My first break

We all need new guides and stickys with 4.0.1 and Cataclysm changes.
I took a break after reaching 70. Came back and loved DK. Its a warlock in plates.

A guide to guides, might read:

Read each section individually.
Make sure you understand the underlying concepts.
When you do, read the next section.

Not sure what to recommend beyond that.



A lot of people innovate, coming up with a new approach.
Quite a few of them post what they did and the results.

Others put together a user manual for something already out there.

You could call these guides.

Beyond that, if you have a question..
A lot of people will try to answer you.
Is there anything in particular, which you'd want a guide on how to do?

I've taken several extended breaks. I was WoW-less most of this past year. Back in Vanilla, when I was still just playing one toon, I quit after the AQ opening. I was so burnt then that I vowed never to come back. BC had been out a few months before I begrudgingly came back. I've taken some shorter breaks here and there. Eventually something piques my interest and I come back.

The moral of the story - When they say 'I can haz ur stuffs?!' say no. You might need it some day down the road. ;)

I've taken multiple WoW breaks over the years, mostly woman related. Currently on week 3 of the current break (and current relationship).. Always come back. I'll prolly unsub 3 of my 5 accts tho and just 1-2box cata when it comes out.. 5boxing takes up a lot more time for me than solo..

Breaks are a good thing, even in the tooltips Blizzard mentions to play WoW in Moderation :)

.... I usually take time off during re-up time. Since I just usually pay 3-6mo at a time I find it best to take a break at that point.

On my 5th month break now. Waiting for Cata. Solo Boxing my newborn daughter :)

Gratz on the new level 1 addition :)
