reduction. |
||
| − | *[[Explorer]]: Given the experience value Archaeology has for pacifists (as well as being one of the few non-violent sources of nice gear), speeding it up can be useful. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Gnome === |
||
| − | *[[Escape Artist]]: Escape. |
||
| − | *[[Arcane Resistance (gnome racial)]]: Damage reduction. |
||
| − | *[[Engineering Specialization]]: Only useful if you plan to eventually take on the Engineering profession. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Goblin === |
||
| − | It is impossible to play a pacifist goblin because of the mandatory starting quest line. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Human === |
||
| − | *[[The Human Spirit]]: Faster health recovery. |
||
| − | *[[Diplomacy]]: Given how few opportunities pacifists have for increasing reputation, this boost could be particularly useful. |
||
| − | *[[Every Man for Himself]]: Escape. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Night Elf === |
||
| − | All of the night elf racial traits can be useful to pacifists: |
||
| − | *[[Elusiveness (night elf racial)]]: Hiding. |
||
| − | *[[Quickness]]: Damage reduction. |
||
| − | *[[Nature Resistance (racial)]]: Damage reduction. |
||
| − | *[[Shadowmeld]]: Hiding. |
||
| − | *[[Wisp Spirit]]: Pacifists die a lot, since they don’t fight back. Faster recovery from death is definitely useful. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Orc === |
||
| − | *[[Hardiness]]: Escape. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Tauren === |
||
| − | All of the tauren racial traits can be useful to pacifists: |
||
| − | *[[War Stomp]]: Escape. |
||
| − | *[[Endurance]]: Survivability. |
||
| − | *[[Cultivation]]: Access higher-level herbs more quickly for more experience. |
||
| − | *[[Nature Resistance (racial)]]: Damage reduction. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Troll === |
||
| − | *[[Berserking]]: Faster casting speed is useful when casting escape, healing, or other useful abilities. |
||
| − | *[[Regeneration (racial)]]: Faster health regeneration, plus regeneration when being attacked. |
||
| − | *[[Da Voodoo Shuffle]]: Escape. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Undead === |
||
| − | *[[Will of the Forsaken]]: Escape. |
||
| − | *[[Underwater Breathing]]: Survivability. |
||
| − | *[[Shadow Resistance (racial)]]: Damage reduction. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Worgen === |
||
| − | It is impossible to play a pacifist worgen because of the mandatory starting quest line. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Primary Professions == |
||
| − | |||
| − | {{ProfIcon|Mining}}[[Mining]] and {{ProfIcon|Herbalism}}[[Herbalism]] are the only primary professions that should be considered while levelling a pacifist. Both give experience (unlike any other of the primary professions). |
||
| − | |||
| − | If you make it to end-game level, then you can consider switching one or both of your professions. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[Leatherworking]] is obviously out for vegans, and won’t be of use to non-vegan pacifists because of the Skinning materials needed. [[Tailoring]] and [[Enchanting]] are also out since the mats required come almost exclusively from killing and looting mobs. |
||
| − | |||
| − | {{ProfIcon|Alchemy}}[[Alchemy]] and {{ProfIcon|Inscription}}[[Inscription]] work with Herbalism. Alchemy is the more useful of the two given the usefulness of the potions crafted for avoiding mobs (such as [[Invisibility Potion]]), or surviving when trying to escape. |
||
| − | |||
| − | {{ProfIcon|Blacksmithing}}[[Blacksmithing]], {{ProfIcon|Jewelcrafting}}[[Jewelcrafting]] and {{ProfIcon|Engineering}}[[Engineering]] all work with Mining. Of these three, Engineering is probably the most useful for pacifists because of the special abilities given by the trinkets and other items crafted. Those abilities can be beneficial for avoiding mobs, or surviving when running away. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Secondary Professions == |
||
| − | |||
| − | Pacifists will definitely want to take up {{ProfIcon|Archaeology}}[[Archaeology]], since digging up artifacts grants experience. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Cooking === |
||
| − | |||
| − | Most {{ProfIcon|Cooking}}[[Cooking]] recipes, and many of the daily quests, involve meat, so vegans will want to steer clear of those. There is still a path to maximum cooking level that is vegan safe. |

Revision as of 09:30, 10 March 2011

The subject of this article was removed from World of Warcraft in patch 4.0.3a.
|
 Frenzied Black Drake | |
|---|---|
 | |
| Title | <Cyrus's Minion> |
| Race | Black drake (Dragonkin) |
| Level | 54 |
| Reaction | Alliance Horde |
| Location | Burning Steppes |
The Frenzied Black Drake is a level 54 black drake spawned when a player talks to Cyrus Therepentous during the quest 
[54] A Taste of Flame. This quest requires a player to obtain a 
[Black Dragonflight Molt] which can either be obtained through [Hoard of the Black Dragonflight] received at the end of the [48] Divine Retribution questline or by slaying and looting the Frenzied Black Drake.
Notes
Prior to patch 2.3, this drake used to be elite and very difficult to solo, forcing many players obtaining the Molt through Divine Retribution, alas this is no longer the case, and Frenzed Black Drake can easily be solo'd now. It is also worth noting many players didn't know any better that talking to Cyrus Therepentous would spawn an elite dragon, and very often Therepentous' cave would be fulled of player corpses or skeletons.
